RFP No. SOL-687-14-000006 Amendment 02

1) Section C.6.2 DATA COLLECTION, sub-section 2 is amended to read:

“2. Direct Observation and Standard Comparison: CHVs will be observed performing child and FP/RH assessments. Child assessments will include diagnosis or disease classification, treatment decisions and referral tasks and counseling. FP/RH assessments will include client interview for FP history, risk profile, counseling on side-effects, identification of barriers and problem solving with unmet need clients, sharing of information on all methods, communication. The goal is to evaluate the CHVs ability to diagnose disease, identify danger signs, and treat, refer and counsel appropriately as requires. The Contractor will compare the observed assessment with the gold standard assessment and case management by an independent trained expert and by the CSB Chief to determine how well CHVs perform.

CHVs will be evaluated in primary healthcare center that serve their commune. This will enable the observation of multiple encounters between the selected CHV and CU5 as well as CHV and women arriving for consultation at the health facility. The contractor shall hire expert observers and gold standard evaluators, which must be trained for the evaluation and convene with the CSB Chief to treat the client. The Consultant shall ensure that the expert observer and the gold standard evaluator do not know the CHV that they will be evaluating.

The Contractor shall use tablet computers to collect data. USAID will NOT provide this equipment. The goal is to ensure high quality and effective monitoring of data collection, and to reduce the time spent on data entry, processing, and analysis. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to train its staff on the proper use of the equipment.”

2) In the section ‘C.6.4.3 Day 1 at health facility’, the following statement is added as the second bullet:

“Request agreement from the CSB Chief to treat selected sick children”

3) In the section ‘C.6.4.6 If the child complies with the inclusion criteria and the parent/caretaker signed the consent form’, the following statement is added as the fourth bullet:

“Then, the child assessed by the IMCI expert is taken to the CSB Chief for a third evaluation”

4) Section ‘C.6.4.6 If the child complies with the inclusion criteria and the parent/caretaker signed the consent form’, last bullet is amended to read:

“Once a child has undergone both the CHV and gold standard assessments and the CSB Chief assessment, a team member will coordinate the child’s care with one of the health facility staff to expedite any necessary lab work, diagnostic tests, referrals or medication administration.”
