Job Title: Team Leader – Nigeria Health Population and Nutrition (HPN) Rapid Assessment

Project Objective:

USAID/Nigeria has engaged the MEL Support Activity to conduct a rapid assessment (RA) to understand where women deliver and why the majority of women of reproductive age (WRA) do not deliver in a health facility or with a skilled provider. This assessment is important to guide USAID’s support to the Government of Nigeria (GoN) for how and where our future investments should go to better serve the women (and their children) to reduce maternal mortality rates in Nigeria Though this is a rapid assessment, the study will provide specific insights into the following proposed states:

  • South-South: Akwa-Ibom
  • South-East: Ebonyi
  • South-West: Lagos
  • North-East: Borno
  • North-West: Kano
  • North-Central: FCT

The specific objective of the rapid assessment is to determine the exact locations (places) where women give birth, the factors influencing their choice of delivery location, and any barriers to using skilled providers for delivery.

The findings (and recommendations) from the rapid assessment will inform the client-centered approach to HPN’s new designs regarding:

  • PHC Quality of Care
  • Community Health
  • Health Financing and Human Resources for Health
  • Logistics and Supply Chain, and
  • Digital Health

An important output from the qualitative review (FGDs and KIIs) will be journey maps. Careful consideration will be given to the selection of research participants in terms of demographic, psychographic variables, or life stages e.g. first-time pregnant women, first-time mothers, postpartum women with infants (under one), recently married nulliparous women, adolescent mothers/parents, etc. Selection into each FGD group or as key informant will be guided by inclusion criteria, ensuring close representation of a unique persona (to be jointly agreed to by MELSA and USAID) and journey maps will be created for each persona type.

The estimated start date will be July 8, 2024. The assessment is expected to last until September 2024.

Candidates are reviewed on a rolling basis; early submission is recommended.
