Consultancy for Development of Coaching Capacity in Health Management Teams.

1.General details for the assignment**

Location – Nairobi, Kenya

Duration – May 2017 to December 2019

Start Date – Upon signing the contract

Reports to – SETH management team

2.Project Back ground**

Action Against Hunger together with Hellen Keller International through the support of global Affairs Canada are implementing a Maternal, neonatal and child health and Nutrition project in the western region of Kenya. The project named System Enhancement for Transformative health (SETH) seeks to contribute towards the reduction of Maternal and child mortality.

The project team will work closely with service providers in the health system in five counties to provide them with guidance and support in order to strengthen the health system and ultimately improve quality, availability and access to MNCH services. As SETH is a systems strengthening program, the health system workers at different levels will be in the lead for all decisions and no additional resources will be provided to the health system other than some specific support for ad hoc capacity building when deemed relevant.

SETH will not remain at the level of health and nutrition indicators but will also look at the functioning of the health system at county level. Our teams will work closely with County Health management Team (CHMT) members to identify and address inefficiencies in the way the system is working: communication flow, organization of the daily work, decision-making processes, coordination between CHMT members and the other county actors, etc. This direct support will also consider the way the CHMT works with sub-counties, and the way sub-counties work with facilities, to analyse and improve cooperation between the various levels of the county health system. In order to provide such support to CHMT members, the SETH team will need to develop coaching and facilitation skills. They aim at strengthening the managerial and leadership skills of the county teams, so need to develop theirs first.

3.Scope and Objective of the consultancy:**

A company / consultants is sought that will be responsible for building the capacity of the project team to enable them to adequately provide coaching and support to County health teams during the life of the project. It is expected that a follow up be provided after an initial capacity building event.

The SETH team is composed of five (5) field officers, each based in Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, West Pokot and TransNzoia who will be the primary target of the consultancy and capacity building. The team is also composed of three national coordinators, based in Nairobi, who will need to be trained, during the initial phase, so they can develop their capacity in coaching too and provide adequate support to the field officers. The follow up should focus on the projects officers and should also integrate the national coordinators.

4.Location of work**

Most initial activities will be conducted in Nairobi, Kenya. However, the 5 officers that compose the SETH team are based in five different counties in Western Kenya (Bungoma, Trans-Nzoia, Kakamega, West Pokot, Busia), which should be taken into account for the follow up process.

5.Timeframe**

The duration of the project is from May 2017 to December 2019. The consultant will be expected to carry out an initial training for the project team during the first months and conduct follow up sessions with the trainees for a period to be determined between the consultant and the Project management team.

  1. Expected Deliverables of the consultancy
  1. Develop a tailor-made training on coaching skills for the project team of at least 8 people and train the project team on best practices in coaching (deliverable: training report)
  2. Provide follow-up and on job mentorship for the project team (deliverable: follow up report on quarterly or biannual basis)
  3. Provide documentation and ongoing monitoring of the coaching process (deliverable: final report).

7.General Conditions of the consultancy**

  • The company / consultants will be responsible for accommodation of its costs in Nairobi, Kenya.
  • Initial training of the team will take place in Nairobi.
  • The company / consultants will conduct his/her work using his/her own computer equipment.

Action Against Hunger

Action Against Hunger works to save lives by combating hunger and diseases that threaten the lives of vulnerable communities, through nutrition, food security, water and sanitation, health and advocacy.

Action Against Hunger saves lives while building long-term strategies for self-sufficiency:

  • Lifesaving impact in 45+ countries
  • 6,500+ field staff assisting more than 14.9 million people in 2015
  • 35+ years of expertise in contexts of conflict, disasters and food crises

Our global efforts save hundreds of thousands of lives each year, but millions of malnourished children remain in need of lifesaving treatment.

Why Our Work Matters

Deadly malnutrition claims the lives of 1 million children each year, even though it’s:

  1. PREDICTABLE: We know where and when to expect acute malnutrition
  2. PREVENTABLE: We know how to help children stay healthy
  3. TREATABLE: Therapeutic ready-to-use foods can help save millions
  4. AFFORDABLE: Just $45 can provide a child with lifesaving treatment

You can trust Action Against Hunger. Here’s why:

  • Highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator, ten years in a row
  • Listed as an “A”-rated organization by CharityWatch
  • We're accountable, meeting all 20 Better Business Bureau standards
  • Earned Guidestar's Gold Participant Seal for our commitment to transparency
  • Awarded the “Best in America” seal by the Independent Charities of America

What Others Are Saying

Don’t take it from us: here’s what others have to say of our work:

“Action Against Hunger is a NGO that is action oriented. I can truthfully say that they deliver services to those in need and are very present on the ground. They make lasting positive change in the lives of people. I worked for them in four countries and have a good understanding of how they work.”

– Holimata, Great Nonprofits Review

“Action Against Hunger is in war-torn countries that many fear to tread. They are technical people… that forgo the comforts of modern life to assist local populations and refugees at the most fundamental level in the most dangerous locales. They provide nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, and food sustainability. They train populations to be self-sufficient. Although these dedicated men and women want to eliminate the need for their services, humanity is not willing and forces them to witness the most heinous actions.”

– President Nelson Mandela, Recipient, Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Prize 2004

“As a field worker and a partner... I recommend Action Against Hunger as an effective and important organization. Through their integrated approach and expertise in nutrition, food security and water, sanitation and hygiene they are saving lives and improving them for years to come in some of the poorest parts of the planet.”

– Water Advocate, Great Nonprofits Review, Dec. 8, 2011

“Action Against Hunger—the title speaks for itself. This is a remarkable organization with a staff of energetic, enthusiastic and deeply committed people who are determined to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people. There are millions who do not have access to clean water, food, health services or education. They are condemned to a grinding life of poverty with no choices. Action Against Hunger is changing this. Their training programs are improving the quality of life and health and, above all, bringing hope to thousands in underdeveloped countries. I commend them for their outstanding work and welcome the opportunity to express my support.”

– Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus, Recipient, Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Prize 2006

“I’ve been covering humanitarian crises since the early 1990s and have often been impressed by the work of Action Against Hunger. They are among the first to respond when tragedies unfold, and they work to ensure that communities have a fighting chance to get back on their feet... The nightly news can often seem overwhelming, but it’s important to remember there are effective ways to fight hunger and overcome poverty, and along with groups like Action Against Hunger, you can become part of the solution.”
