Consultancy services for Developing the Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Materials for the MFT Deployment in Rwanda

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is supporting the Rwanda Biomedical Center through its Malaria and Other Parasitic Diseases Division (RBC/MOPDD) to initiate the Multiple First-line Treatments (MFT) as one of the mitigation and response to antimalarial drug resistance. The MFT deployment plan in Rwanda will rely on the annual rotation of 3 different parallel first-line treatments in three blocks. During this deployment design, patients in the same block will receive one treatment option at all levels of service provision (Public and Private Health Facilities as well as community level) for a specific period and will alternate for another determined time.

To achieve adequate adherence to the new protocol and the efficacy of the strategy, given the context of non-harmonized treatment options, effective Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) is paramount at all levels of the health system. To support the Rwanda malaria program in developing the needed SBCC materials, CHAI is hiring a contractor to develop the SBCC materials and the communication plan that will support MFT deployment across the country.
