RFP- Development of a Mobile Application and Dashboard for Monitoring Nurse Practitioner Midwifery (NPM) and Midwifery Educators

1. Background

CECOEDECON works on issues related to gender, health, education, panchayats, agriculture and climate. CECOEDECON is the implementing partner of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Rajasthan for an integrated development programme towards addressing preventable maternal deaths, unmet need for family planning, gender-based violence and harmful practices such as child marriage and sex-selection.

Under the program as part of strengthening midwifery education and practice, the State has established National Midwifery Training Institutes (NMTIs), State Midwifery Training Institutes (SMTIs)and Midwifery Led Care Units (MLCUs) to train Nurse Practitioner Midwives (NPMs) under the guidance of Midwifery Educators(MEs).

To ensure standardized supervision, training quality anddata driven monitoring, there is a need for a digital monitoring and information system comprising a mobile application and webbased dashboard.

This system will enable tracking of training progress, clinical postings, mentoringand performance of both trainees and educators across institutions in real time.
