Purpose of the Consultancy **

The MSP project has been implemented for 51.5 months in phase 1 (15.09.2017 - 31.12.2020) and phase 2 (01.01.2021 - 31.12.2021) by the MSP core team of MI, Amref Health Africa and Kenya Healthcare Federation (KHF). This end of project evaluation focuses on the entire implementation period. The evaluation is forward looking and will capture effectively experiences and lessons learnt and provide information on the nature, extent and where possible, the potential impact and sustainability of the MSP project.

The evaluation will assess the project design, scope, implementation status and the capacity to achieve the project objectives. It will collate and analyze lessons learnt, challenges faced and best practices obtained during implementation which will inform the programming strategy for subsequent MSP initiatives. The emphasis on learning lessons speaks to the issue of understanding what has and what has not worked as a guide for future planning.

The evaluation will assess the performance of the project against planned results. It will assess the preliminary indications of potential impact and sustainability of results including the contribution to improved health services in Kenya by supporting the MAP dialogue structures to optimize the training and deployment of selected specialized health professions. The results of the evaluation will draw lessons that will inform the key stakeholders of this evaluation who are the Ministry of Health, Associations (AMRO, CHESOA, KCEMT) and Learning Institutions (Masinde Mulilro University, KMTC). The evaluation will generate knowledge from the implementation of the MSP project by the various implementing partners (Amref Health Africa and Kenya Healthcare Federation) and reflect on challenges; lessons learnt and propose actionable recommendations for future programming and sustainability.
