Consultancy / Term of reference at Tropical Health and Education Trust February, 2023Key Responsibilities:
The THET Consultant in Tanzania will carry out activities for the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) programme, which runs until March 2025.
Funded by the UK Department for Health and Social Care’s Fleming Fund and managed by the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) and the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA), the first round of CwPAMS funded 26 grant holders to tackle the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. These projects focussed on strengthening the capacity of health workers in antimicrobial stewardship within individual health institutions. All activities fed into implementing the governments’ AMR National Action Plans.
A new phase, CwPAMS 2, started in July 2022. A total of £2,000,000 is available for grants running from April 2023 to January 2025. Each country is therefore likely to be awarded 1-5 grants for a total amount of £100,000 to £500,000.
The activities expected of the consultant as part of this scheme will fall into the following workstreams:
- Inception phase
- Developing and strengthening co-ordination between grant holders and other key health institutions, including the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender the Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), national AMR co-ordinating bodies and other Fleming Fund actors.
- Facilitating learning and collaboration between grant holders
- Supporting grant holders to improve their operations
- Supporting THET with monitoring of grant holders
- Overseeing THET’s administrative position in Tanzania
The Consultant will also liaise with a Tanzania CPA Consultant, who will provide technical support relating to antimicrobial stewardship to the grant holders.
The contract is for 112.5 days over 25 months, which works out at 4.5 days a month. Consultants will receive a daily rate of £190, which totals to £21,375 for the whole programme. The consultant will invoice THET monthly. Please note that this is non-negotiable and will cover all expenses apart from project-related travel and communication expenses. Consultants will be given an allowance to help deliver the work, with £100 a month available for transport, communications and meeting costs.
Receipts must be kept, where possible, in order to claim for support costs. Consultants will not be expected to use their own funds to cover project-related costs.
