The MSF Stockholm Evaluation Unit (SEU), based in Sweden, is one of three MSF units tasked to manage and guide evaluations of MSF’s operational projects, and works primarily with Operational Centre Brussels (OCB).
The SEU is now requesting proposals to conduct an evaluation of the Basic Healthcare project for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Miners, Gwanda, Zimbabwe.
The Basic Healthcare Project for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Miners, implemented by MSF-OCB (Belgium), is designed to run for a total of 3 to 5 years, starting from its inception in December 2023. Its main objective is to contribute to reducing morbidity and mortality among the most vulnerable populations, including artisanal and small-scale miners, sex workers, and surrounding communities in Gwanda District. The project is designed around 5 pillars:
(1) Basic health care (HIV, TB, Silicosis, SRH, Mental Health and STI’s),
(2) Community outreach activities on mobilization and health promotion,
(3) Water and Sanitation activities targeting environmental health issues,
(4) Advocacy, health policy, research activities, and
(5) Emergency preparedness planning.
The purpose of this formative evaluation is to reach insights into the appropriateness and effectiveness of each project’s component so far and identify inefficiencies in its implementation. The evaluation should provide a detailed description of the project with a specific focus on the healthcare service delivery (model of care) as per now implemented, assess sustainability of the current project strategic design and suggest possible improvements.
