Technical Assistance Support for Scaling Up CSO HIV/AIDS Prevention Intervention…
Government of Botswana National AIDS Coordinating Agency Request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) Project ID: P102299- Technical Assistance Support for Scaling Up CSO HIV/AIDS Prevention Interventions ____________________________________________________________________________________ This requestfor expressions of interest follows the General Procurement Notice for this project that appeared in dgMarket on July 6, 2011 The Government of Botswana has received financing from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) towards the cost of Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds to engage an NGO or consulting firmto provide to provide Technical Support to strengthen CSO Technical Planning and Execution of Prioritized HIV/AIDS Prevention Intervention. Applications are invited from applicants who have a proven track record in providing similar technical support. Introduction: The BotswanaNational AIDS Prevention Support (BNAPS) Project is a collaborative effort between the Government of Botswana and the World Bank/International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). The Project focuses on streamlining and strengthening the ability of key HIV and AIDS interventions to deliver important outputs, outcomes and impacts. A key achievement of this Project will be the development of a Performance Based Financing system that enhances the Project's ability to deliver high volume, high quality, cost-effective (value-for-money) and verifiable HIV and AIDS prevention interventions. As the project progresses, one key lesson learned has been the need to balance NACA's coordination mandate with the increased technical and implementation support demands from BNAPS funded CSOs. Technical quality assurance, capacity building and fiduciary oversight of CSO interventions require significant technical staff support to 55 CSOs funded under Call for Proposal (CfP# 3). Expanded technical support to CSOs is critical to achieve improved HIV/AIDS prevention outcomes. In order not to compromise the quality of technical support to CSOs during the scaled-up implementation period, NACA wishes to engage CSOs with a demonstrated track record and specialized expertise in HIV/AIDS prevention with a focus on the prioritized areas of focus (generating demand for SMC services and increasing coverage and quality of MCP interventions). To enable continued hand-holding and to respond adequately to technical and implementation support needs during the expanded phase of BNAPS, NACA wishes engage an NGO or consulting firm with reputable experience and a strong and results oriented proposal to support implementation by CSO partners. Objective: The Technical Assistance will seek to Strengthen CSOs technical, implementation approach and roll-out of MCP interventions at community level and, as needed, provide technical support to CSOs implementing demand creation interventions to stimulate uptake of safe male circumcision interventions in the 16 high volume sites established by the Ministry of Health. Scope of Services The main task to be performed under this assignment is to provide Technical Support to strengthen technical planning and execution of prioritized HIV/AIDS prevention intervention. These will entail: (i) Technical support to strengthen technical design, planning and execution of prioritized CSO implementers' HIV/AIDS Prevention Interventions; (ii) support materials development and dissemination of national HIV/AIDS materials to strengthen behavior change particularly on multiple and concurrent partnerships; (iii) provide support to improve planning and where needed execution of specific campaigns and interventions; (iv) Provide technical training support for peer educators and key staff in CSOs funded by NACA to strengthen quality of HIV/AIDS prevention services offered to communities; (v) Support development of technical data collection instruments and where needed data analysis by CSOs; and (vii) Support NACA at national level in technical reporting on CSO technical interventions as requested. Key staff required for this assignment includes Public Health Specialist and Behavioral Specialist. Duration of Assignment: The performance period of the Technical Assistance will be 5 months limited to between 01 April 2013 and September 30, 2013. All technical and administrative undertaking should therefore be concluded within this time period.

