81269334 — Capacity Building for Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH)
Capacity Building for Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH)
Project duration: Contract Award — 31 March 2023
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the GIZ Project BACKUP Health supports better implementation of programmes financed by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). The project helps to ensure that grants are used in an efficient manner that focuses on target groups and strengthens the health system. In this way, it boosts the effectiveness and sustainability of the funded measures. At the same time it increases the contribution of the GFATM to achieving strong, adaptable and sustainable health systems and also offers greater protection against diseases and outbreaks of epidemics.
BACKUP Health work thus reflects the current GF strategy 2017-2022, which includes the strategic objective (SO2) ‘Building Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health’ (RSSH) that aims at integrating health system strengthening measures into the funding requests of the partner countries.
In collaboration with the GFATM, Expertise France L'Initiative and FCDO, BACKUP Health has launched a new initiative that aims at improving the impact of the GF's Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) investments on HIV, TB, malaria and other primary healthcare services by strengthening country stakeholders' technical, programmatic and operational capacities in RSSH. For developing a sustainable impact, ensuring continuous training and enabling cross-border knowledge exchange, this initiative will establish North-South partnerships with two academic institutions in anglophone and francophone Africa and initiate a South-South learning approach in the regional trainings.
In close cooperation with the GFATM, Expertise France L'Initiative, FCDO and BACKUP, the contractor is expected to further develop the training material and technical content for 4 thematic workshops on key RSSH topics in such a way that they are applicable to country specific contexts (both in French and English). The contractor will also be responsible for convening country specific workshops on RSSH and regional capacity building workshops on key RSSH topics for country stakeholders.
The tender is looking for an academic institution that has a track-record of collaborating with academic institutions across anglophone and francophone Africa, in order to utilize such an established network of cooperation for starting to build regional RSSH capacity building hubs.
The contractor will be expected to not only closely coordinate with BACKUP Health, but all partners of the joint initiative (GFATM, Expertise France l'Initiative, FCDO) as well as consult with the Technical Advisory Group set up as part of the initiative.

Capacity Building for Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH)
Project duration: Contract Award — 31 March 2023
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the GIZ Project BACKUP Health supports better implementation of programmes financed by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GF). The project helps to ensure that grants are used in an efficient manner that focuses on target groups and strengthens the health system. In this way, it boosts the effectiveness and sustainability of the funded measures. At the same time it increases the contribution of the GF to achieving strong, adaptable and sustainable health systems and also offers greater protection against diseases and outbreaks of epidemics.
Backup Health work thus reflects the current GF strategy 2017-2022, which includes the strategic objective (SO2) ‘Building Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health’ (RSSH) that aims at integrating health system strengthening measures into the funding requests of the partner countries.
In collaboration with the GF, Expertise France L'Initiative and FCDO, BACKUP has launched a new initiative that aims at improving the impact of the GF's RSSH investments on HIV, TB, malaria and other primary healthcare services by strengthening country stakeholders' technical, programmatic and operational capacities in RSSH, including community health services.
The current initiative will build on a previous project in which training materials to support partners in identifying and prioritizing RSSH investments to address needs across the three diseases have been developed. As part of this previous project, two regional RSSH workshops were conducted in cooperation with the GF, one in Nairobi in January 2020 and one in Cape Town in March 2020. As the workshops were well received by the partners as well as the Country Teams in the GF Grant Management Department, the contractor of this tender will be required to draw from and make use of insights from the materials and lessons learnt from that project. Furthermore, the contractor should build on country experiences with respect to the implementation of GF RSSH grants.
In close cooperation with the GF, Expertise France L'Initiative, FCDO and Backup, the contractor is expected to develop the training material and technical content for priority technical topics listed under Work Package 1 below, to be delivered through 4 regional workshops (in French and English). Furthermore, the trainings will be conceptualized in two formats, both as a face-to-face training and as a virtual training. The workshop design should allow adaptation to regional and country specific context, build on country experiences and on local knowledge on RSSH.
The contractor will also be responsible for convening and conducting at least 4 out of 8 regional capacity building workshops in 2 regions (Anglophone and Francophone Africa, 2 thematic workshops each), as well as up to 30 virtual country-specific capacity building workshops (8-10 countries x 3 virtual country-specific workshops for each). The virtual country-specific workshops will be open to additional participants besides the country delegations participating in the regional workshops.
The contractor should be aware of the fact that additional services, similar to those described under the scope of this tender, may be contracted by the Global Fund. The Global Fund will discuss with the selected vendor the scope and the number of additional workshops, and the end-of-project conference, to be convened under the separate contract.
Each regional workshop will focus on specific thematic topics, so that by completing the full set of workshops, participants will have developed a solid understanding of the full range of RSSH themes as critical enablers for maximizing health impact.
In addition to receiving training on RSSH through the regional workshops, each participating country delegation will also implement a capstone project on a strategic objective which they will select based on their country-specific priorities. Each country team will work on the capstone project throughout the life cycle of this initiative, (which is also the timeframe for the Global Fund's NFM-3 cycle) and will apply the knowledge gained at the RSSH workshops for implementing the capstone projects. Country delegations should have the opportunity to exchange on the progress of their capstone projects during the workshops, however the contractor is not expected to provide TA to the capstone projects beyond the workshop setting.
8-10 participating countries will be selected by BACKUP Health, GF, L'Initiative and FCDO from the preliminary long-list below:
Anglophone: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe
Francophone: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote D´Ivoire, DR Congo, Guinea, Togo, Mali, Niger, RCA
Lusophone: Mozambique
For developing a sustainable impact, ensuring continuous training and enabling cross-border knowledge exchange, this project will establish North-South partnerships with two academic institutions in anglophone and francophone Africa and initiate a South-South learning approach in the regional trainings. The contractor should thus have a track-record of collaborating with academic institutions across anglophone and francophone Africa, in order to utilize such an established network of cooperation for strengthening and scaling-up regional RSSH capacity building hubs. More specifically, in each region (anglophone and francophone Africa) the initiative will help establish a partnership between two universities, where the university from the global North will serve as mentor, and the university from the global South will be the beneficiary to acquire necessary skills and competencies for preparing and convening RSSH capacity building workshops.
