Impact Malaria (IM) is US President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), global service delivery project to reduce malaria mortality and morbidity, and efficiently and effectively move countries forward along the malaria elimination spectrum. The project, set to be implemented in Ghana, will contribute to the country’s National Malaria Control Strategic Plan 2014-2020 and beyond. The project will operate over a five-year period. Job Description Project Summary In August 2013, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded funding to Jhpiego to serve as a technical partner to Project Fives Alive! (PFA) in Ghana. The goal of PFA is to reduce child mortality by implementing quality improvement approaches aimed at the performance of frontline health workers. Jhpiego’s role, through the Accelerating Newborn Survival (ANS) project, is to support the Ghana Health Service (GHS) to improve the technical competency of health workers who provide essential maternal and newborn care, with the ultimate aim of reducing newborn mortality and fresh stillbirths in 56 health facilities in four regions (Upper West, Central, Western and Greater Accra). To do this, Jhpiego is implementing its innovative low-dose high-frequency (LDHF) training approach, which splits the traditional, two-week hotel-based basic emergency obstetric and newborn care training package into shorter, facility-based trainings. Master mentors are selected from each region and serve as trainers and mentors for other midwives throughout their respective regions. A peer practice coordinator leads and delivers smaller practice sessions following the training on-site with their colleagues in the maternity and newborn wards. The ANS project is now in its 2nd year of implementation. The project is planning qualitative research to provide insight into the successes and challenges experienced thus far. Interviews and focus group discussions will be conducted with project beneficiaries and Ghana Health Service decision-makers. Position Summary Jhpiego seeks two temporary consultants to serve in the role of qualitative researchers. The consultancy will be for a period of approximately 1 month, full-time. The consultant will assist with a variety of activities for the qualitative field work including:
