Evaluation of the ‘Emergency Nutrition Assistance for Drought Affected Vulnerable Communities of Turkana County of Kenya’
Project funded by USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA)

Terms of Reference (ToR)

1. Introduction and background information:

Turkana County covers about 77,000 square kilometres of the country’s arid north western region. The county is classified as arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya (ASAL) and is historically drought prone area that experiences frequent, successive and prolonged dry periods. It has two rainy seasons, the long rains (April–June) and the short rains (October–December) but rainfall is often unreliable. The 2011 drought that affected the Horn of Africa region exposed many pastoralist communities, including those living in Turkana County to severe food insecurity which eventually led to high rates of acute malnutrition amongst children under five years and pregnant and lactating women (Turkana nutrition survey – May 2011).

The subsequent scaling up of nutrition interventions has resulted in improvement of nutritional status of children and pregnant and lactating women.  
As part of the general scaling up of nutrition activities, Merlin since April 2013 has been implementing an OFDA funded emergency nutrition support project in Turkana County. The project ended on 31st January 2014. Since February 1st 2014 Merlin has merged with Save the Children to create a world-class humanitarian health force for children and their families living in some of the most challenging places in the world.
Project Objectives and Expected Results
The overall goal of the project was to contribute to the reduction of levels of morbidity and mortality amongst drought affected vulnerable communities, particularly under-five children and pregnant and lactating women, in Turkana Central, Loima, Turkana South, and Turkana North districts of Northern Kenya.
Main highlights of the project strategy for implementation of this action included:Integration of nutrition and health issues like the prevention and management of diseases like diarrhea, that negatively impact on nutritional status and vice versaStrengthening of hygiene practices to reduce the incidence of diarrheal disease associated with contaminated water in the household including health education to educate the community on domestic treatment of drinking water and effective hand washing (soap/ash) and use of latrines/toilets. In particular, a focus on longer-term strategies with a behaviour change communication (BCC) component that would help to translate knowledge to practice.Implementation of community-led infant and young child feeding practices program with the involvement of mother-to-mother peer support groups.Distribution of micronutrients and de-worming.Community and household level screening together with approaches that will avoid at risk children deteriorating, especially in the lean seasonal period. One approach will be the linking of households with children recently discharged from SFP programme to GFD (FFA), to reduce the relapse cases, due to household food insecurity.Management of moderate and severe acute malnutritionSupporting district health authorities to developing joint emergency preparedness and response plans The project was also based upon the partnership framework between the MoH, UNICEF and other partners to support the delivery of essential nutrition services in Kenya. This partnership framework envisaged that general principles of support to MoH should include:- Full integration of a comprehensive package of high impact nutrition interventions. Results based orientation to programming. Full commitment to coordination. Strategic development of capacity at all levels of service delivery to enable the MoH function well with minimal or no support from partners. Direct involvement in service delivery only in exceptional casesFocus on mentoring, supportive supervision and on-the-job training.2. Overall objective of the Evaluation:

SHOPS Project Kenya - Capitation Quality Assurance / Monitoring & Evaluation Consultant
Purpose of Assignment: The purpose of the assignment is to provide technical assistance in the development and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) Plan and monitor the insurer, provider and client perspectives for a capitation pilot in a health insurance company. The insurer intends to switch from a fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement system to a capitation mode of payment for their corporate medical products covering out-patient care.
 Rationale / Justification for Assignment: Since FY 2013, SHOPS Kenya has been offering TA to an insurer on building their capacity for marketing and distribution. As continuation of this technical assistance, SHOPS Kenya will support the insurer as it pilots a capitation model of paying their network healthcare providers. Brief Background: In FY2014, SHOPS will continue to provide technical assistance to the insurer to facilitate the roll-out of their health insurance product in accordance to the distribution as well as marketing strategies. In addition, SHOPS will support the insurer design and pilot a capitation mode of payment.
Introducing prospective provider payment mechanisms such as capitation controls the negative provider incentives associated with FFS and presents a significant opportunity to control claims ratios
and administration costs for insurers. On the provider end, prospective payments give the advantage of pre-negotiated payments with a lower administrative burden and a predictable revenue stream. Capitation payment systems also allow providers to spend more time on patient care, which frequently increases patient and provider satisfaction.
This being a new concept, the insurer intends to monitor and document the capitation pilot to learn from the experience as they transition from FFS to capitation for all their clients, and support the improvement of the capitation model in subsequent iterations. SHOPS therefore intends to support the insurer with technical assistance to develop systems to identify indicators for continuous monitoring of insurer, provider, and client perspectives. SHOPS will also assist the insurer to develop systems that identify and mitigate challenges that arise during the pilot. SHOPS researchers will assemble this information in an end-term evaluation of the capitation pilot that may be used to advocate for future policy changes.
1. Under the guidance of the SHOPS capitation research lead, support the insurer to identify the challenges associated with capitation and indicators for monitoring the capitation pilot. This will include (but not be limited to) collecting data on the following:
a. Insurer: utilization data, claims incidence, diagnoses, claims ratios, administration costs, challenges and recommendations for improving capitation, comprehension of capitation, and other information relevant to informing rate negotiations with healthcare providers.
b. Providers: satisfaction and motivation in response to the capitation pilot, administration costs (at the beginning and through the duration of the pilot term), profits and sustainability of capitation payments (relative to FFS), challenges and recommendations for improving capitation, comprehension of capitation, and other information relevant to informing rate negotiations with insurance providers.
c. Clients: patient satisfaction, out-of-pocket spending, wait times, access and utilization of needed care, perceived coordination of care
2. Train insurers, providers, and survey teams to implement monitoring tools for use during the capitation pilot. This includes an audit checklist/tool for insurers that will ensure that providers deliver high quality services to clients, a customer satisfaction monitoring tool for a survey of capitated clients, and a survey for health facility administrators and providers around their experiences with participating in the capitation pilot.
a. Coordinate the collection of survey data through phone or facility interviews.
b. Manage a short-term team of data collectors to implement the survey.
3. Assist the SHOPS capitation research lead to develop a quality assurance/monitoring and evaluation plan for use during the capitation pilot and beyond the pilot as the insurer transitions from FFS
4. Implement a training program for the insurer managerial staff on how to use the indicators identified, tools designed and the quality assurance/monitoring plan.
5. Support the insurer in the monitoring of these indicators during the capitation pilot.
6. Provide inputs to an end-term evaluation of the capitation pilot including a report to document findings, lessons, successes and challenges (from insurer, provider, and client perspectives).
 Key Deliverables & Expected Outputs:
1. Identify indicators, design tools and develop a plan to monitor the capitation pilot along the insurer, provider and client perspectives
a. While overseeing a team of data collectors, the consultant will be responsible for the creation and cleaning of the following datasets (at baseline, mid-line, and endline):
i. Patient satisfaction survey
ii. Insurer satisfaction survey
iii. Provider satisfaction survey
2. Training of the insurer’s team on indicators and tools designed to monitor the pilot.
3. During the capitation pilot, the consultant will provide ongoing supervision and feedback to the insurer’s team for monitoring the pilot and quality assurance.
4. An end term evaluation that will document the pilot’s lessons, successes and challenges for future learning as the insurer fully transitions to capitation.
