Project Title and Reference | TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANCY FOR THE CONDUCT OF TECHNICAL ASSESSEMENT OF WASH FACILITIES IN 2 PHCs IN IKORODU NORTH AND OJODU LCDAs OF LAGOS STATE UNDER THE KIMBERLY CLARK INTEGRATED HYGIENE AND HEALTH PROJECT (KC-IHHP) |
Background to the consultancy | WaterAid Nigeria with funding from Kimberly Clark is implementing an Integrated Hygiene and Health Program (I-HHP) in Lagos, Nigeria. The project will run for 1 year and will build on the achievements of the just concluded 2-year Kimberly Clark funded Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement Project (SHIP) in Lagos, which was targeted at improving hygiene behaviours among nursing mothers and the most vulnerable communities of Ikorodu North and Ojodu Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos State. The proposed Integrated Hygiene and Health Program (I-HHP project) will leverage existing structures and mechanisms set up by the SHIP in the 2 focal LCDAs to deepen our sanitation and hygiene intervention work and ensure WASH is integrated to core health program activities related to maternal, new-born and child health. To widen reach and impact of the I-HHP intervention, we will also target community members within touchpoints outside healthcare facilities. To successfully deliver this project, there is a need to engage a technical consultant to conduct an in-depth technical assessment of the selected Health centres infrastructure and WASH facilities in collaboration with the health department of the two focal LCDAs. The Consultant is required to develop detailed bill of quantities (BoQ) in line with WaterAid standards for construction. |
Justification for the consultancy | The technical assessment consultancy is needed to fully assess the cost of rehabilitating the infrastructure, without which a standard costing template for bidding by potential contractors will not be available.
