HPP HIV Consultant


Location:         Namibia
Job Code:        999
# of Openings:            1

Background information:
There is broad consensus among global development partners and governments that HIV and sexual and reproductive health programs are strongly linked and when offered in an integrated model, can bring about overall improvements in health systems. Integration can take several forms, including the incorporation of family planning and reproductive health services into existing HIV service delivery models, and the integration of Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) and other HIV services into sexual and reproductive health services, or existing primary health care delivery. Within integrated sites, there is also variation with respect to how referrals are made, and how much time staff members spend across various disciplines. The type of integration is largely driven by broader health sector reforms and is likely to be unique in each setting. As PEPFAR examines how best to scale up PMTCT services, it is important to evaluate different types of integrated models, and to assess both the effectiveness and efficiency of these models. Since 2011, UNAIDS and UNFPA has supported seven countries to address barriers in the efficient and effective delivery of integrated sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and HIV services. In Namibia, the Ministry of Health and Social Services, UNFPA and UNAIDS conducted a baseline evaluation across 7 pilot sites that were selected for integration by the UNAIDS and UNFPA teams in urban, peri-urban and rural areas. The pilot sites were partially integrated, but the level of integration varied across sites and was measured using a percentage at baseline. In a partially integrated model all services are available at one facility, yet patients are referred to different nurses for different services. In a non-integrated model, patients are referred to different facilities for different services. The evaluation included a rapid assessment at the policy level, interviews with key informants, direct observation and client interview. The evaluation was conducted to measure patient wait times, satisfaction, etc. UNAIDS, UNFPA and WHO will then oversee the full integration of SRH and HIV services at these sites for the course of a year at least. In this case, full integration refers to the implementation of a system in which one nurse provides one patient with care in one room. After one year, UNAIDS, UNFPA and WHO will conduct a study to understand how integration affected quality and efficiency of service delivery. The study will look specifically at how nurse productivity and patient wait times vary across the models. However, to get a true measure of efficiency, and to be able to say whether or not the fully integrated model is cost-effective, there is a need for data on the costs of the different models. To assist with the process, the Health Policy Project (HPP) in partnership with UNAIDS, UNFPA and WHO will conduct a baseline costing by collecting cost data retrospectively or prior to the SRH and HIV integration at the 7 pilot sites. In other words, for sites that have already been integrated, HPP will collect the cost information from retrospective financial and service delivery data, as well as hold discussions with facility managers about the previous service delivery model. For sites that have not yet integrated, HPP will collect baseline data. HPP will also collect cost data at a midpoint to assess costs after approximately 6 months of integration. Cost data will be collected for a range of SRH and HIV related services such as PMTCT, antiretroviral treatment (ART) and Family Planning (FP). Outside the scope of this protocol, an endline evaluation and costing will be conducted approximately one year after integration. The baseline and midline costs derived during this activity will be compared to each other, and later to those costs collected at endline. Understanding the costs of integration will provide an evidence base for countries considering the adoption of integrated SRH and HIV services. Evidence from this study will allow countries to assess cost drivers, resources needed and additional resources that need to be requested. Study Aim The aim of this study is to derive the cost of serving the average individual for a range SRH and HIV clinical services in Namibia prior to and at the midpoint of integration.

Study Objectives
The specific study objectives are to: 1) Calculate pre-integration provider-side unit cost of serving the average individual for a range of SRH and HIV clinical services in Namibia. 2) Calculate mid-integration provider-side unit cost of serving the average individual for a range of SRH and HIV clinical services at Namibian pilot sites that have actively integrated these clinical services for a minimum of six months. 3) Combine data from the costing study with data from the evaluation to obtain measures of efficiency of service delivery in the partially integrated model.

Activities
1. Lead data collection for a costing study to understand the costs before and after integration of HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Namibia.
2. Collect all data, or, if working with another data collector, train data collector and monitor data collection.
3. Lead the pilot study in at least one of the seven sites where data will be collected. The sites are: a. Khomas Region: Khomasdal Health Center, Hakahana Clinic, and Namibia Planned Parenthood Association (NAPPA) b. Otjozondjupa Region: Nau-Aib Clinic c. Omaheke Region: Epako Clinic d. Oshikoto Region: Okankolo Health Centre e. Caprivi Region: Kanano Clini
4. Submit a write-up of the pilot study, including any problems experienced, whether the tool was useful in collecting the right information, and whether any changes need to be made to the tool or methodology.
5. Lead implementation of data collection from implementing partners and key local organizations at seven sites in Namibia.
6. Enter data into costing spreadsheet provided by HPP.
7. Write up any observations or qualitative findings from site visits to be used in the final report.

Deliverables
1 Summary of pilot test, including any problems experienced, whether the tool was useful in collecting the right information, and whether any changes need to be made to the tool or methodology
2 Data collected from seven sites and entered into costing spreadsheet provided by HPP 3 Written observations from study (Microsoft Word document, 4-10 pages in length)

• Experience working in Namibia collecting costing data
• Experience collecting costing data from either HIV or Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Programs

GH, Ethics Consultant


Job Description:

BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the World Health Organisation (WHO) released Guidelines for Ethical TB Treatment, Care and Control. This guidance is meant to address all dilemmas related to the rights of TB patients, the community, TB programmes, and health care workers in the management of TB patients. The guidance covers all aspects of TB care including:

• Obligation to provide access to care
• Information, counseling and the role of consent
• Adherence support
• Gap between drug susceptibility testing and access to treatment for drug-resistance
• Health care workers’ rights and obligations
• Involuntary isolation and detention
• TB research

The document can be found at http://www.who.int/tb/challenges/mdr/ethics/en/.