EXTERNAL RESULTS VERIFICATION - IMPLEMENTATION LEVEL
Government of Botswana National AIDS Coordinating Agency Request for Expressions of Interest (EOI) Project ID: P102299- "Consultancy to Undertake External Results Verification of the Implementation Level of the Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support Project" ____________________________________________________________________________________ This request for expressions of interest follows the General Procurement Notice for this project that appeared in dgMarket on July 6, 2011 The Government of Botswana has received financing from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) towards the cost of Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds to engage a consultancy firm toUndertake External Results Verification of the Implementation Level. Introduction: The Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support (BNAPS) Project is a collaborative effort between the Government of Botswana and the World Bank/International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). The Project focuses on streamlining and strengthening the ability of key HIV and AIDS interventions to deliver important outputs, outcomes and impacts. A key achievement of this Project will be the development of a Performance Based Financing system that enhances the Project's abilityto deliver high volume, high quality, cost-effective (value-for-money) and verifiable HIV and AIDS prevention interventions. NACA, in collaboration with the World Bank is in the process of identifying potential consulting firms for the "Consultancy to Undertake External Results Verification of the Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support Project at Implementation Level". Background: In view of deep-rooted human development challenges associated with the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Botswana, particularly the continued spread of HIV and the costs of preventing and treating the disease, the Government of Botswana requested assistance from the IBRD. This assistance was structured as the BNAPS Project, which was approved on July 10, 2008 and became effective on June 30, 2009. In its current design, theBNAPS Project is scheduled to close on September 30, 2013, with some possibility of an extension beyond 2013. The Project was conceived with three core components, namely: a) Component One Support to NACA; b) Component Two Public Sector Ministries; and c) Component Three Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)/Private Sector. Component three is where the bulk of project implementation takes place. As a result, it was allocated the majority of the Projectfunds, essentially reflecting the importance of the CSOs in HIV and AIDS prevention and ultimately the achievement of Project objectives. In this component, through a Call for Proposal Mechanism, the BNAPS Project makes financial resources available to civil society and the private sector, focusing on initiatives in line with the National Strategic Framework (2010-2016). The resources are provided in exchange for the delivery by CSOs of key HIV and AIDS interventions that have been agreed upon in the Project, namely Safe Male Circumcision (SMC) and Multiple Concurrent [Sexual] Partnerships (MCP), amongst others. Within this setup, the service providers self-report to NACA on their performance in meeting the pre-agreed services delivery targets. With various systemic time delays since the Project's inception, the project team is now focusing on the urgent need for a stronger and more strategic approach to BNAPS implementation and the programmatic means by which this could be achieved. The Project is keen to build up on the learning from the past years of implementation as well as from experiences from elsewhere. It is envisioned that some catalytic programmatic operations could be added to the Project, towards enhancing in performance in the last 18 months of its current design. Implementation level of the project, external verification of the self-reported performance of CSOs and the private sector in relation to meeting their agreed services delivery targets has been identified as apossible programmatic catalyst for enhancing performance. External verification will strengthen accountability for financial resources and technical outputs by implementers. In addition, the Government will beassured of value for money through objectively verified evidence of performance and achievement of HIV and AIDS prevention indicators by service providers. Objectives: The envisaged consultancy seeks to apply a system of independent or external verification to grand-aided service providers at the implementation level of the BNAPS Project. The verification will seek to: • Determine the accuracy and completeness of the self-reported performance data of CSOs and the private sector on HIV and AIDS service delivery outputs and outcomes. • Establish the quality of HIV and AIDS services delivered by the CSOs and the private sector. External Verification Methodology: The consultant will be expected to undertake the consultancy in accordance with, but not limited to, a standard external verification framework. The exercise will be expected to be undertaken in at least four separate verification cycles, covering district level coordinators, service providers, beneficiaries and other stakeholders at the district level, as will be further guided by the standard external verificationframework. Duration of Consultancy: The performance period of the "Consultancy to Undertake External Verification of the Botswana National AIDS Prevention Support Project at Implementation Level" shall be limited to between 01 July 2012 and September 30, 2013. All technical and administrative undertakingshould therefore be concluded within this time period. NACA now invites eligible consultancy firms to indicate their interest in providing the services. Interested consultancy firms must provideinformation indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments in HIV and AIDS prevention and impact mitigation and public health programs, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.).
