.. 1. Purpose of the consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to plan and facilitate a 5-day in-person workshop on the OneHealth Tool (OHT) in Malaysia for the Ministry of Health (MOH). The workshop aims to equip participants with the technical skills to independently use the OHT, generate data to support programmatic planning proposals, conduct appropriate analysis to support national health strategic planning in terms of workforce and budget, and share their knowledge with other MOH staff and train new users. 2. Background The OneHealth Tool is a software tool designed to inform national strategic health planning, which attempts to link strategic objectives and targets of disease control and prevention programmes to the required investments in health systems. The tool provides planners with a single framework for scenario analysis, costing, health impact analysis, budgeting and financing of strategies for all major diseases and health system components. The Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia has requested WHO support to develop the MOH staff capacity on the use of the OHT. The ability to independently conduct projection analysis would empower the technical officers to identify service areas that need restructuring, as well as to define the required human resources and budgetary allocations. It is expected that the ability to use the OHT will support the MOH technical units in strategic planning. In this context, a capacity building workshop will be held in Malaysia in September 2023 to provide an introductory training on the tool and to facilitate discussions around how OHT can be used to inform the planning process. This will include an in-person hands-on training on the tool over a 5-day-long training workshop, followed by supplementary remote support to the participants. 3.