The purpose of this project is to disseminate the guidelines through a utility-based process, for programmes to assess their own ethical practices. As a pilot, this project will be conducted in a limited fashion, processes documented, and feedback incorporated for future dissemination of a self-assessment tool on ethics.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

(Obtain feedback from in-country partners on the use of the ethics tool.)
1. Obtain final approval of protocol and facilitate the Project Research registration with MOHSS
2. Source consent from respondents at NTLP at proposed sites for pilot testing
3. Pilot Testing (Data collection) at the proposed sites
4. Focus group discussions
5. Data processing, entry and Analysis
6. Write country-level report
7. Stakeholder Dissemination Meeting of Report findings
8. Produce a summary of feedback from sites

Who is involved: The following partners are involved in the development and pilot-testing of the tool:
• University Research Corporation (URC) - A global company with the mission to improve the quality of health care, social services, and health education worldwide. With its non-profit affiliate, the Center for Human Services (CHS), URC manages projects in over 30 countries and is the prime holder of the TB CARE II contract with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) which is funding this project
• New Jersey Medical School Global Tuberculosis Institute (GTBI) – An academically- based training, research, and clinical TB center in Newark, New Jersey, United States
• Project HOPE, Inc. (PH) – A non-governmental global health organisation focusing on education of health professionals and community health workers, strengthening health facilities, and disease prevention.

Target Audience: The tool can potentially be completed by personnel who possess an understanding the following issues in the country:
• Medicine procurement
• Access to care
• Resource availability
• Support for vulnerable populations
• Diagnostic procedures
• Contact tracing
• Research
• Legal interventions
• Provider practices
• Adherence enhancing interventions

Personnel should not only be National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) staff, but representatives from district level programmes. Additional persons may include providers and other health care workers, academic partners, patient group representatives, researchers, and policy experts.

Country Selection: Pilot sites were chosen based on staffing by both URC and PH. USAID’s in-country mission staff members have approached the Ministries of Health in several countries with such representation to assess whether they can participate in the piloting of this tool. If a health ministry has stated that they currently do not have the capacity nor time to complete the process, they were not included in the piloting process.

PROTOCOL:

Site Selection:

Representative sites will be selected and the following characteristics will be considered in site selection:

1. Type of facility: policy/management body, hospital and clinic
2. Location of facility (urban vs. rural; TB burden in the surrounding catchment area and availability of HOPE program support staff)
3. Level of facility (hospital versus clinic)

The following sites are proposed:

1) National Level: NTLP
2) Two Proposed District hospitals: Nkurenkuru and Onandjokwe
3) Three clinics: Two Kavango Region and One Oshikoto Region, minimum caseload 8 patients, preferably some MDR patients on treatment
Site Visit Team:

The team performing the pilot testing will consist of the following individuals:

1. One Regional or National MOHSS representative
2. The Consultant

Data Collection:

The Ethical TB Treatment, Care and Control Tool Pilot Testing Project has two primary components: completion of a paper based assessment tool by providers, managers and health information staff and an interview with them subsequent to completing the tool to gain their thoughts and improve the tool. Annex 1 includes the tool and Annex 2 includes the proposed interview questions. Additional basic information about the site will be collected as noted in Annex 3.

Interviews:

After completion of the assessment tool, the team will interview facility managers, providers and data collection staff at sites as noted above based on the tool attached in Annex 2

Recording:

The completed assessment tool and the written record from the interviews will be collected from each individual participant.

Process:

The tool will be completed by individuals; it may take 1 to 2 hours per respondent to complete. Some of the questions cannot be completed by all individuals based on their knowledge and type of role they have in TB care and control.
The consultant will then conduct a group interview with the individuals who completed the tool about their experience using the tool in Annex 2.
Responses will be used to refine the tool and make recommendations about how to use it.

DELIVERABLES:

Upon tool completion by all persons involved as well as the interviews of respondents, the information collected must be clarified and summarized. This will be done by the Consultant and Ministry of Health (MOH) staff. The information should best reflect what was stated by respondents without any major editing.
The information collected will be reviewed by the MOHSS NTLP and then sent to GTBI for review. The data will be combined with information collected from the Mozambique pilot testing. Information will be shared with both countries’ MOHs - the country-specific responses to the tools will be shared with each country only. General pilot-testing information about the use of the tool will be shared with both countries. URC and USAID staff will receive and final combined country report.
Information from the interviews about the tool completion will be used to revise the tool as needed.

DISSEMMINATION:

The final tool will be posted to the TB CARE II website for use by other countries. Based on what information was collected from this process, the MOHs from Mozambique and Namibia may be approached about sharing the collected information about the process to share in a presentation for an international TB conference. The presentation may include the information collected from the ethics tools and/or it may include the information about the process of developing, pilot-testing, revising, and disseminating the tool. This will be decided in concurrence with all parties involved in the information collection.
In addition, a representative of GTBI and the Consultant will present the findings from the Namibia at a one national meeting or 3 meetings (1 national and 2 regional). In the former case, regional representatives involved in the pilot testing will be provided travel to Windhoek. If the latter approach is chosen, the project implementation team will travel to the regions.

STRUCTURE OF THE OFFER:

Time schedule:

The project is expected to commence in April 2013 and be finalised by the 31st July 2013. It is also expected that the final project report be handed in hard copy and soft copy to the Project HOPE Head Quarters on the same date at 17h00
