81322746-Technical Assistance for integrated health systems in the context of global health financing

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

BACKUP Health is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The programme forms part of Germany"s contribution to strengthening the global health architecture and supports the effective and sustainable use of funds from global health financing mechanisms, particularly the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Many low- and middle-income countries remain dependent on international health financing to provide essential services. Declining global health budgets and fragmented funding structures place additional pressure on national systems to use available resources more efficiently and to integrate externally financed measures into domestic health and financing frameworks. BACKUP Health supports governments and key actors in addressing these challenges by improving the coordination between global and national processes and by strengthening systemic capacities for planning, governance and implementation. The programme aims to improve the efficiency of globally financed health services and products, particularly for HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria (HTM). BACKUP Health works in close collaboration with ministries of health and finance, national coordination mechanisms, civil society organisations, and regional actors, particularly in countries in Africa and Central Asia. It promotes gender equality, human rights, and the inclusion of vulnerable and marginalised groups as cross-cutting priorities. With this tender, BACKUP Health calls for assistance in the swift formulation and/or management of technical assistance (TA) assignments in countries eligible to BACKUP Health support. Technical assistance assignments may cover activities such as - Advisory support on sustainable health financing and governance, including domestic resource mobilisation, public financial management, and alignment of Global Fund and other external resources with national systems, - Technical support for integrating HIV, TB and malaria (HTM) services into broader, people-centred health systems through cross-programmatic collaboration and strengthened service delivery, - Support for building local and regional capacities for health product manufacturing, regulation, and market development. BACKUP Health will forward TA requests to the contractor, who shall then identify, hire and deploy suitable experts to provide the requested services across the three support areas mentioned above. The contractor"s overall objective is to assist BACKUP Health in the provision of support to eligible countries through the timely deployment and management of experts.
