Triggerise
Request For Proposal Client Exit Interview Surveys Kenya
Background
Triggerise is an organization that uses its digital platform, Tiko, to motivate young people to make positive choices. Triggerise’s adolescent programme in Kenya uses a digital platform, known as Tiko, to enable young people between 15 and 24 years to access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. The platform connects young people to service providers and uses a range of behavioral interventions to support and reinforce positive, health-seeking behavior. We aim to improve SRH trends while empowering young people to make decisions about their sexual health. Triggerise ’s approach is to use the Tiko platform to support an ecosystem of different actors who act to inform, support, and encourage young people to take up SRH services. This ecosystem creates positive feedback loops where young people are able to access better information and, thus, make better decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
Scope of Work
Triggerise seeks a consultant (s) to conduct monthly and quarterly client exit interview interviews (CEIs)’s in participating public health facilities, private clinics and pharmacies in Kenya. We seek a consultant (s) to conduct this exercise which is separated into two as indicated:

The counties of focus for the survey are
- Quarterly CEIs: Further, we seek to conduct quarterly client exit interview surveys (CEIs) in 6 counties (Kilifi, Kajiado, Machakos, Nakuru, Vihiga and Siaya) in Kenya. This data will help us to monitor and evaluate the quality of services provided in participating facilities
We invite consultant (s) to bid for these two pieces of work separately - consultants are free to bid for both opportunities but must submit two separate proposals
The consultant (s) will conduct data collection using an app/ platform to be provided by Triggerise.
