Consultant – CDGP Minimum Package Costing & Modellings at Save the Children Nigeria, Friday 8, December 2017

Save the Children is a leading international organization helping children in need around the world. First established in the UK in 1919, separate national organizations have been set up in more than twenty-eight countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural disasters, war and conflict.

In Nigeria, Save the Children has been working since 2001. The early focus was on getting children actively involved in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. Today, Save the Children is working in seven federal states – Zamfara, Yobe, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi and Kaduna – focusing on providing basic healthcare and protecting children.

CONSULTANT – CDGP MINIMUM PACKAGE COSTING & MODELLINGS

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Child Development Grant Programme (CDGP) is a DFID-funded ‘Cash Plus’ programme that provides a package of interventions to pregnant women and women with children under the age of two years in Zamfara and Jigawa in order to reduce child malnutrition. The core components of the programme fall under two pillars: an unconditional cash transfer of 4,000 Naira per month to increase access to food plus a series of interventions to address other drivers of malnutrition, such as care and feeding practices and access to health care. Specifically, the ‘plus’ components include Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) relating to Infant and Young Child Feeding, food demonstrations, health talks, support groups (and for some households, one-on-one counselling).

The CDGP is delivered in partnership with Action Against Hunger (AAH) and in close collaboration with state governments. The overall anticipated outcome is: A scalable programme showing how cash transfers can bring cost-effective immediate and long-term food security and nutrition benefits to eligible households with young children in poor communities in northern Nigeria. CDGP is based around achieving the following four outputs:

Output 1: Secure payments mechanism providing regular, timely cash transfers to pregnant women and women with children under two years old

Output 2: Effective system for mobilisation, targeting and delivering complementary interventions established.

Output 3: Enhanced government capacities for and engagement in managing social protection and cash transfers in focus states.

Output 4: Evidence of cash transfer modalities and impacts provided to policymakers and practitioners at State and Federal levels.

DFID, SCI and AAH, through the CDGP, aim to secure increased political and institutional commitment by the Zamfara and Jigawa state governments to implement effective state-wide social protection to deliver improved nutrition, food security and poverty reduction for women and children at scale. The CDGP is accompanied by an independent evaluation that will provide rigorous evidence on impact that will be used at a variety of stages through the life of the programme to influence Zamfara and Jigawa state governments to adopt and scale up state-wide the approaches used in CDGP.  The programme also aims to inform the design and roll out of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) and specifically their flagship programme, National Social Safety Net programme (NSSNP).

The impacts of the CDGP are being rigorously evaluated using a randomised control trial, looking at differences in between two treatment arms: beneficiaries in treatment group 1 (T1) receive low intensity nutrition BCC and those in treatment group 2 (T2) receive high intensity nutrition BCC, all aiming to address malnutrition and stunting. Meanwhile the cash transfers are delivered using a registration and payment and programme Management Information System (MIS) that requires biometric data from beneficiaries. Across both treatment arms the cash transfer is supported by a robust Complaints and Response Mechanism (CRM) with multiple ways to complain, nutrition BCC, mass media and action oriented groups. The programme also relies on community volunteers and seconded staff to deliver the programme.

Rationale and Overview of the consultancy The CDGP was designed to garner evidence and lessons from its design and implementation to inform state and national government’s adoption and roll out of the programme.  A cost benefit analysis (CBA) of a scaled up version of the programme was undertaken in March 2017 to understand more about the different costs and benefits expected from the programme at national scale. It showed that the costs of CDGP compare favourably with other programmes in the region considering its expected impacts, including the National Social Safety Net Programme (NASSP).

With the programme now entering its final two years, the CDGP team wish to review the original design of the programme’s interventions, taking into account mid-line evaluation findings, in order to explore whether certain combinations of the programme elements could be turned into a ‘Minimum Package’ that would still deliver the intended impacts of reducing infant malnutrition in a cost-effective manner, but at even higher levels of operational and cost efficiency. Overall, the consultancy is aimed at presenting a series of such options for a ‘Minimum Package’ that would be sensitive to what is needed to deliver the intended impacts, as well as to the economic and political realities at state and national level, while being technically feasible given institutional capacity. The consultancy will focus on defining, costing and modelling impacts of the various options.

The Purpose & Objectives of this Consultancy

The purpose of this consultancy:

To cost the full delivery package and separate the costs for each programme element, including cash transfers, nutrition activities, staffing and administrative costs.

To identify a series of options that would deliver the intended impacts of the programme at a lower cost

To determine potential impacts of these options based on the CBA and midline impact evaluation

To determine capacity of states to pay for these options based on latest population figures, given current funding, recent budget trends and opportunities and appetite to increase funding

Specifically, the consultant will:

Review programme documents and studies including Cost Benefit Analysis, the Access and Communication Channel Study, Programme Review document, Process Evaluation Report, Midline Qualitative and Quantitative Reports and Cost of Current Programme Package.

Review all programme activities (in-situ) and cost them as delivered in the programme design.

Conduct key informant interviews with Abuja and State based programme advisors to follow up on any issues that do not emerge from the literature review or fieldwork.

Define a series of options that represent a ‘Minimum Package’ of support in line with the overarching goals of CDGP, which would achieve the same impacts as the current programme design.

In defining the Minimum Package the consultancy will, among others:

Provide the rationale for defining a minimum package for the CDGP;

Identify criteria and key elements for inclusion in a minimum package;

Outline the continuum of services within the minimum package emphasizing interrelatedness of the services;

Recommend structures, processes and responsibilities for integrated service delivery;

Outline a monitoring and evaluation process for the minimum package options;

Identify capacities and systems required for providing the Minimum Package such as (but not limited to), human and financial resources, management coordination and referral mechanisms.

