Madagascar’s Ministry of Health (MSANP) has developed a new Health Sector Development Plan (PDSS) to guide health sector priorities over the coming years. Madagascar’s 2025–2029 PDSS serves as the national strategic framework for improving population health by strengthening health systems, ensuring equitable access to services, and advancing Universal Health Coverage.

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.
