Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Policy Analysis and Technical Backstopping to Augment Indias Pandemic Preparedness and Response (PPR) Agenda. There are four broad challenges to enhance Indias Pandemic Preparedness and Response (PPR) capacity envisaged by the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM) initiative. First, criticality of elevating PPR agenda in Indias political landscape while ensuing effective cross-sector One Health coordination at all levels. Second, systematically creating competent human resources with clear career path for professional growth and enabling organizational structures for effectively delivering Indias huge PPR commitments relevant for Indias devolved health systems. Third, optimizing PPP information platforms to deliver Indias commitment for creating digital ecosystems to generate real-time credible surveillance data and alerts ensuring accountability for decision making and action. Fourth, identifying innovative models to enhance private sector participation as full partners in different dimensions of PPR. The World Bank financed Transforming Public Health Systems for Pandemic Preparedness (PHSSP) is incentivizing a shift towards addressing these challenges through effective use of Program for Results lending instrument which disburses upon achievement of identified Disbursement Linked Indicators. Such paradigm shift requires appropriate high-level analytical support and strategic advice for Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to identify strategic options and guide timely actions towards addressing these challenges. It is proposed to engage a consultant agency to undertake a high-quality analytical piece of work to create an overarching framework to inform critical policy and strategic decisions of the government. The key objective of this task is to provide analytical inputs to the World Bank for its policy dialogue and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India for strengthening PPR. The just in time analytical work will help to develop a strategic framework and options to address some of the challenges heighted above through relevant policies and strategies to augment Indias PPP agenda as envisaged by the PM-ABHIM. Key tasks of this exercise will include a) benchmark current high-level decision-making processes and institutional structures for Indias PPR and suggest options for elevating the level of political decision making; b) review existing coordination structures for One Health and suggest measures for its optimal functioning including measures for effective cooperation and coordination with states and existing mechanisms for zoonotic disease surveillance and anti-microbial resistance monitoring; c) undertake HR needs and gap assessment at the national level and in a select set of states and suggest options for building critical applied epidemiological capacities at district, state, and national levels with appropriate incentives and options for career growth. d) suggest strategies for optimizing current IHIP digital platform for disease surveillance including simplification and integration with value proposition. e) propose innovative public private partnership models for enhanced engagement of different segments of private sector in disease surveillance and response including enhancing role of private sector in improving access to diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines for emerging and remerging pathogens. Key outputs from this exercise will include a) a draft report summarizing the finding and recommendations covering identified specific tasks b) a dissemination event to brief key findings to stakeholders including senior policy makers, program managers, technical partners and private sector.
