1. Background and
Introduction
FHI-360 managed,
USAID Healthy Behaviors Activity, with its partners the Consortium of Action
Aid Ethiopia; Zeleman Communications, Advertising, and Production; and Fraym,

behaviors in Ethiopia using evidence-based, theory-informed social and behavior
change (SBC) strategies. Geographically, U-HB implementation covers Oromia, Amhara,
SNNP, Dire Dawa, Benishangul Gumiz, and Gambella regions with more than 140
woredas. One of the thematic health areas is the Global Health Security Agenda
(GHSA) Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) which is being
implemented in 23 woredas of Amhara, Oromia, and South Ethiopia.
FHI 360 is pleased
to announce the release of its Request for Applications. With this RFP, FHI 360
is soliciting applications from eligible research/survey firms for the conduct
of the Baseline survey of the USAID-supported GHSA RCCE Activity. A selected
firm will be contracted to conduct a baseline survey from selected study woredas
of the 3 regions (Amhara, Oromia, and South Ethiopia regions. A total sample of
480 livestock- owning households will be surveyed. This sample will be drawn
from the 3 regions (Amhara, Oromia, and South Ethiopia), covering intervention zones.
In addition, a total of 51 KII and 16 FGDs will be facilitated from the
randomly selected study zones and woredas.
2. Objectives
The baseline survey
will be conducted with the following primary and secondary objectives:
Primary Objectives:
- Establish baseline
rates for performance indicators and inform annual targets (for behavior change
objectives and priority determinants that may, when shifted, lead to behavior
change goals)
- Understand the
existing GHSA RCCE system to detect and respond to prioritized zoonotic and
emerging diseases.
- Understand
community and household practices and health- seeking behavior to prevent priority
GHSA and other zoonotic and emerging diseases.
- Understand
enabling and inhibiting factors that affect prioritized zoonotic disease
prevention- to inform programming.
Secondary
Objectives: Identify trusted channels of communication and identify current
exposure to prioritized zoonotic and emerging diseases.
3. Methods
Data collection will
be conducted with respondents who reside in the USAID Healthy Behaviors
Activity/GHSA Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) focal regions:
Amhara, Oromia, and South Ethiopia. The baseline survey will employ mixed
methods –both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The proposed methodology
for data collection is secondary document review and primary Data Collection.
The primary data collection will include household surveys, semi-structured key
informant interviews (Klls), and focus group discussions with different stakeholder
groups who have direct and indirect relations with the GHSA-RCCE. The baseline
survey will cover a sample of 480 Households (50% men) and (50% women if they
