Technical Consultant: Burden of Disease Assessment
Type of Solicitation: Request for proposal from independent consultants

Site of Work: Remote
Description: Vital Strategies is seeking competitive proposals from qualified independent contractors or consortia to provide services to conduct an assessment of the use of burden of disease evidence by national and subnational decision-makers. The project will involve desk work as well as travel to several focus countries to carry out the assessment.
This project will assess the current landscape of burden of disease (BoD) estimation efforts and generate insights into their use in health policy decisions made by governments, whether and how BoD estimates could be better used to inform those decisions, and the desired characteristics of BoD estimates for this purpose. It will be implemented through a mixed-methods approach, combining desk reviews and interviews with authorities working on global, national, subnational, and disease-specific BoD estimates with qualitative research with government officials and other stakeholders in focus countries to ensure findings are grounded in real-world use cases and decision needs.
