MOH Construction Specification Review and Site Inspection

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

This is a new activity under COP09. The existing COP08 Ministry of Health/Planning and Program

Department (MOH/PPD) construction activity which supports the conversion/construction of Health Stations

to small, Nucleus B Health Centers, requires that specific construction, contracting and building

maintenance standards be met. This new activity will utilize a U. S. architecture and engineering (A&E)

firm, selected competitively, to work closely with the MOH/PPD's Project Management Unit (PMU), ensuring

that appropriate specifications are set for facilities during the design phase. The activity will then inspect the

finalized Health Centers, verifying that these attain the required standards for approval as set during the

specification phase.

This activity, under a pre-competed mechanism at USAID/Washington, will coordinate closely with the

follow-on Construction/Renovation Technical Assistance (TA) activity, ensuring that findings from

inspections and design reviews are communicated to the TA project, which will address any issues

identified in coordination with the MOH, providing TA and other assistance as appropriate to ensure that the

activities move forward.

If construction activities funded through PEPFAR and managed directly by the MOH/PPD are extended

beyond Nucleus B Health Centers, for example to include existing health centers and supply warehouses,

this activity would perform similar technical oversight functions with those facility improvement projects.
