OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT | SCOPE OF WORK | EXPECTED DELIVERABLES
Background
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major and growing health and economic threat in Africa, contributing to an estimated 4.1 million deaths each year and potentially reducing GDP by up to 5% by 2050. However, economic evaluation remains underused in guiding AMR interventions because of limited technical capacity, weak One Health integration, poor adaptation of existing methods to African contexts, and inadequate institutional sustainability.
In response, the African Society for Laboratory Medicine is implementing the project Building Economic Assessment Capacity for One Health AMR Interventions in Africa (BEACOI-Africa). The project seeks to develop a sustainable and contextually relevant curriculum to strengthen regional capacity for the economic evaluation of AMR interventions across One Health sectors in Africa. BEACOI-Africa will support the development of a regional bilingual curriculum and associated training materials, the delivery of a blended learning program for at least 120 professionals. Curriculum development will be jointly led by two experts covering the human and animal health economics dimensions.
To support this work, ASLM seeks a Course Content Developer Consultant to produce high-quality, practical, and context-appropriate learning materials for the program.
Purpose of the consultancy
The consultant will develop technically robust, learner-centered, and bilingual-ready course content for priority curriculum modules on the economic evaluation of AMR interventions in a One Health context, with a strong focus on African context.
