- Request for proposals are invited for Lead Care Reform Consultant - Ghana. Lead Care Reform Consultant - Ghana Scope of Work Period of Performance: September - December 2020 Contract Type: Time & Materials Location: Accra, Ghana Reports to: Innovation Director, Pact Expected LOE: 23 days About Pact: Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow for communities challenged by poverty and marginalization. We serve these communities because we envision a world where everyone owns their future. To do this, we build systemic solutions in partnership with local organizations, businesses, and governments that create sustainable and resilient communities where those we serve are heard, capable, and vibrant. On the ground in nearly 40 countries, Pact-s integrated adaptive approach is shaping the future of international development. Background USAID-s assistance to Ghana-s Care Reform Initiative aims to help the Government of Ghana to strengthen its social welfare workforce, formalize the alternative care system, develop structures to prevent family separation, and strengthen community institutions to protect children and engage more with social welfare. Under this initiative, USAID/Ghana seeks participants to co-design scalable and sustainable approaches that enable children to grow up in safe, permanent families who can ensure their well-being. Pact has been chosen to lead a participatory co-creation event that engages stakeholders across the public and private social service sectors to collaboratively design quality and immediately actionable interventions that can be sustained within the existing country context. Through this event, USAID aims to collaborate with national stakeholders and potential partners to identify the most critical barriers to care reform, solutions, and potential financing that could address care reform challenges; and inform future USAID investments. The event will use a human-centered design approach to stimulate solutions that involve the human perspective throughout the problem-solving process. Summary of Role: Pact is seeking a team of local consultants (2 care reform consultants and 2 humancentered design consultants) to assist with this project. While we will evaluate each candidate for the position requirements, we will also give preference to consultants who have experience working together previously as the consultant team will work closely together. (Please see the other job descriptions for more details of all roles on the consultant team.) For this position, the lead care reform consultant will lead the scoping, mapping and qualitative research to inform the design of the co-creation event. The consultant will also support the execution of the event and the development of the concept notes (though these activities will be led by the 2 human-centered design consultants). The consultant will work for a period of performance up to 23 days- LOE starting on September 15, 2020. Reporting to Pact-s Innovation Director, the consultant will be responsible for: 1. Conducting stakeholder analysis and systems mapping to advise Pact in identifying the most critical in-country stakeholders to participate in a virtual cocreation event in late 2020; 2. Consulting key in-country stakeholders to inform the design of the co-creation event, which will include refinement of the challenge statements, as needed; develop the co-creation event structure; and design of facilitation approaches; 3. Share and discuss with Pact, USAID and the Government of Ghana the findings from the background research, stakeholder mapping and in-country consultations to facilitate collective decision-making on the co-creation event design.
