Position: Program Manager, Health Workforce

Team: CHAI Rwanda

Role: Full Time

Location: Kigali, Rwanda

Start date: 15 June 2020 (as soon as possible)

CHAI Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org.

CHAI Health Workforce Background:

A skilled health workforce is the backbone of every health system and therefore an essential precondition for progress toward universal health coverage (UHC). However, the WHO estimates that there is a global shortage of 17 million health workers. The gap is most acute in Africa (with a shortage of 4.2 million), which bears 24% of the global burden of disease yet has only 4% of the world’s health workforce.

CHAI assists governments to develop their health workforces by enhancing their capacity to train highly qualified health workers and by strengthening national systems to finance, deploy, and manage those health workers.

CHAI’s approach to national heath workforce strengthening emphasizes three strategies: (i) improving the quality and strategically increasing the scale of education for health workers, (ii) expanding and optimizing health workforce financing, and (iii) providing technical assistance to governments to strengthen their overall health workforce planning and management systems.

Two key principles guide CHAI’s approach to workforce development. The first is focusing on the right kind of health workers—from community health workers to midwives, nurses, health managers, general physicians and medical specialists—based on national need and service delivery objectives. CHAI’s approach also emphasizes sustainability by building the institutional capacity of the schools and universities where health workers are trained, training new generations of health professions educators, and developing systems and individual capabilities within governments to better plan and manage their own health workforces.

CHAI’s health workforce programs vary by country, as they reflect the major barriers and opportunities to workforce development in that specific context, as well as the priorities of the host government. Currently, CHAI is focused on health workforce programming in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Position Overview

The government of Rwanda has developed the National Strategy for Health Professions Development (NSHPD) 2020-2030, a 10-year plan to strengthen and expand the Rwandan health workforce though improved and expanded pre-service training. The strategy outlines national health workforce targets for 33 cadres of providers, and the necessary inputs to training institutions to scale up enrollment and graduation to meet those targets. The government has created a Human Resources for Health Secretariat (HRH Secretariat) to manage implementation of the strategy. The HRH Secretariat has requested CHAI’s support to set up the Secretariat team and functions, and initiate implementation of the NSHPD.

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical and managerial capabilities to lead a CHAI Rwanda Health Workforce team; manage day-to-day CHAI team program activities; and play a key role in relationship building with key stakeholders across the Rwandan government, education sector, INGOs, and academic partners in support of the NSHPD. The CHAI Rwanda Health Workforce team will work very closely with the HRH secretariat to ensure that essential functions are developed, and capacity built in the secretariat to independently manage routine operations of implementing the NSHPD. The Program Manager should have the technical skills to oversee and directly provide technical assistance to the HRH Secretariat not limited to the design and implementation of data collection and analysis processes, operational planning and costing, measurement and evaluation systems, intervention design for health worker training, and governance of health workforce development systems.

The desired candidate must be able to multi-task effectively and have experience managing staff and delegating responsibilities effectively. Candidates should also have experience managing relationships with high level government stakeholders and ideally will have worked in the field of health professional education or health workforce planning. Successful candidates must have a passion for results, a commitment to excellence, and a demonstrated capacity to work in high-stress environments.

Dimagi Project Manager based in Kigali

Duration: 24 months

Background and Context

Women for Women International (WfWI) is an international non-profit making organization committed to improving the lives of socially excluded and marginalized women in conflict and post-conflict settings. We were founded on the belief that stronger women build stronger nations.

In Rwanda, WfWI started its activities in 1997 and is currently operating in 11 districts of Bugesera, Gasabo, Huye, Kayonza, Kicukiro, Muhanga, Musanze, Ngororero, Nyabihu, Nyaruguru, Rwamagana.

Through all of our work, we aim to support progress in four key outcomes in women’s social and economic empowerment: that women earn and save money, develop health and well-being, influence decisions in their homes and communities, and that they can create and connect to networks for support.

WfWI invests in marginalized women, providing a 12-month social and economic empowerment program that combines awareness on women’s rights, health, and connection to networks, along with practical and technical business and vocational support. We aim to provide women with information about their rights, build their confidence, and provide opportunities for them to improve their health and well-being as well as earn and save money. WfWI also delivers complementary programs such as men’s engagement programs and grassroots advocacy.

Wherever possible, WfWI continues the support of women graduates of our programs, particularly those who have started individual or group businesses, associations, or cooperatives. The WfWI Rwanda team aims to ensure women’s self-sufficiency: how to earn an income, to become decision-makers, and how to strengthen their own social networks and safety networks that deal with challenges facing their families and communities.

Purpose

Dimagi Inc. has received funding from USAID to implement a project in partnership with Women for Women International (WfWI) and IDEO.org. This project seeks to provide an innovative mobile solution, chatbots, to better support women actively in the workforce and those women looking for ways to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.

Through the collaborative development of a novel chatbot called Coach Carene, the 3 partners will offer a way for participants and graduates of the WfWI program to continue to remain engaged in the program and further develop and apply the skills that they learned over the course of those 12 months.

Coach Carene will facilitate an interactive, demand-driven approach to disseminating information and creating dialogue so that women can receive coaching and advice in addition to being further connected to resources in their community after they have completed the 12-month empowerment program. This transformative way of communicating with communities will enable demand-driven communication at scale and bring significant scale efficiencies in the way development communication operations are set up. The 3 partners will work together to conduct light design research (more grounding in the needs of our target audiences) in Rwanda in order to better understand the requirements and opportunities needed to support women in their journey from the empowerment program into meaningful work. This will be accompanied by some capacity building and user testing with the end product being a locally appropriate and effective training approach.

Overview of the Role

The Project Coordinator/Manager will be WfWI’s main point of contact on this project and will be responsible for delivering on the goals and activities laid out in WfWI’s sub-contract with Dimagi Inc. WfWI’s responsibilities on the project are to:

• Contribute to the gathering of requirements
• Define content areas for the chatbot, based on beneficiary engagement
• Support the development of the prototype including the collection of feedback on the prototype at various stages
• Support the launch of the prototype
• Collect feedback from users
• Support the M&E plan development, implementation, and analysis
• Contribute to program documentation, learning, and dissemination
• Understand and contribute WfWI’s existing technical experience and grounded learning to the chatbot design process
• Support the process to define, understand and connect with the chatbot’s primary target group

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary technical link between the 3 partners: WfWI, Dimagi, and IDEO.org;
• Develop plans for field implementation of the project;
• Be part of the research team that will be field testing the app;
• Organize capacity building sessions in close collaboration with IDEO.org;
• Carries out regular monitoring and provide technical assistance to EE and M&E teams;
• Collaborates with M&E team in the development and execution of appropriate tools;
• Compiles regular reports with the support of the M&E team;

Skills & Qualifications:

• Holder of a Master’s degree in development studies, economics, statistics or any other related field with a minimum 7 years’ relevant work experience;
• Fluency with new and emerging technologies and their application to solving development challenges e.g. operating mobile apps, e-learning, SMS technology, etc.;
• Practical experience in the areas of research, information technology, software design/development, and artificial intelligence;
• Deep knowledge of women’s issues in the context of gender equality especially since WfWI in Rwanda serves marginalized women who are often illiterate, innumerate, living in extreme poverty and have been affected by violence;
• Exposure to and experience with training, curricula development and mentoring, with a focus on economic empowerment and poverty reduction, ideally with people similar to WfWI target group;
