Abuja, Nigeria

Job Description

The Association for Reproductive and Family Health (ARFH) invites qualified individual consultants and consulting firms to submit proposals to conduct a cost, return on investment (ROI), and cost-effectiveness analysis to inform the next phase of scale-up for DMPA-SC self-injection (SI) services in Nigeria.

Background

ARFH, with support from the Gates Foundation, is implementing activities to strengthen data systems and improve data use for decision-making in the delivery of DMPA-SC and self-injection services in Nigeria.
