Purpose of the consultancy and scope of the ToRs:
IPPF is commissioning a study to systematically review and analyse the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and IPPFs contribution to UHC. While there have been some publications on the importance of SRHR to achieve UHC, a systematic review that makes a strong case for this is lacking. As a global leader in SRHR service provision and advocacy, IPPF wants to invest in a systematic review and operational research to illustrate why and how SRHR is an integral component for UHC as well document role of civil society organisations like IPPF’s to achieve UHC nationally and globally.
IPPF seeks a research consultant to undertake a literature review and research that will address key questions highlighted below;
- What are the linkages between SRHR and UHC in relation to sustainable development?
- Why is focus on SRHR important to achieve UHC?
- What are the SRHR components critical to achieve UHC?
- What progress has we made on SRHR components essential to achieve UHC and what SRHR areas need further strengthening to reach UHC?
- How do health systems strengthening (HSS) support delivery of SRHR and achieving UHC?
- What is IPPF’s approach to achieve universal access to SRHR?
- What is IPPF’s contribution to UHC and HSS for sustainable development?
It is expected questions 1-5 will be informed through an external literature review and questions 6-7 will be based on research and data analysis internal to IPPF federation.
