Documentation of Good Practices, Lessons Learnt and Success Stories 

 

Background and Context

HERAF is a national non-governmental organization that promotes human rights-based approach in health care delivery. It was established in 2006 and registered by the NGO Coordination Board in 2007 as Health Rights Advocacy Forum (HERAF). HERAF has practical experience and strategies of over 11 years in engaging in policy and budget advocacy and social accountability.

 

During the 2017 – 2021 strategic period key projects implemented focused on leadership and governance, Mental Health, and Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) in Health Facilities (HCF). HERAF promoted civil society organizations (CSOs) participation, engagement, and oversight in governance at the national and county levels. Key interventions included public participation in policy dialogue forums, planning, budgeting, monitoring public services, and tracking utilization of public resources.

 

Though the organisation has been able to accomplish several projects successfully over the period, the capacity to assess, document and share best practices and lessons learned remained a challenge. In order to address this gap, the organisation is issuing a short-term consultancy to a suitable candidate to facilitate documentation of good practices, lessons learnt and success stories in projects implemented in last five (5) years in Nyeri County.
