The role:

Project summary 

1. The consultant will lead the development of a One Health systems map for schistosomiasis (SCH), producing a clear visual representation of interactions and integration opportunities across other parasitic disease programmes, human health, environmental health, and animal health. The map will provide a basis for policy engagement and development, and design of comprehensive approaches to elimination of schistosomiasis, and health systems strengthening. This work will explicitly engage both health and non-health sectors, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education, agriculture, and environmental management, and will incorporate critical linkages with nutrition as well as animal and zoonotic transmission and intervention pathways. The systems map will be complemented by a concise narrative based on a structured desk review of existing evidence, policies, and programmes, highlighting how cross-sector dynamics influence transmission and interventions. The initial analysis will be refined and validated through an in-country, multi-stakeholder workshop, ensuring the outputs are contextually grounded and support practical, integrated approaches to disease control and health system strengthening. 

1. Developing an impact framework for the various integration pathways identified in the systems map. This will support the ongoing work on documenting the value of integration for health systems, specifically elements not captured in standard economic analyses. 

1. Country specific analysis – grounding the above work within one country context through workshops and meetings to validate the systems map and impact framework. This may entail up to two weeks in Uganda.
