Development of a multi-stakeholder information and monitoring system for the Nigerian Evidence-based Health Systems Initiative (NEHSI) - Call for full proposals: IDRC, CIDA, and NEHSI
Submission deadline: 3 February 2006
Summary: The International Development Research Centre invites proposals from teams interested in developing and establishing a multi-stakeholder information and monitoring system in two states in Nigeria: Bauchi and Cross River. This call for proposals is part of the planning phase for a proposed multi-year CA $15 million IDRC-CIDA collaborative initiative to support an evidence-based primary health system in Nigeria, the Nigerian Evidence-based Health Systems Initiative (NEHSI). This planning phase consists of a number of initiatives to provide baseline evidence, build local ownership and collaborative relationships among Nigerian stakeholders, and begin to strengthen capacity for the implementation phase.
This one time grant is for a maximum of CA$210,000 to establish a state-level baseline of key indicators and develop a proposal for the implementation of a multi-stakeholder information and monitoring system in Bauchi and Cross River, Nigeria. The work must be initiated in March 2006 and completed by September 2006. Successful applicants, after a review process of their implementation proposal for a multi-stakeholder information and monitoring system, may be invited to continue with the implementation for a five-year period.
The NEHSI envisions that all key stakeholders (individuals and institutions) at federal, state and local levels progressively, understand, contribute to, and use a health information system that provides a neutral, transparent and reliable resource and platform for diverse stakeholders to participate in evidence-based planning, implementation and monitoring towards a more a fair, effective and efficient primary health care system.
Deadline for applications is 3 February 2006.
