Invitation to Tender (Procurement) - Development of a ‘Global Breast Cancer Training Package’ for primary care health workers

Location:

No specific location - Support to THET's Zambia and Uganda country programmes

Key Responsibilities:

Project Overview

With the support of Sanofi, THET aims to address barriers to quality, timely and effective breast cancer care through a model of decentralisation that can be initially implemented in Zambia and Uganda, and then rolled out to other LMICs. Our decentralisation model involves addressing a series of breast cancer care components such as screening, diagnosis and referral, where appropriate, from highly specialised health professionals, such as surgeons and doctors in tertiary health facilities, to less specialised health professionals at the primary and community level3. By training health professionals at the primary level in breast cancer care, patients will be more likely to receive timely diagnosis and treatment, and oncology specialists in cities will have more time to dedicate to complex cases. Additionally, increased community awareness of breast cancer and the importance of screening and self-examination will minimise the number of cases that are presented late. This model will contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality for women with breast cancer, improving the survival rate after five years.

This project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase will involve the development of a standard global training package for breast cancer care designed for primary and community health workers, with input from key institutions in Zambia, Uganda and globally. The second phase will roll this training out across the two countries through a variety of implementation methods, adapting the content to local contexts and to various cadres.

Project Objectives

To develop a global breast cancer training package for Primary and Community Health Workers.

To support the MoH to decentralise breast cancer care by increasing HWs knowledge and skill in breast cancer awareness raising, diagnosis, and management, at the primary and community level.

To support the MoH in improving the quality of services at primary and community health level through supportive supervision and mentorship.

Scope of Work

For the successful implementation of Phase I, THET seeks a technical partner over a period of 18 months. The technical partner is expected to have a health education background and a proven track record in developing educational resources for healthcare professionals.

Key deliverables expected for a technical partner include:

Development of a Global Cancer Training Package for Primary and Community Health Workers. The package shall include a full curriculum, training guidance and manuals, skill assessments etc.

Conduct desk research, stakeholder mapping and facilitate collaborative discussions with experts in the region to ensure the training materials are of high quality, relevance and aligned with international/national standards. The Global Breast Cancer Training Package should be adaptable to different LMIC contexts.

Support the Uganda Cancer Disease Institute and the Zambia Cancer Hospital to adapt and contextualize the breast cancer training package.

In collaboration with THET in-house experts, adapt the training content for a user-friendly online tool.

Develop robust mentorship and monitoring tools for the Master Trainers and Ministries of Health. This should include guidance on mentorship, how to conduct effective monitoring visits and relevant tools such as facility/area action plans.

Facilitate the first Master Training and continue to support the master trainers as they cascade the training until contract closure.

Collaborate with THET and Sanofi to establish a monitoring and evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of training impact.

Quarterly narrative and budget reporting to THET.
