Tender Details
Tenders are invited for Consultancy Service to Develop an Accountability Framework for the Carmma Campaign.
1.0 Background
The Campaign on Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa (CARMMA) is a
major initiative of the African Union Commission (AUC) aimed at promoting and
advocating for renewed and intensified implementation of the Maputo Plan of Action for
reduction of maternal, newborn and child mortality in the Africa region. The Campaign
was launched in May 2009 under the theme: “Africa Cares: No Woman should Die while
Giving Life”.
The campaign’s vision is to build on existing efforts to improve maternal, newborn and
child health across Africa – particularly by sharing best practice; generating and sharing
data on maternal, newborn and child health; advocating for increased political
commitment and mobilizing domestic resources in support of maternal, newborn and child
health as well as communicating with the wider African public and inspiring action.
The campaign mission is to accelerate actions across Africa to reduce maternal, newborn
and child mortality. The campaign is anchored on three main priorities namely positive
messaging, sharing good practices and lessons learned, and intensification of program
and communication activities aimed at reducing maternal, newborn and child mortality in
Africa.
1.1 Evaluation of the CARMMA Campaign
The Campaign on Accelerated Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Africa has been
implemented in AU member states since 2009. The evaluation that was conducted in
2018 sought to determine the relevance/appropriateness, effectiveness, efficiency, impact
and sustainability of the campaign. In addition the evaluation was also intended to
determine how the campaign should move forward in the context of Agenda 2063,
Agenda 2030, UN Secretary-General’s Global Strategy on Women’s, Children’s and
Adolescents’ Health and other global initiatives on maternal, newborn, child and
adolescent health.
The major recommendation of the evaluation is for the Commission to put in place an
accountability mechanism to track progress of the campaign implementation with a view
to identifying the levels at which key indicators/ parameters are measured against the
ideal levels/best practice or international standards. This will provide both qualitative and
quantitative information of the indicators. The framework will be rolled out to countries to
assist in monitoring implementation of the campaign.
