“Digitization of Family Planning Courses”
UNFPA is seeking to hire a consultancy firm that can preform the digitization of the Family Planning Courses as per the attached detailed ToRs.
Background:
Egypt, with a population of over 106 million as of 2024, is the most populous country in the Arab world. Family planning plays a critical role in Egypt's development strategy. However, the family planning program faces challenges such as unmet needs for contraception, limited availability of services in rural areas and cultural barriers.
UNFPA has been collaborating closely with the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) to enhance the capacity of healthcare providers. By digitalizing course materials and adopting online learning platforms, we aim to improve the reach and impact of capacity-building efforts for service providers. Digital tools and interactive courses offer an opportunity to scale impact, making training more flexible and accessible to learning opportunities, allowing healthcare service providers to enhance their knowledge and skills in family planning.
Deliverables:
The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering the following:
- Development of the course index and module structures.
- Fully digitized, functional online courses for healthcare service providers on family planning, using the technical contents provided by UNFPA and MOHP.
- Compatibility with different browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) and various devices (desktop, laptop, tablets, mobile devices IOS or Android).
- Compatibility with the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standard for easy sharing with other SCORM-compliant systems.
