School Eye Health Rapid Assessment (SEHRA) Scoping Consultancy
Anticipated timeframe: An initial 7‑day engagement, with the potential to extend up to 6 months.
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Budget: To be discussed at interview
Start date: The consultant is expected to be available to start on or around 2 March.
Background
Sightsavers, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, is implementing a two‑year intervention – the Boresha Macho Project – which aims to strengthen and integrate refractive error services across all levels of care in Kenya. The goal is to build sustainable systems, support long‑term government investment, and contribute to the WHO’s global eye‑care target of achieving a 40-percentage point increase in effective refractive error coverage (eREC).
As part of this intervention, the project will deliver evidence‑generation and learning activities to support accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. This includes assessing the eye‑health needs of school‑aged children and evaluating compliance with the use of corrective glasses, with the findings informing the planning and monitoring of integrated school eye‑health programmes in Kenya. In line with this objective, Sightsavers intends to conduct a School Eye Health Rapid Assessment exercise in Makueni County, one of the six designated project implementation areas.
What the project will focus on: School Eye Health Rapid Assessment (SEHRA)
The Scoping Module of SEHRA identifies any policy, system or service‑delivery barriers that may affect the implementation of a school eye‑health programme and determines whether conditions are suitable for conducting a full SEHRA. It can be applied at national, sub‑national or district level, and is particularly relevant for public‑sector planning where school eye‑health is integrated into wider health and education systems.
Responsibilities
The consultant will support the initial Scoping Module of the School Eye Health Rapid Assessment (SEHRA), which examines the policy, institutional and service‑delivery environment for school eye‑health programmes in the intervention area. This includes reviewing existing school eye‑health activities, sectoral legislation and strategies, institutional structures, human resources, supply chains for glasses and equipment, and cross‑cutting barriers that may affect service delivery. In line with this, the consultant will:
- Conduct an exploratory desk review using key search terms relevant to each SEHRA module component, bookmarking relevant sources and collating documents into organised sub‑folders.
- Review identified sources to build an overall understanding of the policy, strategy, institutional and service‑delivery context for school eye health in the intervention area.
- Produce clear notes highlighting areas requiring deeper exploration through key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs).
This assignment is expected to take no more than seven days, culminating in a desk‑review report summarising findings and recommending areas for further investigation.
Timeline
The consultancy is expected to begin on 2 March, and the consultant must be available to start on or around this date. The initial assignment will span seven days, during which the desk review should be completed and the corresponding report submitted. Depending on project needs and satisfactory delivery, the consultancy may be extended for up to six months.
Skills and Experience
The consultant should bring strong experience in school eye health, public health, or education‑sector systems, with the following expertise:
- A solid understanding of Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education policies, strategies, institutional arrangements, and service‑delivery structures.
- Proven experience conducting desk reviews, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs).
- Working knowledge of programme development at national or sub‑national level, particularly in eye health, school health, education systems, and related organisational structures.
- Demonstrated experience in qualitative and quantitative research, including the ability to produce clear, analytical programme reports—ideally within the eye‑health sector.
- Credibility and familiarity with national eye‑health bodies, leading eye‑health organisations, and/or national education institutions.
- Sufficient clinical understanding to interpret school eye‑health issues and engage effectively with technical informants.
- Ability to work independently or as part of a local health or social‑policy research organisation.
Payment Terms
The agreed budget will be discussed at interview.
