Project:

Belgium, key player and historical donor in health, has supported the Health Sector of Rwanda with 13 million euros of sector budget support over the past 4 years. By doing so, it has contributed to the implementation of the Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP) I and II. Signatory of the SWAp MoU in Health, the Belgian Embassy acts as the chair of the Development Partners Group (DPG) and co-chair of the Health Sector Working group (HSWG). This implies the coordination and harmonization of all stakeholders involved in the health sector.

In the new Indicative Programme of Cooperation 2011-2014, signed between the Government of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Belgium, the support to the Health sector will continue through both sector budget support (32M €) and project support.

Function:

· Provide technical and policy advice to the Attaché with regard to his/her positioning on policy and political issues: o Provide the Attaché with an analysis of the health sector performance prior to both the Joint Health Sector Reviews (JHSR) and the Joint Budget Support Reviews (JBSR) and make sure that public health concerns are addressed. o Make sure that the new policies and/or critical issues raised in TWG meetings are brought up, in due time, to the attention of the Attaché. · Contribute actively to the existing technical coordination mechanisms (Groupe de Coordination Santé and Concertation Belgo-Rwandaise en Santé (CBR-Santé)) of the Belgian support to the Health sector so as to promote a shared vision and a coherent approach; including the scientific support dynamics. · Provide quarterly reports (2 progress reports, 1 annual report, 1 disbursement report) to the Attaché, the Resident Representative of BTC, and the Budget Support Working Group (DGD-BTC-Minister in Brussels) with regard to programme implementation and policy dialogue, as provided in the Vademecum for Budget Support. Quality assurance of the reports will be done first by the Departments of Expertise (for progress reporting) and Finance (for the disbursement reports) in BTC Brussels, then by the ResRep, who officially timely submits the reports to the Attaché. · In particular, for the disbursement report, the adviser will systematically check whether the conditions for disbursement as defined in the Specific Agreement are met. She/he will, after internal quality check, formulate a clear advice to the Attaché in this respect. The Attaché will submit the Report to the Inspector of Finance. · The Annual Report ensures that an updated description and analysis of the Rwandan health sector is available. · Support the implementation of the next health bilateral program as defined in the PIC 2011-2014, taking into account the evolution of international context. · Occasionally provide support upon request to health programmes within other partner countries of the Belgian Cooperation. · Occasionally participate in international seminars, conditioned by the approval of the ResRep of BTC and in consultation with the Attaché.

Support to the SWAP coordination mechanisms:

Support to the overall functioning of the Rwandan health system:

· Follow-up and analysis of the implementation of current Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP II) and contribute to the preparation and implementation of its successor plan (HSSP III). · Monitor identified risk factors and constructively collaborate with the partner authorities within the policy dialogue to implement mitigation actions, with a strong emphasis on the quality of health care at decentralized level. · In particular: o Pay attention that strategic plan implementation remains focused on quality improvement of the service delivery. o Facilitate the improvement of the monitoring and evaluation framework. o Contribute to institutional capacity development. o Monitor the effects of the HR policy at district level (eg. availability and turnover of staff in rural areas, training and accreditation of doctors in district hospitals, development of curricula of training schools, motivation strategies including the impact of PBF. o The development of an adapted package of care at different decentralized levels according to needs. o The quality of medicine. · Support coherence and linkage of the JHSS programme with the experience and outputs of partners as well as other relevant programmes and projects from other donors. · Promote action research and capitalisation of experiences that are relevant to further develop national policy.
