Objective of this consultancy
To facilitate a comprehensive RC Death Study across six selected Area Programmes—Angurai, Wajir, Kalapata, Lower Yatta, Galole, and Mathare to establish the causes, proportions, programmatic implications, and intervention gaps related to RC deaths.
Scope
The consultant will undertake the following key tasks:
Study Preparation and Design
- Review existing RC death records, Child Well-Being Outcome (CWBO) data, and related AP reports.
- Develop and validate study tools (FGD/IDI guides, secondary data abstraction forms, and KIIs).
- Orient sponsor officers and volunteers on mining data from health facilities, chiefs’ records, KIIs, and FGDs.
Field Data Collection Facilitation
- Coordinate field visits to all 6 AP sites, ensuring diverse representation (rural, fragile, and urban contexts).
- Facilitate briefings with chiefs, volunteers, CHPs, and hospital facilities in charge.
- Support teams in gathering both quantitative data (secondary records) and qualitative data on:
- Causes of RC deaths (medical, social, environmental).
- Proportion of RC deaths versus deaths in the general child population of the same age group.
- Impact on families, sponsorship, and community well-being.
Data Verification and Analysis
- Facilitate triangulation of data from sponsorship systems (Horizon), health records, and community reports.

- Analyze qualitative insights on causes and impacts of RC deaths and suggest viable programmatic actions.
Assessment of Interventions and Response Depth
- Map and assess existing WVK and partner interventions addressing child mortality (health, nutrition, WASH, protection).
- Determine the depth and effectiveness of interventions geared toward reducing RC deaths.
- Identify systemic or operational gaps such as delayed referrals, limited health access, or weak follow-up mechanisms.
Review of Targeting and Inclusion
- Examine the scale of targeting RCs within AP interventions compared to non-RCs.
- Assess equity and inclusion in programme planning, budget allocation, and service coverage.
- Document best practices and missed opportunities for RC-specific vulnerability targeting.
Reporting, Learning, and Dissemination
- Synthesize findings into a comprehensive report and dashboard (quantitative + qualitative).
- Lead reflection sessions with AP teams and SMT on emerging trends and programmatic implications.
- Document lessons, good practices, and risk mitigation recommendations.
- Present findings to WVK Strategy and Technical Teams to inform FY26–30 planning and integrated child well-being approaches.
