1 Background
HP+ is a five-year project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by a consortium of partners, led by Palladium. In Cambodia, HP+ works to increase sustainable, predictable, and adequate financing for key health programs and to improve social health protection policy implementation. The project builds on the efforts of multiple USAID/Cambodia activities and assists the Royal Government of Cambodia to increase domestic resource mobilization for priority health areas and ensure the effective and efficient management of resources. Objective 3 of HP+ Cambodia workplan focuses on tuberculosis (TB) and is to: Increase domestic resources for TB accompanied by more integrated TB service delivery, improved strategic planning, and more robust TB management information systems (TB-MIS) . HP+ is supporting the Ministry of Health’s National Center for Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control (CENAT) to reach this objective.
The TB-MIS was customized by local programmers by a previous project using the existing open-source application e-TB Manager and is web-based. The programing work is done in Java. Following a pilot phase in Cambodia, the TB-MIS was launched nationwide in January 2018. Currently, HP+ has a team of software developers supporting CENAT in the management and improvement of the TB-MIS.
Accordingly. HP+ Cambodia is seeking an ICT expert to conduct a system assessment of the TB-MIS, review HP+ support effort in terms of strategy and efficiency, review TB-MIS architecture in view of a systematic evaluation and subsequent modifications to the design required by the end of 2020.
