1. Background and Rationale

Three percent of Ghanaians are classified as Persons with Disability (PWDs), as they have one form of disability or another. Generally, the percentage of Women and girls with Disability (WGDs) (3.1%) is slightly higher than males (2.9%). Educational levels differ among PWDs by sex and residence. The percentage of WGDs with no formal education is higher than males among both urban and rural dwellers. The majority of females (58.3%) with disability in rural areas have no formal education compared with 40.7% of their male counterparts.  (2010 Population and Housing Census Report on People with Disabilities). Unemployment amongst Ghanaian females estimated by ILO through modelling indicated 6.83 as of 2019. Its highest value over the past 28 years was 10.78 in 1999, while its lowest value was 4.73 in 2007.

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR ABORTION ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT       ENDLINE EVALUATION

1. Background

PPAG with funding from the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU), the Sweden IPPF member Association, has been implementing a 5-year project aimed at ensuring that Comprehensive Abortion Care is accessible, affordable, and utilized by all. The project ran from 2018-2022 and was implemented in six (6) districts in three Regions (Central Region, Ashanti Region and Northern Region). In 2022 the project was extended to 2023 and is expected to conclude at the close of the extension. Over the period, the project implemented several targeted interventions to improve the knowledge of duty bearers, community leaders, service providers, and community members on comprehensive abortion care, to enable them to make informed decisions. A key component of the project was advocacy toward including and implementing comprehensive abortion care into the annual district work plans and budgets. As the project ends, there is a need to conduct an end-line evaluation to assess the overall project performance.

PPAG, established on 4th March 1967, is an affiliate (Member Association) of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and also enjoys goodwill from many international funding agencies. Over the past 54 years, PPAG has gained expertise and become a credible leader among CSOs working in the SRHR sector, with specialization in gender transformative approaches and adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights. The Association works to complement the government’s efforts in the provision of SRHR information, education and services to the general population, particularly young people (including adolescents) and women; and also, vulnerable groups including persons living with disability, prison inmates, adolescent female internal emigrants among others.   The Association has over the years undergone several strategic changes, all in attempts to respond successfully to the changing landscape of sexual and reproductive health and rights needs in Ghana and across the Africa region. Most recently, the organization’s strategic direction, as constituted in the current Strategic Plan (2016 – 2020 and extended to 2022), has been towards achieving the following: Government commits to and implements Global, Regional and National Policies, Protocols and Commitments in respect of SRHR; 3 million young people to act freely on their sexual reproductive health and rights; 8 million quality integrated sexual and reproductive health services delivered; PPAG becomes high performing, sustainable and accountable.   The two-year extension had become necessary and was based on a recommendation from a mid-term evaluation conducted by the association.   Since the organization’s strategic plan ended in 2022, there is a need to develop a new one that responds to the current SRHR climate within Ghana and the Africa region. As a member of IPPF, this new strategic plan is also expected to align to IPPF’s newly minted strategic framework titled ‘Come Together Strategy 2023-2038’. This new strategy is a strong response to the global changes that have severely impacted access to SRHR. Changes that have emanated from the devastating impact of pandemics, climate change, migration, structural injustice, and growing inequality. Again, contextually, it is expected that the new strategic plan integrates emerging concepts around digital health interventions (DHI), gender, and mental health among others.   Within this context, PPAG seeks the services of a consultant (s) to support the organization to develop a new, comprehensive, globally oriented but context-specific strategic plan for the period 2023 to 2028.   2.0 Purpose of the Assignment The overall purpose of this assignment is to lead the process of developing a new strategic plan for PPAG for the period 2023 – 2028 based on a critical review and analysis of the internal and external context of the Association as well as a review of emerging developments on SRH at global, regional and local contexts. 2.1 Specific Objectives;
