Job Description

Introduction:

Amref Health Africa, on behalf of the Kenya Ministry of Health, State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, invites proposals from eligible candidates for consultancy to conduct Kenya's Climate Change and Health Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment (CHVA).

Background and Context:

Climate change is significantly increasing health risks in Kenya, amplifying existing challenges and threatening Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The country faces a rise in vector- and waterborne diseases (like malaria, dengue, and cholera due to increased vector suitability, higher temperatures, rainfall changes, and impacts on water quality). Extreme weather events (flash floods and prolonged droughts) further worsen water and air quality (leading to respiratory issues) and increase cases of heat-related illness, food insecurity, mental health challenges, injuries, and deaths. These impacts disproportionately affect vulnerable groups (children, women, and the elderly in poor rural areas). Kenya's already strained health system is ill-equipped to handle this growing demand, making proactive intervention critical.

Kenya's commitment under the COP26 Health Programme includes conducting a Climate Change and Health Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment, which is to inform the country's first Health National Adaptation Plan (HNAP). This RfP therefore aims to support Kenya's Ministry of Health to complete a comprehensive Climate Change and Health Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment (CHVA).

Expected profiles of the eligible entities:

The applicants should demonstrate the following;

  • Proven Experience: Minimum 7–10 years in conducting public health consultancies in the areas of HIA, ESIAs, climate health modelling, preferably with climate health projects financed by the Dutch government, World Health Organization, World Bank, IFC, UNICEF or other multilateral institutions.
  • Proven track record of completing public health and climate health consultancies, with particular focus in assessing public health impacts and developing health impact assessment and management plans and climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessments in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Experience with projects funded by international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, World Health Organization, Global Fund and familiarity with the WHO's guide on climate vulnerability and adaptation assessments and the World Bank's Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), among other global best frameworks.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Familiarity with: World Bank ESF (ESS1-ESS10), WHO climate change and health vulnerability Assessment Guidelines.
  • Kenyan health, environmental and climate change laws (e.g., Public Health Act, Health Act, Climate Change Act, County health laws).
  • Technical Expertise: Consultancy team to have experience in health impact assessment, environmental health and climate change specialization.
  • Knowledge of Good Best Practices in the development of health policies and undertaking of health impact assessment in the African Region.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Demonstrated ability to conduct public consultations with affected communities, government agencies, and civil society.
  • Communication skills: to manage the project's visibility and media relations.
  • Preferred credentials: Past Projects: Examples of completed HIA/CHVA/C-HNAP or any health project or policy impact assessment reports.

Submission of Full Proposal:

Completed proposals are to be enclosed in a plain sealed envelope(s) clearly marked with the RFP name and RFP reference number and should be addressed to the following address:
