1 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Analyses of the Costs and Financing of Routine Immunization Programs and New Vaccine Introduction DEADLINE: FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012; 17:00 PST DAMIAN WALKER, SENIOR PROGRAM OFFICER GLOBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1

2 Analyses of the Costs and Financing of Routine Immunization Programs and New Vaccine Introduction Document Purpose OVERVIEW The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit consultant information, services information, and cost quotations in order for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the Foundation ) to identify several consultants ( Consultant ) to undertake two to three (2-3) analyses each of the costs and financing of routine immunization programs in countries that have introduced new vaccines in 2011, or that plan to introduce in early 2012; and to examine the costs of vaccine introduction, unit costs, and productivity as well. This would result in a total of six to eight (6-8) country studies total under this activity. Please note that consultant may refer to the potential provider of services which may, in this case, be a for-profit, not-for-profit, or academic institution. This RFP is intended to solicit proposals from organizations and researchers based in lower and middle-income countries and/or regions, in order to facilitate South-South learning and build capacity in undertaking cost and financing analyses. As one of the deliverables of this assessment, we would expect that there would be one, or more articles prepared for, and submitted to peer-reviewed journals. About the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people s health 2

3 and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people especially those with the fewest resources have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Based in Seattle, the foundation is led by CEO Jeff Raikes and co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett. Project Background The cost and financing of national immunization programs have been evaluated since the early 1980s, particularly as part of Universal Childhood Immunization (UCI) by Early estimates suggested that the cost per child fully immunized against tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and measles was $20 on average (Brenzel and Claquin, 1994). This average figure was confirmed in subsequent studies (Levin A and Kaddar M, 2000). However, around the time of the development of the GAVI Alliance Financial Sustainability Plan (FSP) and the subsequent comprehensive multi-year plan (cmyp) that evaluates current and future costs and financing of national immunization programs, the number of stand alone costing exercises of immunization service delivery has dwindled or the focus has shifted. This occurred at the same time as countries introduced new vaccines, and in many cases, multiple new vaccines. With the cmyp, countries estimate and plan for the national program resource requirements and financing. Estimates made in the baseline year are currently the most reliable source of information on program costs, and several papers have been written summarizing the results of analyses (WHO, Immnization Financing However, there is variability in how these figures are constructed, and whether they are based on input costing (economic costs) or reflect a summary of program expenditures (financial costs). Further, the results of the cmyps provide limited information on the delivery cost per dose or per 3

4 infant by type of vaccine (traditional or specific new vaccine). As such, it is challenging to raise resources to support ongoing routine program delivery costs without this information. In addition, the ability to understand the costs associated with introduction of new vaccines is limited, as the cmyp tool does not set aside a specific analysis of vaccine introduction costs. While the GAVI Alliance New Vaccine application does include a worksheet on the costs of new vaccine introduction (GAVI Alliance, it is generally believed that these under-estimate the true costs of new vaccine introduction. Therefore, despite various potential data sources on costs of routine immunization programs and vaccine introduction, reliability and validity of these data needs strengthening. There are few published articles on the costs of new vaccine introduction. Griffiths, et al (2009) estimated the cost of Hib vaccine introduction in Ethiopia as part of a Post-Introduction Evaluation (PIE) conducted with WHO. There is currently a set of new studies (unpublished at the time of this writing) on the introduction costs associated with Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) vaccine. Information regarding the financing of immunization programs also needs updating. One study (Lydon et al, 2008) found that governments contribute 42% of total financing for routine programs, and there is some recent unpublished evidence that government financing as a proportion of total financing may be increasing. However, there is limited information regarding government financing of vaccines. The main data sources are the WHO-UNICEF Joint Reporting Form and the cmyps. The GAVI Alliance Co-Financing Policy was adopted by the Board in 2006, implemented beginning in 2008, and subsequently revised in The current policy requires countries to co-procure between $010 and $0.30 per dose of their new vaccines depending upon their level of GNI/capita (GAVI Alliance 2011). Countries with a GNI/capita greater than $1500 that are graduating from GAVI Alliance must increase the amount paid per dose of vaccine by 20% per year in 4

5 order to be close to the expected market price at the time of graduation. Despite the relatively low unit prices required by countries under the Co-Financing Policy, some countries face challenges in meeting their requirements year after year, particularly when introducing more than one new vaccine. In addition, there is ad hoc evidence that countries may be paying for co-financing requirements at the expense of being able to fully finance traditional vaccines or other parts of their routine immunization program. Understanding the flow of financing for new vaccines will be critical for the sustainability of programs. Therefore, there is limited up-to-date knowledge on the full economic costs and financing of routine immunization, as well as the financial cost and financing of new vaccine introduction. The policy implications of having accurate cost and financing information are several. For instance, these data can be to improve planning of resource requirements and financing needs at the country level. Understanding the delivery costs associated with new vaccine introduction will be important for updating GAVI Alliance policies on new vaccine introduction support, and for domestic and external resource mobilization for routine programs. Documented information on financial flows for new vaccines and routine programs, particularly from government sources, will be useful inputs into policy dialogue on sustainability and co-financing of new vaccines. It is anticipated that these analyses will help shed light on areas where the cmyp costing and financing tool could be strengthened and also on how costing and financing analyses might be linked with the Post-Introduction Evaluations (PIEs) conducted in countries usually six months after new vaccine introduction ( This exercise will encompass 6-8 countries overall, with successful respondents to this RFP undertaking 2-3 country analyses each, either at national or sub-national levels as appropriate. Facilitation in working at the country level will come from partners, such as the WHO and UNICEF. 5

6 The purpose of this exercise will be to provide detailed estimates of routine program costs and financing primarily for routine programs that have introduced a new vaccine in 2011, and to provide estimates of the delivery costs of new vaccine introduction, unit costs and productivity as well. This exercise will examine recurrent inputs such as personnel, vaccines, injectables and other supplies, training and per diem, supervision, cold chain maintenance, maintenance of other equipment, social mobilization-advocacy, surveillance, program management, other operating costs; and capital inputs, such as cold chain, vehicles, and other associated capital costs. Analyses will be conducted in countries that have introduced one or more new vaccines in the previous year, particularly pneumococcal, rotavirus, meningitis A, and pentavalent vaccines. Because there are several ongoing efforts to estimate the introduction costs of HPV vaccines, these will not be included at this time. In addition to building the evidence-base on costing and financing of routine programs and new vaccine introduction, this exercise will also strengthen collaboration between in-country institutions, researchers, and international experts to build capacity to conduct cost and financing analyses of the NIP. The aim is to catalyze a longer-term process and investment on collecting and analyzing routine immunization program cost and financing information. The main questions to be addressed in these analyses are the following: 1. What is the total cost of the routine immunization program in countries that have introduced new vaccines (pentavalent, pneumococcal, rotavirus, and HPV)? 2. What is the cost structure (cost by line item) of total costs generated above, particularly cold chain recurrent and capital costs? 3. What are the delivery costs associated with the routine immunization program (delivery costs per dose, per infant) variation by level of output 6

7 4. What is the cost of vaccine introduction by major line item in countries that have introduced new vaccines? 5. What are the unit costs of the routine program and what are factors that drive this variation? 6. How do the costs of vaccine introduction compare with budgets for introduction? 7. What are the main sources of financing of the routine immunization program, and what are the sources of financing of vaccines as compared to operating costs and capital investments? 8. Are there any funding gaps or areas of the program that remain under-funded or unfunded? 9. How does productivity (doses/fte or other measure) of the routine program vary within the country, and what is the relationship between costs and levels of output? Project Scope Respondents to this RFP are expected to propose their approach for collecting and analyzing: 1) full economic and financial costs of the routine immunization program; 2) incremental costs and financing of new vaccine introduction; and, 3) financing of the routine immunization program in up to three selected countries that have introduced a new vaccine in 2011, or that plan to introduce in early 2012; and to examine the costs of vaccine introduction, unit costs, and productivity as well. Respondents may consider conducting a prospective analysis of new vaccine introduction in one country, either introducing a single new vaccine, or multiple new vaccines in the early part of Respondents should rely on internationally accepted and standard approaches for costing health and immunization services, such as the Guidelines for standardization of economic evaluations in the field of vaccine-preventable diseases (WHO/IVB/08.14); Immunization costing and financing: A tool and user guide for comprehensive Multi- 7

8 Year Plan (WHO/IVB/06.15); Guidelines for Estimating the Costs of Introducing New Vaccines into the National Immunization System ( (WHO, 2002); and, the OneHealth Model (IHP+). The analysis can entail collection of economic and financial costs. The WHO National Health Accounts methodology may be a useful starting point for evaluating funding flows for national programs though a full NHA for immunization programs is not envisioned. The analysis should include a survey of delivery sites as well as an analysis of administrative costs at national and sub-national levels. The aim of having a sample of delivery sites is to be able to explain variation in costs. Respondents should provide a description and rationale of selection of delivery sites and the proposed sampling frame. For budgeting purposes, a minimum of 25 facilities and a maximum of 50 facilities should be selected for data collection in each country. The respondent should provide an explanation as to why fewer or more facilities are required. Respondents are also to describe other information will need to be collected as explanatory factors related to immunization program costs and productivity, and how this information will be obtained and utilized in the analysis. Depending upon the countries selected, sub-national cost studies may be useful to conduct. The focus of this exercise is on routine program costs and financing, and excludes costs and financing of supplementary immunization activities (SIAs). The vaccine schedule associated with the routine program may vary by country. For instance, a relatively new vaccine that has been provided in a country for three years or more may be considered to be part of routine immunization for the purpose of this analysis. Annex 1 provides an initial list of countries that have introduced new vaccines in 2011 or are planning to introduce new vaccines in 2012 (WHO, 2012). The respondent should carefully consider the rationale for country selection. 8

9 Specific Tasks of the Successful Consultant(s): The successful Consultant(s) will be responsible for the following tasks: 1) Participate in all meetings (in-person and remote) convened by the Foundation regarding this exercise, including an initial launch/methodology workshop; a meeting pertaining to updating and reviewing progress; and a workshop to disseminate results. 2) Collaborate and participate in a review of methods developed and used over the years, and the methods proposed by each Consultant to generate a final methodology to be used for all of the country analyses. 3) Select countries and work collaboratively with the Ministry of Health, the National Immunization Program (NIP) management, partner agencies and other relevant stakeholders to successfully implement the exercise in each country. Obtain relevant clearances and IRB approvals to conduct data collection and analysis, as required. 4) Collect cost and financing information from a sample of health facilities and administrative units in 2-3 countries based on a sound sampling strategy developed as part of the initial launch workshop. Ensure highest quality and reliable data through quality control. 5) Undertake data entry and analysis of routine program costs and financing, and the costs and financing of new vaccine introduction in 2-3 selected countries using the final methodology: a) Estimate the total annual cost of the routine immunization program; b) Estimate and compare (across facilities or districts as relevant) unit costs of the routine immunization program, including cost per capita, cost per dose administered, cost per infant vaccinated, and cost per infant receiving the third dose of DTP. c) Estimate the total and unit costs of new vaccine introduction, including cost per infant and per dose of vaccine. 9

10 d) Estimate and compare a range of productivity parameters (across facilities or districts as relevant), such as cost/dose delivered; doses/full-time equivalent; and other possible indicators to be determined; and describe how explanatory factors will be utilized in the analysis. 6) Undertake a flow of funds analysis for the national immunization program, by identifying all sources and amounts of financing and for which aspects of the national (or sub-national) program, including sub-national sources of financing, and financing of cold chain costs. In addition, the source(s) of co-financing payment as well as for financing of traditional vaccines will also be a focus of this analysis. a) Estimate any financing gaps for the routine program (for the period of the analysis, 2011 or 2012). b) Estimate any financing gaps for new vaccine introduction (what the program would have undertaken had financing been available); 7) Conduct a series of comparisons of the cost and financing estimates, such as: a) Compare total costs and financing with country cmyp data to identify similarities and/or gaps, and areas that require further strengthening. b) Compare/contrast cost estimates in the most relevant version of the cmyp with the EPI budget and MOH budget (gazetted) to determine the extent to which estimated resource needs are potentially being financed by national government resources. c) Estimate the non-vaccine delivery costs associated with new vaccine introduction and compare these with the funds received from the GAVI Alliance for new vaccine introduction. d) Compare total and unit costs to government health expenditure and GDP in order to have a better picture of the affordability and sustainability of the program. 10

11 8) Conduct a qualitative/descriptive analysis of the planning and budgeting processes for routine immunization programs in selected countries. Describe resource mobilization and efficiency strategies of the national program. 9) Develop a draft report and annexes for review. 10) Prepare a final report for each country study that includes relevant background, objectives, methods, results, discussion, and conclusions/recommendations. 11) Prepare a powerpoint presentation summarizing the final country report. 12) Provide the data and databases generated for each country analysis.
