Consultancy Outline

Organizational MEAL System

HealthRight Kenya seeks to develop a functional MEAL system that will generate timely and reliable M&E information to:

• Support project/program implementation with accurate, evidence-based reporting that informs management and decision-making to guide and improve project/program performance.
• Contribute to organizational learning and knowledge sharing by reflecting upon and sharing experiences and lessons learned so that we can gain the full benefit from what we do and how we do it.
• Uphold accountability and compliance by demonstrating whether or not our work has been carried out as agreed and in compliance with established standards and with any other donor requirements.
• Provide opportunities for stakeholder feedback, especially beneficiaries, to provide input into and perceptions of our work, modelling openness to criticism, and willingness to learn from experiences and to adapt to changing needs.
• Promote and celebrate our work by highlighting our accomplishments and achievements, building morale and contributing to resource mobilization in robust reports.

HRK expects that the key elements of the Organization’s M&E System shall contain the following criteria:

• Accuracy: assurance of accuracy entails performance of quality control procedures locally at all stages of data collection, processing, storage of data and reporting documents
• Timeliness: our MEAL system shall be able to provide the latest organizational data to its users, especially when it comes to operational decision-making.
• Coherence: to ensure reliability of data, the system will have to be processed and compiled in a uniform, coherent, and regular way. This is because inconsistencies in collection and submission of data can distort information and analysis of trends
• Completeness: we expect the MEAL system to provide the entire picture; all elements of the organizational/program's MEAL System will have to be united as a completed jigsaw puzzle. Accurate and timely decision-making demands that data is integrated and information is presented in generalized form.
• Relevance: we are aware that irrelevant and unnecessary data and information run the risk of ruining a program or stifling organizational productivity. To operate more efficiently, the Program's M&E System has to provide information that is relevant to donors. Monitoring reports will therefore have to be presented in an orderly way that excludes voluminous detailing to prevent "information overload"

The developed MEAL system is expected to:

1. Capture all project activities and outputs – targets, achievements and lessons learnt
2. Track activities implemented and report on outputs achieved by projects and organization departments.
3. Report on progress towards achieving the organization’s Strategic Objectives and goals

Objectives of the Consultancy

The objective of the consultancy is to develop and implement a MEAL framework and system for accurate programmatic and administrative data collection and analysis, results reporting and information management at both the main office and field offices.

Specific Objectives.

1. To develop a robust internal organizational Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) system
2. To develop organizational tools for implementing the MEAL system
3. Develop a field operation MEAL guidelines, SOPs and standards for quality, capacity and training.

c. Proposed Design Areas and Scope of the Consultancy

The M&E system that HRK anticipates to implement has four major aspects:

1. M&E framework that aligns to HRK strategic plan, work plans and annual reports and policies.
2. Gathering and managing data(qualitative and quantitative) and information (tracking outputs, outcomes and goals, capturing lessons learnt and success stories)
3. Analysing the data and preparing reports
4. Communicating and reporting results (for evidence-based decision-making)

A multi-level design for the MEAL system, with efficient provision for data flow (between and within the respective tiers) for reporting and analysis. The first tier is the community level where CHVs collect data and report to the facilities or project officers where data cleaning and preliminary analysis is done, followed by reporting to the organizational managers for advanced analysis. The second tier is submission of reports to the M&E Manager/Associate Programs Director (APD) for quality review and third tier is donor reporting/report submission. All information will be aggregated at the head office level to give the overall status of implementation.

The MEAL system will be designed and implemented across the organization’s country office in Nairobi and in the various field locations.
