#VN040 - International STC on result framework

Background:

WHO and the MoH in Viet Nam have been collaborating for decades, working to improve public health outcomes and strengthen the country’s health system. Operationally, the collaboration is conducted through a jointly agreed Project Document (PD) which details the strategic priorities of the collaboration and outlines the activities to be carried out. The current PD has a four-year time frame from 2024 to 2027 and ensures a level of predictability of WHO’s support as well as the resources required to provide that support. 

A key change in the new PD is the strong emphasis on delivering measurable impact at country level, in direct alignment with the global WHO strategic shift towards deepening accountability of both WHO and Member States for delivering results and impact. This was emphasized in WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work 2019-2024 (GPW13) and is further engrained in the new Fourteenth General Programme of Work 2025-2028 (GPW14).

In relation to the GPW14, WHO Viet Nam and the MoH have also undergone a strategic process of identifying the priority outcomes and outputs it will contribute to through the implementation of the PD, thereby aligning further and streamlining allocation of resources and delivery.

Having developed the PD in very close collaboration with the MoH, it is critical to include a well-thought-out Results Framework, with the purpose of ensuring a rigorous, continuous, data-informed approach to monitoring, measuring and evaluation of joint activities, and to link these to defined, measurable outcomes and impact. The Results Framework will allow WHO and the MoH to develop a baseline report with the current status against the agreed indicators and targets, work towards set milestones during the PD period, and have a clear articulation of the outcomes and impact expected across the PD strategic priorities and for health and well-being overall. The Results Framework will also directly align with the GPW14 results framework and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Purpose/specific objective of the activity

The purpose of the consultancy is to develop a Results Framework (streamlining and rationalization of results-based management processes, monitoring, performance assessment, evaluation, and accountability) and a baseline report to accompany the WHO-Ministry of Health (MoH) Viet Nam Health Technical Assistance Project (Project Document) for the period 2024-2027. The consultancy will also include skills and capacity building in monitoring, evaluation and measuring impact for WHO Viet Nam staff and potentially MoH counterparts.
