CONCLUSION OF ICT4SOML RESPONE
We are cognizant of the fact that the ToR as developed by Dr. Azodoh seems focused on what we believe that are staff on this activity should have or be able to do
We also think some of the activities described in the ToR run counter to the objectives and direction of the project and may not be justifiable/allowable expenses (e.g. Norad has funded us to support the development of the HICT-F, we find it difficult to justify paying a consultants ? who have no idea of the history or process ? to review the near end document)
Consequently:
We cannot fund some parts of the ToR within the mandate and structure of our project
However, we can fund consultant(s) to support the presentation of the HICT-F to and capture of feedback from states; alignment of such feedback on the HICT-F with the NHAct & production of a detailed report on synergies / gaps between the HICT-F and the NHAct with appropriate recommendations
So we would want the ToR tweaked to reflect that the consultant(s) will work before, during & after the state engagement meeting         
Once we achieve concurrence by all on the ToR, we will put same out and go through the recruitment process as appropriate i.e. working in conjunction with the FMoH DPRS
Qualifications
Guiding Principles

 The following principles constitute the core values which underpin this Technical Assistance support activity:
Alignment and Country Ownership: the approach used will be underscored by reviewing the NHAct and providing evidence of country ownership.
 Leveraging the Private sector: leverage investment of the private sector at local government, state and national levels.
Selectivity and Complementarity: ICT will be anchored on the FMOH?s strategic operational priorities and the development challenges facing health. Support will be based on an integrated approach and selectivity taking into account complementarities with other actors including the private sector.

Catalytic Role: This consultancy should help identify how the FMOH can continue to play a catalytic and convening role to leverage enhanced access to information and knowledge resources for ICT support for health sector development in Nigeria and ensure sustainable and predictable financing after the end of the current supporting project.
Modularity: ICT Intervention in the health sector will be modular and incremental in order to provide for flexibility and replication of best practices. Modularity will ensure a more responsive, dynamic, scalable and flexible operations in the eHealth activities.
Integrated approach: The work will be based on an integrated approach that builds synergy among different sectors to maximize development impact.
National focus: The approach should encourage national programs that promote cooperation and bring sustainable results at national level.
