CALL FOR CONSULTANCY
Final Evaluation – SOGC Component Power to Choose Program – Ghana
Background
The Power to Choose program is a multi-country Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) initiative led by Oxfam and funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC). The program aims to strengthen access to inclusive, rights-based SRHR services for adolescents and young women.
In Ghana, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) works in partnership with the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Ghana (SOGOG) and Oxfam Ghana to strengthen the capacity of health care providers and professional institutions through training, mentoring, leadership development, and organizational capacity strengthening.
SOGC is seeking a local (national) consultant to conduct the final evaluation of its contribution to the Power to Choose program in Ghana.
Purpose of the Evaluation
The evaluation will assess:
- Learning and skills development among health care providers and instructors;
- Application of learning in clinical, mentoring, and leadership practice;
- Early institutional and professional results, including sustainability under SOGOG leadership.
The evaluation will focus on plausible contribution, not population level health outcomes.
Methodological Approach
The evaluation will adopt a qualitative dominant mixed-methods, participatory, and gender responsive approach. We suggest using the Kirkpatrick Model of Training Evaluation but are open to other suggested analytical frameworks.
The methodology will combine:
- Qualitative data (focus group discussions, interviews), and
- Desk review of Quantitative data generated through training and mentoring activities, including pre and post test scores and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).
Data collection will include:
- Document review (training, mentoring, governance, and strategic documents);
- Focus group discussions with Ghanaian health care providers;
Key informant interviews with key stakeholders (Ministry of Health, health facility administrators, SOGOG leadership, technical consultants and Oxfam Ghana; SOGOG and SOGC instructors).
No new tests or assessments will be administered as part of the evaluation.
Duration of the Assignment
- Approximate duration: 3 months
- Estimated level of effort: 25 working days
Expected Deliverables
- Inception report
- Draft and final evaluation reports
- Executive summary
- PowerPoint presentation of findings and recommendations
