MENTALLY AWARE NIGERIA INITIATIVE (MANI)
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CAMPAIGN PLAN MIXED-METHOD STUDY)
1. Background
MANI is commissioning a national study on the state of youth mental health in Nigeria. The study should provide a clear picture of young people’s well-being, what helps or harms it, and how easily they can get support. Results will inform policy discussions (depending on findings), although we hope to use relevant findings to inform a national campaign on the integration of mental health into Nigeria’s education system; policy-level, institutional, and budgetary integration, not merely public awareness.
2. Purpose
Select a consultant/consultancy to design, conduct, analyse, and report a mixed-methods study that produces:
- A national report that is policy-focused and advocacy-ready, documents suitable for publication
- A journal manuscript draft.
- Short evidence briefs for decision-makers; and
- Clean datasets and documentation for MANI.
