Call for Expression of Interest- County TB Strategic Plan Operations Frameworks Consultant (CHS/HR/TBARCII/SPOFC/01/2024)

Centre for Health Solutions – Kenya (CHS) is an indigenous not-for-profit organization that utilizes
local expertise and strategic partnerships to ensure the implementation of evidence-informed
solutions and interventions to existing and emerging public health concerns.

CHS works in partnership with various stakeholders including the Ministry of Health’s National
Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Lung Disease Program (NTLD-Program) towards the implementation of TB care and control activities across the country. This is part of the US Government initiative against TB in Kenya, funded through the USAID-funded Kenya Tuberculosis Accelerated Response and Care II (TB ARC II) program.

BACKGROUND
Kenya recently launched the National Strategic Plan for Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Lung Health
2024-2028 (NSP) that will provide national guidance towards TB response and control during the
said period. This was led by the Ministry of Health, through the Division of National Tuberculosis,
Leprosy and Lung Disease program working, alongside key technical partners, civil society, and
communities in line with the new WHO TB NSP development guidance released in July 2022.

Acknowledging the fact that health is a devolved function, and recognizing the critical role that
counties play in service delivery; including TB control and prevention, there is need to cascade
the NSP to the sub-national level. Indeed, one of the priority areas of the NSP is to strengthen the
coordination of TB services at county level for impact.

We are seeking to engage a consultant to support the TB program and counties to develop
county strategic plan operation frameworks(CSOFs). This will be in line with the global vision, the
National Strategic Plan for Tuberculosis, Leprosy, and Lung Health 2024-2028 (NSP), the regional
and county TB epidemiological context, health system dynamics in the devolved context, primary
health care and Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).

This will contribute to the achievement of global commitments and targets made by the state
during high-level meetings and forums towards the Global Vision of Ending TB by 2030. Further,
we envision fully onboarding all 47 counties into the implementation of the NSP and in addition,
come up with an elaborate monitoring and evaluation framework to monitor their performance.
The consultant will therefore work with the NTP and counties to develop Costed county
monitoring and operational frameworks with key performance indicators and targets.

OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of the consultancy is to support counties to develop a County TB Strategic Operational framework aligned with the tuberculosis program’s national strategic plan taking into consideration, the county-specific local context of the TB burden. Further, the framework will include key performance indicators and targets and will be costed.

These frameworks will act as implementation guides for the NSP at the sub-national level.

TERMS OF REFERENCE
This assignment will be carried out through discussions with NTP, counties and implementing
partners and collaborators. Some travel is anticipated. The consultant is expected to undertake
these main tasks:
• Conduct a comprehensive review of the national strategic plan in view of identifying
interventions and activities best suited for the subnational level.
• Conduct consultations with relevant stakeholders including the national TB program, counties, implementing partners, and other stakeholders.
• Develop comprehensive county operational frameworks including; Target setting resource allocation and identification (Costing), and monitoring and evaluation framework.

OUTPUT
• Output 1: Inception Report
• Output 2: Costed, County specific TB Operational Framework 2024-2028, with monitoring
and evaluation frameworks
• Output 3: Documentation on the lessons learnt on the process

TIME REQUIREMENTS AND DURATION
The process will be output-based rather than time-based and is expected to be completed within
3 months. By the end of the process, the consultant will be reimbursed based on each county
framework, for each of the following counties selected, based on the burden of TB and
geographical consideration.

    El Equilibrado de Piezas: Clave para un Funcionamiento Eficiente

    ¿ Has percibido alguna vez temblores inusuales en un equipo industrial? ¿O sonidos fuera de lo común? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como un desequilibrio en alguna pieza rotativa . Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte más de lo que imaginas.

    El equilibrado de piezas es una tarea fundamental tanto en la fabricación como en el mantenimiento de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes, rotores y componentes de motores eléctricos . Su objetivo es claro: evitar vibraciones innecesarias que pueden causar daños serios a largo plazo .

    ¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
    Imagina que tu coche tiene un neumático con peso desigual. Al acelerar, empiezan las sacudidas, el timón vibra y resulta incómodo circular así. En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias aún peores :

    Aumento del desgaste en bearings y ejes giratorios
    Sobrecalentamiento de elementos sensibles
    Riesgo de colapsos inesperados
    Paradas no planificadas y costosas reparaciones
    En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, una leve irregularidad puede transformarse en un problema grave .

    Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
    No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:

    Equilibrado dinámico
    Perfecto para elementos que operan a velocidades altas, tales como ejes o rotores . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en dos o más planos . Es el método más exacto para asegurar un movimiento uniforme .
    Equilibrado estático
    Se usa principalmente en piezas como neumáticos, discos o volantes de inercia. Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una única dirección. Es ágil, práctico y efectivo para determinados sistemas.
    Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
    Taladrado selectivo: se elimina material en la zona más pesada
    Colocación de contrapesos: por ejemplo, en llantas o aros de volantes
    Ajuste de masas: común en cigüeñales y otros componentes críticos
    Equipos profesionales para detectar y corregir vibraciones
    Para hacer un diagnóstico certero, necesitas herramientas precisas. Hoy en día hay opciones accesibles y muy efectivas, como :

    ✅ Balanset-1A — Tu asistente móvil para analizar y corregir oscilaciones

    Flavors That Speak to You
