Job Title: Consultant, Support to the Nigeria National Malaria Elimination Program to organize a Clustered Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (cLQAS) Training, GLOBAL Different Locations

Job Purpose:

(Continued from Organizational Context)

Nigeria’s National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) has led the successful distribution of over 300 million insecticide treated nets (ITNs) since 2009 through mass campaigns. Over time, the NMEP and implementing partners have developed expertise for different campaign processes, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of mass ITN distribution to achieve the WHO Global Technical Strategy (GTS) targets for universal coverage of malaria prevention.

Maintaining high coverage of ITNs for populations in need is important to provide community-level protection from malaria vectors. ITN mass distribution campaigns successfully achieve a rapid increase in ownership of and access to ITNs. However, in some cases, households (HH) do not receive any ITNs or receive an incorrect number of ITNs (fewer or more than planned in relation to the campaign ITN allocation rules), leading to lower than expected ITN coverage following campaigns.

To respond to demand from national malaria programmes for guidance and easy-to-use tools for planning and implementing approaches for assessing the quality of household registration during their ITN campaigns, as well as the quality of their ITN campaign during and post-distribution, the Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP) developed general procedures for assessing the quality of ITN mass distribution campaign household registration and ITN distribution activities using clustered lot quality assurance sampling (cLQAS).

LQAS is a rapid survey method to assess the quality of coverage following a health intervention in pre-defined areas such as health districts or sub-districts (known as lots) using a small sample size. Traditionally, LQAS has been used with a simple random sample design. cLQAS divides the sample (N) into smaller clusters (k) of n individuals, where N=k*n.

Nigeria’s NMEP has been implementing end process monitoring for ITN campaigns for more than a decade. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NMEP and partners updated the methodology for the end process monitoring to ensure statistically valid results that are representative of the areas where the campaign took place. Under the previous SOW for support to Nigeria’s ITN campaigns, AMP implemented hands on work with the team, as well as virtual training. Given a need to reinforce the learning and the opportunity to do it as an in-person training, the NMEP has requested AMP to organize and implement a cLQAS capacity-building session for the workstream advisors and members, the implementing partners and other key stakeholders involved with the ITN campaign planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

Job Purpose

The overall objective of the SOW is to organize and implement a cLQAS capacity-building session covering the protocol, the sampling, the tools, analysis of data, follow up investigation and use of data for decision-making. The training will be organized in Abuja and dates will be determined by the NMEP. Approximately 35 participants will be invited to the training.

The objectives of the workshop are:

  • To update knowledge and skills for planning and implementing, as well as supervising, end process monitoring using cLQAS, as well as to ensure that sound methods are used (based on the end process monitoring) for the in-process monitoring done during the household mobilization by the internal monitors.
  • To ensure that the updated IG annex and tools for in and end process monitoring are sufficiently detailed, correct and ready for full rollout.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

Specific objectives:

  1. Work with the NMEP and partners to conduct a four-day training including:
    • Pre-training planning/agenda development
    • Review of training agenda, materials, etc
    • Develop materials and tools
    • Facilitate the four-day workshop
  2. At the end of the workshop, make any needed updates to the annex and tools for end process monitoring (as well as in-process internal monitoring) based on the feedback from participants.

Outputs and deliverables

  • National team personnel trained to improve the quality of household registration and ITN distribution activities relevant to the state context
  • Final report detailing work undertaken and recommendations for next steps
  • Updated in/end process monitoring annex and tools

Timeframe and duration

The SOW will cover 18 days, including the in-country support period between 02 February – May 2025. Actual dates for in-country support to be confirmed with NMEP based on staff availability.

  • Distance support for training planning: 3 days
  • In-country training: 7 days (2 days before, 4-day workshop and 1 day after)
  • Post-training updating of tools and materials for in/end process monitoring: 2 days

Alignment to the IFRC’s objectives and strategy:

The Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP)’s mandate aligns to the Federation’s Strategy 2030 as it supports the achievement of strategic aims:

1) Save lives, protect livelihoods and strengthen recovery from disasters and crises.

2) Enable healthy and safe living.

Objective and outcomes:

Objective #1: Scaling up and maintaining universal coverage targets of malaria prevention with ITNs through all available channels including mass distribution campaigns and continuous distribution channels.

Desired outcomes: To address some of the most critical challenges countries, partners, and TA providers face with planning and implementing mass ITN campaigns and to identify cost-effective and efficient strategies.

Support to be provided to the consultant:

The consultant will be supported by the Manager – Malaria Programmes and the Officer, Country Support.

Time allocation, for budget purposes
