Subject: Hiring an Individual Consultant to develop a National Prescription Policy for Animal Health (production & medication) for the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA).

The Government of Liberia has received funding from the World Bank to support the Health Security Project and plans to use part of the credit to hire an Individual Consultant to Develop a One Health Workforce and Retention Strategy for the National Public Health Institute of Liberia.

In September 2023, Liberia underwent a second JEE assessment using the third edition tool with participation of multisectoral experts to jointly assess Liberia’s strengths, weaknesses and priority actions in health security preparedness and response. Results from the assessment showed that the overall IHR core capacity of the country is 43.9% (Liberia JEE Report, 2023). Among the indications with no capacity, was the unavailability of a Multisectoral workforce strategy that has been flagged up overtime. Currently, there are sector-specific workforce strategies for human health and animal health sectors in the Ministries of Health and Agriculture. It is critical that the One Health workforce strategy be developed linking all relevant sectors that will document the country’s current workforce capacity and needs for appropriate intervention. The National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL) serving as the National Coordinating Institute of Liberia is tasked with helping to develop the health workforce that is responsive to and adequate for the needs of the nation within the context of one health.

Key Objective:

The primary objective of this consultancy is to provide technical assistance and guidance in the development of a National Prescription Policy for Animal Health in Liberia. The policy will serve as a guiding document for the regulation and management of veterinary medicines and prescriptions, ensuring their safe and effective use.

In view of the above, the Ministry of Health now invites qualified individuals to express their interest in providing the Consulting Services mentioned above by submitting a cover letter, up-to-date CV indicating three (3) references.