Timeframe:

The work should commence by January 22nd 2018 and is expected to be completed by March 2nd 2018.

Duration of the assignment & Milestone

The maximum number of days allowable for this consultancy shall not exceed 30 consultancy days. The assignment must be finalized on or before 28th February, 2018. Payment of consultancy fee will be split into four payments, each paid on successful completion of the following milestones:

Becoming a Professional Hunter

When I first told my (then) wife I wanted to qualify as a Professional Hunter, she looked at me aghast and yelled, “you want to be a WHAT! Are you mad?” When I attended my PH training course and examination, the sentiment was repeated……. but thankfully, this time, in humour!

We get many e-mails from young men and the occasional young lady asking us how they get a job in the industry. Some erroneously see it as a ‘glamour’ job, some are genuine hunters and some simply need psychiatric help. Sometimes sorting the wheat from the chaff isn’t easy, so I usually tend to give as much advice as I can and then it’s up to them if they choose to pursue the matter.

Getting started in the industry isn’t easy for anyone, but it’s not impossible. After all, if an Englishman like me can do it, then anyone can. Two of the hardest challenges you’ll be faced with is getting your initial training and then getting your first few seasons’ experience, especially with dangerous game. I was lucky in that my first few years experience was in a more relaxed generation and I was the luckiest SOB in the world to meet and become friends with the late Mr Vivian Good. Viv was not only a great PH, he was also a good man who gave unstintingly of his advice, hospitality and friendship. When I first went along to get my official training and sit my first PH exams, I struck lucky yet again by attending the Goss Professional Hunting Academy in Kwa Zulu Natal, run by Ian Goss. Ian is a tough, ‘old school’ taskmaster, but he gives a superb standard of training and strict examination. Even today, when I tell someone I passed with Ian Goss, they’ll often comment something like, ‘hell, you must be good then!’

One of the most valuable things Ian gave to me was his parting advice as I drove off with my very first PH licence tucked in my pocket. He told me, “Steve, don’t for a moment think that I’ve made you into a good Professional Hunter. I haven’t, but I have put you on the road to becoming one, and as you take your first steps down that road, you’ll learn something new every day.” Nearly 20 years later, that statement still rings as true today as it was then. I’m still learning new things about the business on a daily basis and I doubt I’ll ever be able to thank Ian enough for all his help, friendship and support he’s given me over the years.

The South African Professional Hunting academies, although occasionally criticised by some, are a very good way for the novice to start his PH training and get his first licence, but remember, if you’re not a South African resident, you are forbidden to sit the exams, which means that although you’ll have completed the training, there is no possible way you can actually gain the PH licence.

Don’t even consider attending one of these academies unless you have at least a reasonably good knowledge of the basics such as rifles, ballistics and a general knowledge of the common mammals in general and hunting in particular. If you turn up not knowing a kudu from 30.06, you’ll be wasting your money and everyone’s time and you may very well get kicked out on your ass!

It should be noted that at the time of writing this article, South Africa is currently considering revising the Professional Hunter training and examination system, and if this happens, the course will become considerably longer, more expensive and harder to complete. The proposed syllabus currently looks like it’ll comprise of something like 150+ unit standards and each unit standard will equate to a day’s work or study.

Another option if you are unable or reluctant to attend one of the South African PH training academies, or even if you do attend the course. Your next step will be to begin looking for your first seasons work.

If you live in South Africa and want to restrict yourself to that country, then it’s fairly straight forward, all you have to do is join PHASA and put an advert in the magazine and hope that something comes up. If you’re from overseas, then it’s a bit more difficult. My advice would be to get on the internet and start researching for good quality hunting companies that might pique your interest and operate in the countries you’d like to work in. Then you get yourself organised with a good quality, professional CV/resume and start sending it to the companies of your choice and asking for work. Remember that even if you offer to work for nothing but keep and tips, and you may well have to, it still costs the safari company a great deal of money to keep you in camp and train you, so if you and your application needs to be of the highest possible standard. If it’s not, then forget it until you can make yourself more desirable to any potential employers. I’ve never forgotten one bloody idiot that wrote to me many years ago telling me that just because he had a masters degree in medieval history, had been chairman of his university clay pigeon club for a year and lived on a farm in the shires, he was ideally suited for me to employ him as a Professional Hunter. Quite why, I could never fathom – he hadn’t even ever fired a rifle and knew zero about even the basics of Africa or the African hunting industry…….. Needless to say, he didn’t get a job, but he did give me a laugh!

If you’re lucky enough to break into the safari industry, and some do manage to do it, you can expect your first season or two to be spent doing some of the more mundane tasks such as road and camp building and vehicle maintenance. You’d better make sure you make a good job of everything you do. Stuff something up and you just might be out of a job the next day. After all, a safari company simply can’t afford vehicle breakdowns in the middle of the bush for instance. – The good news is that if you get it right, you’ll be taking the first steps down the road to a great career.

Working as a PH is a great job, but don’t expect it to ever make you rich. If you want to make serious money, go get a job as a lawyer or a banker or something, sure it’s not as much fun as working as a PH, but you’ll probably make enough money to come on safari on a regular basis. If you feel you can forego the money in exchange for the lifestyle of a Professional Hunter, then I’d encourage you to go for it. I did, and I’ve never regretted it. My bank manager and my ex-wife might have done, but I never have……..
