The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by developing and increasing the capacity of health professionals with tailored development opportunities. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels, and professional development activities aimed at enhancing the technical and leadership skills of global health professionals.

BACKGROUND:

The USAID/Rwanda Health Office is looking to provide a Senior Technical Advisor for Health Management and Finance (Senior Advisor) to the Rwanda Ministry of Health (MOH). The Senior Advisor will provide technical assistance to support the development and institutionalization of integrated quality delivery of health services at decentralized levels, including the implementation of the national integrated supervision strategy and ongoing health care financing reforms, including Performance Based Financing (PBF).

The Senior Advisor will provide the MOH with technical assistance to develop a comprehensive approach to integrated supervision, employing an interactive and participatory process at the central level, bringing together different units and departments, and ensuring integrated planning and coordinated policy development and implementation. Linking these actions and practices to the MOH’s efforts towards decentralized health care financing schemes at the district and facility levels will substantially contribute to effective integrated supervision with high quality delivery of health services.

INTRODUCTION:

The Senior Advisor will work in close collaboration with the relevant MOH departments to provide strategic inputs to a comprehensive integrated supervision framework, coordinating integrated planning and implementation across the units and devising a model to link both facility and community health PBF schemes to integrated supportive supervision, accreditation, and quality assurance. S/he will receive overall guidance from USAID/Rwanda’s Health Systems Strengthening Team Leader and day to day guidance and direction from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health.

• Facilitate technical support, converging partners and relevant MOH units to design a model to link the financing of health facilities and Community Health Worker cooperatives to integrated supportive supervision based on a common set of qualitative and quantitative indicators through the various HMIS systems used by the MOH (SIScom, PBF systems)

• In collaboration with relevant MOH staff and other stakeholders, develop scopes of work and work plans that clearly define the implementation of integrated supervision with short and long range achievable benchmarks

• Work closely with the MOH head of Quality Improvement/Assurance and provide strategic advice on the management of the accreditation process of health facilities

• Identify and provide technical expertise required for field activities, prepare scopes of work, provide operational support, and review reports of field supervision visits

• Monitor programs’ progress in implementing tasks in accordance with national implementation plans and other agreements

• Perform other related duties as required

• Minimum of ten years’ relevant professional experience (includes health economics, health financing, decentralization, research, reform design and implementation, and community-based health insurance), including at least three years’ experience in international or resource challenged setting
