Description
Background Partners In Health (PIH) is a global health and social justice non-governmental organization. PIH's mission is to providea preferential option for impoverished people in health care. Over the past three decades, Partners In Health, along with Ministries of Health and other partners, has contributed to embedding key innovations into health systems: e.g., improving community health systems and mainstreaming paid community health workers; leveraging vertical investments such as in HIV to improve chronic disease care more broadly; strengthening national ownership of health information systems; and normalizing universal health coverage as a goal. Despite that progress, primary care still under-delivers for people in impoverished communities with the collapse of global health aid, further stressing primary care systems. Meanwhile, the pace of technological change continues to accelerate with the advent of artificial intelligence, but we see a widening relevance gap between these advances and the settings where PIH works. To navigate these crossroads, PIH seeks to strengthen its digital health approach to rural and community-based primary care, enabling the organization to demonstrate the feasibility and impact of new digital innovations to deliver primary care, particularly in rural contexts. Objectives This Request serves as a competitive process to identify a Consultant (an individual or a firm) to assess the requirements for a pragmatic integration of a digital health platform into primary health care at Partners In Health care delivery sites, as well as to develop multiple scenarios for where and how Partners In Health could initiate its implementation with a focus on rural and community-based primary care. The successful individual or firm will work with the Partners In Health Coordination Site, care delivery sites, and experts at the University of Global Health Equity to complete the following:
Consultant Capabilities & Qualifications We are seeking an individual or firm who can work in a deeply collaborative way, providing overall project management support as well as technical expertise that augments internal capabilities. The ideal consultant will have technical depth on digital health, including uses of artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on rural contexts in low-income countries.
The consultant will ideally also have experience supporting processes that are jointly executed alongside client teams: As part of this effort, PIH will establish a Core Team of 5-6 individuals who will make hands-on contributions to the analysis and recommendations, as well as a broader Steering Group to provide regular guidance on project direction.
We anticipate that the bulk of this process will be completed between February and June 2026. The location of the consultancy is flexible; key project stakeholders would be based in time zones spanning from US Eastern Time to Central African Time. The deeper readiness assessment stage would likely include in-person assessments of work in the three anticipated focus sites (Malawi, Liberia, and Sierra Leone).
