REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) FOR PREQUALIFICATION OF CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO ASSESS SOS HEALTH AND EDUCATION FACILITIES WITHIN EASTERN & SOUTHERN AFRICA REGION (ESAF)

1. Background

SOS Children’s Villages International is the umbrella organization for over 130 SOS Children’s Villages associations worldwide. As a non-governmental social development organization, we support children without parental care and those at risk of losing parental care in collaboration with their families, communities and respective governments.

Health and Education services have always featured strongly within the SOS Children’s Village programme. Historically, SOS health and education (H&E) facilities were built wherever SOS Children’s Villages were constructed. Sometimes these services were simply non-existent whereas in some cases, the existing ones were poor in nature.

SOS Children’s Village Programmes has over the years grown in geographical scope, beyond the borders of the work with SOS families, reaching additional children in more communities, particularly through family strengthening. As a result, it is no longer possible to effectively address the health and education needs of all of the children participating in our programmes through direct service provision via SOS Health and Education (H&E) facilities alone. Along with the adoption of the human rights-based approach as a guiding principle in SOS Children’s Villages’ work, the scope of continuing to run H&E facilities seems unsuitable and unsustainable in the long run.

1. Invitation for Proposals

SOS Children Villages International now invites eligible consultants to submit technical and financial proposal for the provision of the consultancy services to conduct comprehensive assessment of Health and Education facilities within Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAF)

1. Rationale for the Assessment of SOS Health & Education Facilities

At present, some of our SOS H&E facilities are supporting children (and/or their care-givers) participating in the programme to access quality H&E through direct service provision. In this way, they are seen to be supporting the ‘core’ of our work. However, in other contexts our facilities do not reach the intended target group in family based care (FBC) or family strengthening (FS).

1. Purpose

The overarching purpose of this consultancy is to assess whether existing SOS H&E facilities are still able to make a significant contribution to the ‘core’ of our work, now or in the foreseeable future, and which would be better to ‘let go’. Where facilities are contributing to our ‘core’ and we are ‘best placed’ to operate them, we may choose to continue to do so, if it is done in a cost effective way. Where they are not, other stakeholders who are best placed to offer such services to the community should assume this responsibility while we let go of our facility. In this way, we can focus on the ‘core’ of our work and direct / redirect our limited resources to maximise the impact on our (core) target group.

1. Terms of Reference(TORS)

The overall objective of the assessment is: To collect, analyse and objectively make recommendations that will enable mandated stakeholders to make informed decisions on the way forward with specific health or education facilities within MAs in ESAF. Specific objectives are:

1.

2. 
   

   Specific objective 2: To assess the relevance of the health or education SOS Villages provides to our target group.

   
   


3.

4.

8.

9.

10.

14. 
    

    Assess the financial sustainability of the facility.
