The overarching goal of this consultancy is to help CRS expand existing and develop new knowledge products related to its malaria campaign digitalization practice area. This body of work will contribute to CRS’ localization and capacity development efforts, deliver against core grant commitments, and substantially advance the agency’s Digital Health strategy. Concretely, the products will underpin and serve as companion texts to CRS’ capacity development offerings.The consultant will lead the development of these new and updated materials: managing the production of the product, architecting the content, leading the research by eliciting and synthesizing direction and inputs from the digital health and campaign digitilization teams, from Country Programs, and from key partners, and ultimately writing the materials.
The intended audience is partner staff, including that of local NGOs and partner governments, involved in the planning, preparation, and implementation of digital health campaigns in the malaria space and beyond. The products will also support decision makers in ministries and departments relevant to the development of health and digital strategies.
These products include:
1. technical standards for the digitalization of campaigns;
2. playbook for governments transitioning to DPI solutions for digital campaigns, reflecting CRS’ experience
in providing technical assistance in the same; and
3. a second edition of CRS campaign digitilization handbook, inclusive of solution selection and costing
guidance.
