Project Background
Promoting Results and Outcomes through Policy and Economic Levers (PROPEL) Health is a USAID-funded five-year project awarded to Palladium. PROPEL Health aims to improve the enabling environment for equitable and sustainable health services, supplies, and delivery systems through policy development and implementation; adequate, predictable, and sustainable health financing; enhanced government stewardship, transparency, and accountability; and use of evidence-based advocacy approaches at global, national, and subnational levels to promote best practices. It focuses on family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), primary healthcare, and the integration of FP/RH with HIV and maternal and child health (MCH).

To increase coverage, availability and utilization of FP services and commodities, the Government of Ghana (GoG) through the Ministry of Health, with support from Propel Health Ghana, has designed a comprehensive multisector national FP program housed by the Family Health Division of the Ghana Health Service. The Ghana Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan (GFPCIP) has been developed to reposition FP programs in Ghana and translate policy intent into realistic actionable programme activities. The GFPCIP 2024-2030 calls for concerted action amongst public, private, civil society, faith-based, and nongovernmental organizations to expand family planning services and strengthen our health system to meet the bold commitments by the GoG towards the FP 2030 Commitments. This realistic plan is the blueprint to which all stakeholders will refer to when working on family planning in Ghana. It has been crafted through an evidence-based, extensive consultative process encompassing globally proven interventions contextualized to our local realities.

To successfully implement the GFPCIP, true ownership, decisive leadership and meaningful stakeholder engagement is critical. Propel Health Ghana is seeking a skilled and experienced consultant to lead the design of a Communication and Dissemination Strategy and Tools for the GFPCIP 2024-2030.
