Key responsibilities include developing context-specific SBC strategies, facilitating Training of Trainers (ToT) for health workers and community mobilizers, designing and executing localized media plans, supporting LGA teams to identify local malaria champions, monitoring community engagement using state-specific tools, and providing technical support during state and LGA-level events. The consultant will also document activities, submit post-campaign reports, and ensure SBC interventions are effectively implemented and evaluated.
Deliverables include pre-, during-, and post-campaign workplans, adapted SBC materials, advocacy plans, weekly updates, SBC reports during and after the campaign, completion of preparedness checklists, and detailed consultancy reports submitted within seven days after campaign completion.
