How can you make a difference?

It is critical to document the implementation of new public health approaches so that lessons can be learned and shared within and across sites to improve programs and contribute to better health outcomes. Implementation research (IR) is one such method to systematically document, assess, and ultimately improve the implementation of programs. As the HCD-TIP approach is new to the Cambodia context, IR will help to better understand the strengths and challenges of HCD-TIP implementation at each level of the system, and to document community engagement and acceptability.

The purpose of the TOR is to use implementation research principles to understand how implementation of HCD-TIP training and rollout guides immunization demand intervention design and implementation in zero-dose and under-vaccinated communities in Cambodia.

The objectives of this consultancy include: 1. To document the adoption and adaptation of the HCD-TIP approach in the Cambodia context

2. To assess the conditions that strengthen or weaken the success of HCD-TIP implementation rollout (e.g., acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness, and sustainability) for intervention design and implementation,

3. To understand how and the extent that HCD-TIP contributes to the design and implementation of interventions to increase vaccination demand and uptake, and

4. To document and disseminate lessons learned, best practices and future recommendations related to HCD-TIP facilitated interventions at the community level.
