South Africa remains at the center of the global AIDS epidemic and has one of the world's highest burdens of tuberculosis (TB). An efficient and effective health supply chain that improves medicine availability is critical to addressing that disease burden. With this in mind, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the Global Health Supply Chain Program – Technical Assistance (GHSC-TA) in South Africa in September 2016. The program provides technical assistance to the South African government to strengthen public health systems and supply chains to advance an AIDS-free generation and contribute to achieving universal health coverage.
GHSC-TA provides technical assistance directly to the National Department of Health, as well as to the Pharmaceutical Services directorates of the Provincial Departments of Health. The program's overall aim is to assist the government with improving access to, and availability of the medicines and medical devices needed to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, TB, and associated conditions and disorders.

Banyan Global is an international development consulting firm committed to improving livelihoods through market approaches for a broad and lasting impact. The firm is headquartered in Washington, DC with staff working in a number of developing countries. Banyan Global operates seamlessly within six practice areas: health, finance and investment, enterprise development, gender, youth, and evaluation and learning. Banyan Global implements the USAID/Malawi Learn to Perform (L2P) activity which seeks to improve the Mission’s performance management, enhance program efficiency, and advance Mission learning.
Banyan Global seeks an individual consultant to provide his/her third-party expert opinion regarding the survey-based methodology proposed by L2P in verifying one of the indicators contained under the Annual Data Verification for Modern Cooking for Healthy Forests Activity (MCHF) that it currently implements. MCHF is a five-year activity (October 1, 2019 – September 30, 2024) co-funded by USAID and United Kingdom (UK) Foreign, Commonwealth, Development Office (FCDO), and implemented by Tetra Tech. USAID and FCDO initiated this activity after revealing that the main threats to Malawi’s forests included unsustainable wood harvesting because of over-reliance of the local communities on wood fuels to meet energy needs (charcoal and firewood for cooking, fish smoking, and brick and tobacco curing), use of timber for construction, agriculture, and settlement expansion in forested areas, and harmful bushfires. Charcoal production was the single most significant driver of forest loss in Malawi. More than 96 percent of households relied on charcoal and firewood as their primary cooking and heating fuel. Within Malawi’s development context, charcoal and firewood will continue to be significant sources of cooking and heating energy in the foreseeable future – in fact, reliance on wood fuels is expected to further increase with population growth and urbanization. The lack of income-generating opportunities in rural areas and the lack of alternative cooking energy sources are the major drivers fueling the charcoal and firewood trade. As a major source of employment and energy, charcoal is often illegally produced in protected forest reserves intended to serve as critical water catchments for large populations.
The MCHF project design enhances sustainable forest management in Malawi in select landscapes and promotes sustainable energy options in select urban demand centers to maintain forest cover and reduce land-based emissions. By increasing demand for alternative and efficient energy options and technologies and expanding supply of sustainable wood fuels from well managed forest resources, MCHF's objectives are to reduce unsustainable tree cutting in both public and customary forests, improve forest cover, and conserve associated watersheds. The activity builds on the strong foundation laid by USAID’s Protecting 3 Ecosystems and Restoring Forests in Malawi Activity (PERFORM), which supported effective governance and forest management processes, built Malawi’s Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) readiness capacity, and promoted low-emission land use opportunities. The MCHF activity is implemented in seven districts across Malawi, namely Mzimba and Nkhatabay in the North; Lilongwe, Salima, and Dedza in the Centre; and Blantyre and Zomba in the South.The activity has 23 indicators of which three are fee-tied. For the 2021/22 fiscal year, only two indicators were submitted to L2P for verification. The focus of the consultancy focuses on only one of these indicators,“Percent of households in urban areas that have adopted alternative cooking energy sources and/or efficient cooking technologies.”
