The overall objective of the consultancy is to produce a complete, accurate, and actionable costing of the PDSS, including scenario-based analyses and an assessment of financing gaps. Specifically, the consultant shall develop a participatory costing methodology aligned with best international tools (e.g., OneHealth Tool or equivalent); establish benchmarks, leading to comprehensive costing PDSS strategic pillars, programs, and system-strengthening activities; identify funding gaps based on projected domestic and external resources; and propose actionable recommendations for prioritization and financial sustainability over the next 5 years.
