RFP - Procurement of Services for Strategic Positioning and Materials Development

About the Organization:

PATH is a global organization that works to accelerate health equity by bringing together public institutions, businesses, social enterprises, and investors to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges. With expertise in science, health, finance, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales innovative solutions-including vaccines, drugs, devices, diagnostics, and approaches to strengthening health systems worldwide.

Project Background:

PATH’s Malaria Radical Cure Opportunity Assessment (MRCOA) project set out to understand key opportunities and challenges associated with scaling up safe radical cure in India. The project identified use cases that spanned multiple contexts including urban and rural environments as well as public and private health care facilities. Through primary and secondary research, geospatial modeling, and feedback from key stakeholders, PATH identified key market segments, their associated risks, and articulated investment opportunities that would increase access to safe radical cure. PATH then mapped these investment opportunities according to health impact and level of investment required.

Scope of Work:

Problem:

Following a landscape analysis conducted by PATH, the team has identified the challenge that key malaria decision makers in India, at national, and state levels, are either not aware of G6PD deficiency, or do not perceive the value of testing for G6PD deficiency before providing radical cure therapy as a priority in the malaria elimination efforts.

Objectives and Need:

To develop user-friendly communications tools that effectively support consensus building around the need for G6PD and radical cure in support of malaria radical cure in India.

Deliverables:

• Rapid Review of Landscape Analysis and Key Findings
• Development of Value Proposition and Core Messaging
• Message Testing with Core Stakeholders
• Communication Tactics/Materials Planning
• Materials Development
