Technical Assistance Plan. MCDI headquarters staff providing technical assistance and backstopping to the field project include the Child Survival Coordinator and the Senior Project Officers. In addition, staff members of Oakford Clinic, TREE, the Diakonia Council of Churches, Sinosizo, the KZN Faith Based AIDS Forum eKhaya Project, the University of Natal Center for Rural Development, the University of Natal Department of Virology, and DramAidE will devote time on an as needed basis to facilitate training sessions, workshops and meetings. In addition to the substantial technical assistance to be provided to project activities by Provincial DOH officials, and other partners as described above and elsewhere in this document, the NDCSP will contract for some specialized assistance. Consultants who will provide technical assistance to the project during Phase II include Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, an Independent Consultant who has worked with the project since its inception. Xx Xxxxxx has a PhD in Social Anthropology, University of Michigan and extensive experience designing, managing, and evaluating child survival projects. Her special interests include BCC and maternal and newborn care. Xx Xxxxxx will work with the project to finalize the Wealth Ranking and GAPS Analysis tools, and will assist in qualitative formative research. Dr Xxxxxx Xxxxx, currently at Harvard University has over 20 years experience working with HIV/AIDS in Africa. He is the Principle Investigator for the Traditional Healers project currently underway in Ndwedwe, and will support the NDCSP in developing follow on activities based on the current research findings. Xx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, a Senior Health Economist, is XXXX’s Sustainability Advisor. Xx Xxxxxxx will support the staff in conducting cost effectiveness analyses (i.e., of financial sustainability) of community-based activities such as those carried out by HBCVs. In addition, the project will explore the feasibility of working with an Organizational Development consultant in support of the project’s local partners. Again, this would be with a view towards ensuring the sustainability of the work of our local partners following completion of the NDCSP.
