1) Call for Full Proposals: Development of a multi-stakeholder information
and monitoring system for the Nigerian Evidence-based Health Systems
Initiative (NEHSI).
Summary
The International Development Research Centre invites proposals from teams
interested in developing and establishing a multi-stakeholder information
and monitoring system in two states in Nigeria: Bauchi and Cross River.
This call for proposals is part of the planning phase for a proposed
multi-year CA $15 million IDRC-CIDA collaborative initiative to support an
evidence-based primary health system in Nigeria, the Nigerian
Evidence-based Health Systems Initiative (NEHSI). This planning phase
consists of a number of initiatives to provide baseline evidence, build
local ownership and collaborative relationships among Nigerian
stakeholders, and begin to strengthen capacity for the implementation phase.
This one time grant is for a maximum of CA$210,000 to establish a
state-level baseline of key indicators and develop a proposal for the
implementation of a multi-stakeholder information and monitoring system in
Bauchi and Cross River, Nigeria. The work must be initiated in March 2006
and completed by September 2006. Successful applicants, after a review
process of their implementation proposal for a multi-stakeholder
information and monitoring system, may be invited to continue with the
implementation for a five-year period.
The NEHSI envisions that all key stakeholders (individuals and
institutions) at federal, state and local levels progressively, understand,
contribute to, and use a health information system that provides a neutral,
transparent and reliable resource and platform for diverse stakeholders to
participate in evidence-based planning, implementation and monitoring
towards a more a fair, effective and efficient primary health care system.
Deadline for applications is 3 February 2006.

2) Call for full proposals: Demographic surveillance population monitoring
system: feasibility and design study for the Nigerian Evidence-based Health
Systems Initiative (NEHSI).
Summary:
The International Development Research Centre invites proposals from teams
interested in designing a demographic surveillance population monitoring
system in two states in
Nigeria: Bauchi and Cross River. This call for proposals is part of the
planning phase for a proposed multi-year CA $15 million IDRC-CIDA
collaborative initiative to support an evidence-based primary health system
in Nigeria, the Nigerian Evidence-based Health Systems Initiative (NEHSI).
This planning phase consists of a number of initiatives to provide baseline
evidence, build local ownership and collaborative relationships among
Nigerian stakeholders, and begin to strengthen capacity for the
implementation phase.
This one time grant is to establish appropriate institutional partnerships
in order to examine the feasibility, design, locations, partnerships, costs
and timeframe to establish two new demographic surveillance systems to
operate within the Nigerian States of Bauchi and Cross River. These sites
will be responsible for accurate "gold standard" longitudinal monitoring of
births, deaths, in-migrations and out-migrations within defined households.
The system will also undertake full analysis of the data to translate it
into an easily understood, robust evidence-base that can be used as a key
input into the health planning processes of the community level upwards
through local government area (LGA), state and ultimately to the federal
level. The work must be initiated in March,
2006 and completed by May 2006. Successful applicants, after a review
process of their implementation proposal may be invited to continue with
the implementation for a five-year period.
Deadline for applications is 3 February 2006.
