Background of the project 

The IRC is leading an operational research project in DRC and Sierra Leone to strengthen overall IPC resilience.  The project aims to support Ministries of Health to implement sustainable IPC practices through the integration of systems-strengthening elements into IPC tools. We will use a two-pronged approach by improving facility and community-based IPC as well as supporting existing health accountability structures (i.e. community health committees, health facility management committees and quality improvement teams) in monitoring and managing facilities. There will be a descriptive study to document the process and effect of the system strengthening approach. 

The research is being led by the IRC’s Health Unit.  The is a staffing gap for the project and so there is a need to hire a consultant to support few steps in the research process. The consultant will support the finalization of the research protocol, development of data collection tools, remote training of enumerators in DRC and Sierra Leone on the tools, and development of an analysis plan.

4.       Develop analysis plan

Deliverables:
