Request for Proposal

Effect Hope is inviting proposals to conduct an evaluation of its Proyash – Accelerating Leprosy Services Project which focuses on improving the accessibility, quality, and sustainability of government leprosy services in Bangladesh. There are two project implementers (NGOs): The Leprosy Mission International – Bangladesh and Lepra Bangladesh. Both partners are using the same Theory of Change and Outcomes, but use different strategies for implementation in different geographical areas of Bangladesh. The Proyash Project works with all levels of government health staff to improve the health system’s ability to deliver needed services to leprosy patients, including referral, monitoring and reporting system. In addition, the Project works to improve access to leprosy services by improving health-seeking behavior and reducing stigma, discrimination, and promoting social inclusion of people affected by leprosy (PABL).

Effect Hope is looking for a lead consultant/ organization for evaluating the abovementioned project to be completed before/ by 6th Dec 2021. The evaluators will also be required to participate in a virtual meeting to share preliminary findings in mid-November 2021.
