Consultant for Developing of E-learning Plate Form
- Career Category: Advisor / Individual Consultant, Computer - General, Educate/Train/Teaching, Health/Medical
- Schedule:Short-term
- Salary: N/A
Objective of the assignment
To ensure long-term sustainability and maximize returns on investments in training and capacity building, H-EQIP 2 has envisaged the establishment of a Learning Management System (LMS) for continuous professional development. The LMS will serve as a centralized digital platform through which online training materials developed for professional development can be continuously updated and reused, made available to health workers on a 24/7 basis, and scaled nationwide at low cost and high speed.
Beyond delivery of training content, the LMS is expected to create opportunities for systematic and continuous tracking of compliance with basic CPD requirements, monitoring of learning outcomes and trends, and the identification and targeted support of poor performers.
One concrete example of how the LMS will be utilized is the integration of training programs developed under the World Bank's technical support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) for strengthening infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in provincial hospitals. Similar programs developed under H-EQIP 2 and by other partners will progressively be integrated into the platform, making it a living repository of CPD resources for the health sector.
The Ministry of Health is seeking a qualified Local Consultant to provide technical and implementation support for the establishment and operationalization of the LMS.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to provide dedicated technical and coordination support to the MoH in planning, procuring, establishing, populating, testing, and operationalizing a Learning Management System for continuous professional development of health care providers under H-EQIP 2.
