Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Terms of Reference for a Consultancy: Regional Knowledge Management Strategy

The SADC Malaria Elimination Eight Regional Initiative (E8) is a coalition of eight countries; Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, working across national borders to eliminate malaria in the sub-region by 2030. The E8 was formed in 2009 and is led by the Ministers of Health in eight SADC countries with a mandate to plan, coordinate, and execute a regional malaria elimination strategy. As the malaria response arm of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), the E8 is pioneering an ambitious regional approach and driving collective action to end this deadly disease once and for all. Guided by the belief that countries are stronger when they work together, the E8 is building a model that will inform coordinated efforts in Southern Africa and beyond. Within the E8, member countries collaborate to address challenges that go beyond the scope or mandate of any one country, such as those associated with access to services for mobile and migrant populations, surveillance across connected malaria catchment areas in different countries, and pooling of specialized skills. The E8 Ministerial Committee is supported by a Technical Committee, and a Secretariat based in Windhoek, Namibia.

Vision, Goal and Strategic Objectives of the E8 Vision:

To have a malaria - free southern Africa

Goal: To enable and accelerate zero local transmission in the E8 region by 2030 through the provision of a platform for collaboration and strategic programming.

2.Purpose

Several factors and capacity constraints limit the ability to achieve and sustain malaria elimination in the E8 region. These challenges include population mobility, border protocols, surveillance, quality assurance, knowledge management, human capacity and skills, and financing.

As new strategies on malaria elimination become available, there is a need for information and knowledge management systems and platforms for making practical guidance available to the countries. Given the need for a coordinated and harmonised approach to regional elimination, common information and knowledge management systems that promote learning and sharing become even more critical to support this work.
