Job Purpose

• The purpose of the assignment is to conduct a comparative cost analysis of a hybrid vaccination schedule with different delivery approaches.

Scope of Assignment

• The overall objective of this consultancy is to support MC in generating evidence to be considered for a more feasible and cost-effective model that would increase the impact of malaria vaccine deployment in resource-constrained settings. 
• This involves assessing the costs associated with implementing the hybrid malaria vaccine immunization with different delivery approaches. The key outcomes to be measured are
• Program costs (Additional costs for vaccination, promotional activities, training, logistics and infrastructure)
• Incremental cost per vaccinated child.
• Incremental cost per completed vaccination series.

This assessment would engage a range of quantitative and qualitative methods:

Program Costs:

• Vaccination costs: Additional costs related to vaccine procurement, storage, transportation, and administration, associated with the increased pre-season demand.
• Promotion costs: Costs of enhanced community promotion activities, including materials (e.g., posters, flyers), and community outreach workers.
• Training costs: Costs of training healthcare providers and community workers involved in hybrid vaccination and promotional activities.
• Logistics and infrastructure costs: Additional resources needed to implement the enhanced schedule.

The following methods will be used to measure each component:

Demand creation Costs (Pre-season Community Engagement and key messages through SMC):

Method:

• Activity-based costing: Identify and allocate costs associated with each promotional activity (e.g., printing materials, community outreach workers, media campaigns).
• Survey or key informant interviews: To capture the time spent by outreach workers on promotion activities and how much time is devoted to different communities.

Training Costs:

Method:

• Cost analysis of training sessions: Document costs related to the design and implementation of training (e.g., materials, venues, trainer salaries).
• Staff time analysis: Collect data on the number of staff attending, duration of training, and wages/salaries for estimating opportunity costs.
• Surveys or focus groups with trainers and participants: To assess the effectiveness and scope of the training.

Logistics and Infrastructure Costs:

Method:

• Health facility assessments: Conduct infrastructure assessments to document additional infrastructure needs such as cold storage or transportation expansions.
• Survey or interviews with health facility/logistics managers: Understand the specific logistical challenges and costs introduced by the hybrid schedule.

Incremental Cost per Vaccinated Child:

Method:

• Cost-per-child analysis: Divide the total program costs (vaccination, promotion, training, logistics) by the number of children vaccinated to calculate the incremental cost per vaccinated child.
• Cost comparison: Compare these costs between the hybrid schedule and the standard schedule using historical data for the standard schedule.

Incremental Cost per Completed Vaccination Series:

Method:

• Cohort analysis: Follow a cohort of children through the entire vaccination process to determine how many complete the full series of doses.
• Cost-per-series calculation: Use the total costs of vaccination and promotion and divide by the number of children who complete the full vaccination series.

Deliverables:

• Protocol for cost effectiveness analysis
• Tools for data collection for cost effectiveness analysis
• A short inception report to define the scope of work, proposed timeline outlining the approach to be taken, key assumptions and trained project team members
