Background and Purpose of the Consultancy

• The Management Information System (MIS) unit of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Bangladesh, plays a critical role in disease surveillance, reporting, and decision making. During the ongoing measles outbreak response, challenges have been identified related to timely data entry, data accuracy, and quality assurance, particularly for emergency surveillance and laboratory related data.
  Given the urgency of the measles response and the need for reliable, real time data to inform coordination and decision making, there is an immediate requirement for short term technical assistance to strengthen MIS capacity in emergency data management, validation, and standard operating procedures, while ensuring alignment with existing DGHS systems.
  The purpose of this consultancy is to strengthen the capacity of the MIS unit, DGHS in emergency data entry, management, and quality assurance, with a specific focus on improving the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of measles surveillance and laboratory data during public health emergencies.
  Scope of Work
  The consultant will work closely with STRIDES and DGHS MIS leadership to:

• Strengthen emergency data entry protocols and standards for surveillance and laboratory‑related reporting.

• Improve data quality assurance mechanisms, including validation, verification, and error‑correction processes.

• Support the development and/or refinement of SOPs for data management during public health emergencies, aligned with existing DGHS workflows.

• Deliver hands‑on training and mentoring to MIS staff to ensure practical application and sustained improvement.

• Provide targeted, on‑the‑job support during the consultancy period to improve measles‑related data reporting performance.

Duration: Up to a maximum of 40 Days
Reporting: STRIDES Project Director, in coordination with MIS, DGHS
