Malaria Consortium is an international non-profit organization based in Cambridge Heath, London, specializing in the comprehensive control of malaria and other communicable diseases, particularly those affecting children under five.

They provide technical assistance and support to various regions, including efforts in Niger State, Nigeria, to implement community-based health initiatives.

Description:

Evaluation Approach and Framework:

• This qualitative evaluation will adopt an implementation research approach grounded in structured frameworks to understand how the Perennial Malaria Chemoprevention (PMC) intervention is delivered, perceived, and sustained within the Osun State context.
• The evaluation draws on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to explore multiple domains across different levels of the health system, while also integrating constructs from the Implementation Outcomes Framework (IOF) and the PIET-T model to assess the potential for adaptation, effectiveness, and broader transferability. +
• Together, these constructs form the analytical foundation for the evaluation, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both the operational performance of PMC and the broader systemic factors that influence its implementation and future scale-up.
• This would guide tool development, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.

Scope of work:

• The study will involve in-depth interviews (key informant), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Case studies interviews.
• The target participants are caregivers, stakeholders, healthcare workers and health administrators in the selected health facilities, communities and the catchment population at the state level. Eight (8) Local Government Areas in Osun State will be selected for the study – Ayedaade, Ede South, Atakunmosa West, Iwo, Irewole, Ife North, Obokun and Egbedore.
• The study will also cover stakeholders at the federal level to gain insights into their perspective of PMC operational feasibility, policy adoption and scale-up.
• The results will provide evidence to support PMC scale up in Nigeria The scope of this evaluation also covers end-to-end management of the qualitative evaluation, including evaluation design, finalization of tools, training, data collection, field coordination, data analysis, reporting and dissemination.
