Introduction
Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children, comprised of 29 international member organisations operating in over 68 countries. Save the Children UK (SCUK) is one of the member organisations.
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share. We save children’s lives. We fight for their rights. We help them fulfil their potential.

Background
The importance of health systems strengthening
Covid-19 has had major consequences for both health and social systems. We have seen major drawbacks in reaching the SDGs, impacting on children’s right in health, nutrition, education, social security etc. In order to overcome the health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to prepare for future pandemics, we need to ensure health systems worldwide become more resilient.
Health systems strengthening (HSS) is a key component for resilient health systems and the most sustainable approach to providing universal health coverage and primary health care for all children. Global health initiatives (GHI) such as the Gavi vaccine alliance (GAVI), the Global Financing Facility (GFF)and the Global Fund (GF), otherwise known as the 3Gs, have a big role to play. They have historically proven to be effective and efficient in building strong and resilient health systems.
The 3Gs have played a significant part in leading their respective pillars in the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) to provide interventions to LMICs in the fight against COVID-19. The Health System and Response Connector (HSRC) Pillar, supported by the Global Fund and the GFF is the least funded of the pillars yet has a significant role to play in providing health systems support to LMICs.
We need to ensure that appropriate financing and policy support is provided to allow for the 3Gs to scale up and expand their engagement in HSS in all the countries they support.
Service requirements
We are seeking to commission this policy brief for advocacy purposes targeted at key global health milestone such as the Germany’s presidency of the G7 in 2022, and to also feed into our broader health policy and financing asks.
- To produce a health policy and financing policy brief to influence the G7, demonstrating how HSS is crucial for strong and resilient health systems and what actions need to be taken to ensure HSS continues to be a priority.
- To draw on and collate data from various sources, looking at the G7s engagement in the 3Gs HSS efforts (via ODA) with a focus on Germany, UK, US, Canada and Japan.
- To do an analysis of 3Gs HSS engagement to understand what the trends are and where the gaps still remain in ensuring equitable health provision for all.
- Top line research of how ACT-A could contribute to sustainable, long term health systems benefits.
- Use the analysis above to synthesise recommendations for investment in the 3Gs generally and provide top line recommendations to the 3Gs
- Knowledge of major trends and issues in health systems strengthening, especially as they pertain to the 3Gs, and previous experience producing high-quality written materials for humanitarian and development policy audiences.
- Prior knowledge and experience of working with the 3Gs would be an advantage.
- Demonstrated experience in policy and advocacy, including carrying out policy research
- Proven leadership in developing advocacy strategies and approaches

- A 10-15 Pages policy brief or small study (with introduction, country and institutions case studies and recommendations for policy makers and other key stakeholders)
- Why are strong and resilient health systems key (Covid-19, Pandemic Preparedness / Building Back Better). GHI engagement in HSS key. (2 pages)
- 5 Country Studies: GER, UK, US, CAN, JAP contribution to 3Gs (via ODA). Summarise how each country has invested in HSS and track how the 3Gs have invested in HSS (half a page each)
- Present 2-3 successful areas of HSS engagement for each GHI in the implementing countries (2 – 3 pages)
- Top-line analysis of role and contribution of the 3 GS on HSS through the ACT-A and HSRC (use visualisation, 1 page)
- Recommendations: to include asks for increased funding and prioritisation of HSS for 3Gs engagement in HSS (if appropriate) and policy recommendations for the 3Gs (2-3 pages).
- Expected days required: 10 – 15
- Potential timeline:
- January 2021: 2 months work on it (use some preliminary findings for replenishment moments, as GFF is looking to mobilize 1.2 billion USD by March 2022)
- End of February 2022: Save the Children review
- 1st week of March: 2nd round for consultancy
- March/ April 2022: Final version
