CHAI RWANDA

JOB DESCRIPTION

Title: Program Analyst

Program: Sustainable Health Financing and PHC

Job Location: Kigali

Type: Full-Time

Employment arrangement: Secondment to Ministry of Health (MoH), Planning, HCF & M&E department

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 is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.




Program Overview:

The Government of Rwanda strives to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by enabling equitable access to quality health services for their population as outlined in the Fourth Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP IV). This commitment is made against a backdrop of rising health care costs and uncertainty around the future availability of donor funding. While Rwanda is often cited as an example for UHC in Sub-Saharan Africa, in part due to high rates of enrolment in the community-based health insurance (CBHI) scheme; the challenge will be to sustain these gains. Moreover, despite government’s commitment and gradual increment of domestic resource mobilization for health sector, sustainable financing of Primary Health Care (PHC) is among the priorities in the coming years to ensure UHC in the country. Acknowledging this, the Government aims to employ effective, equitable, efficient, and sustainable health care financing approaches and inform reforms of existing financing mechanisms including the national insurance scheme and other domestic resource mobilization mechanisms.

CHAI Rwanda’s Sustainable Health Financing (SHF) and PHC program works on a day-to-day basis with Government leadership in the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB). The goal of our program is to support the Government to sustainably finance health and improve access and quality of health services for all Rwandans and address key challenges in the health sector, towards the goal of UHC. This includes defining priority PHC services for the population; mobilizing and pooling resources for health; and improving the way those resources are spent to improve quality of care while controlling costs.




Position Overview:

CHAI Rwanda is seeking a Program analyst, Sustainable Health Financing and PHC, who will be seconded to MoH and will work closely with CHAI Rwanda team to assist on the growth of the SHF program in Rwanda. The Program analyst will focus support on improving primary health care, including essential public health functions, which is the most cost-effective way to save lives. Interventions at health centers and in communities can address an estimated 77 percent of maternal, newborn and child deaths and stillbirths, reduce inequities in health outcomes, and prevent people from being pushed into poverty from health spending. The systems created for PHC increase resiliency to disease outbreaks such as COVID-19. They also create a foundation that can be used to progressively expand service coverage from primary health care toward universal health coverage. In Rwanda, PHC is implemented through district health units that works as autonomous planning and implementation units for health facilities at the district, sector and cell levels and Community Health Workers.

CHAI is supporting the Rwanda Ministry of Health (MoH) to improve PHC as an effective engine for accelerating progress towards UHC. The objective of this work is to enhance and accelerate progress towards the HSSP IV targets and UHC. The assignment will also include support to various health financing reforms and operational improvement initiatives, including a provider payment reform for PHC and the revision of the CBHI benefit health package.

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated, entrepreneurial individual with outstanding program planning, health financing, management, analytical and communication skills to serve as an Program analyst for the Sustainable Health Financing team. The Program analyst must be fluent in English and have good relationship building and communication skills. They must be able to function independently with guidance and have a strong commitment to excellence with a keen eye for detail. CHAI places great value on resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, flexibility, independence, energy, work ethic and humility.

Responsibilities

The Program analyst will report to the heads of department, Planning, HCF and M&E at MoH and Sustainable Health Financing/PHC Program manager at CHAI. S/he will work in close collaboration and consultation with CHAI Rwanda SHF/PHC team program manager to utilize all the technical and financial resources to execute his/her responsibilities.

Program analyst’s major responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Work with MoH and across a range of relevant government institutions to identify key areas that require upgrades and improvements in primary health care, to develop a comprehensive long-term costed plan for driving these investments in and improving PHC, aligned with the vision and priorities of the Government of Rwanda. This will include a credible financing plan for how investments in the health system can be maximized and how external investments in systems can be sustained over time and support the implementation of the plan.
  • Engage with and collaborate with different departments within the Ministry of Health to facilitate alignment on key priorities for accelerating progress on the current health sector strategic plan. This will require activities including:
    • Assessment of current health sector policies, strategies, and plans to determine initiatives, interventions and activities that are planned, in the pipeline, being implemented or can be effectively and efficiently delivered at the PHC level.
    • Leveraging existing literature and available data to determine established targets, the status of progress towards targets and gaps across the health systems as related to PHC.

    • Develop a robust financing plan and facilitate stakeholder validation of plan, including the role for existing external financing to be re-aligned with this plan, for new external financing, and for increased domestic financing over time.
  • Support the government leadership in the design and implementation of health financing strategies, interventions, and reforms, including provider payment reforms for primary health care, priority setting and benefits package design, financial management, strengthening of donor coordination to support domestic resource mobilization and a sustainable transition towards greater self-reliance.

Kigali, Rwanda

Background:

Land O’Lakes Venture37 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping communities around the world build economies by strengthening agriculture from farm-to-fork, helping businesses grow, and linking farmers to markets. Since our start in 1981, we have been leveraging nearly 100 years of expertise in crop inputs, agricultural insights, dairy and animal nutrition from our close affiliate, Land O’Lakes, Inc., a farmer-owned agribusiness committed to fulfilling its purpose of feeding human progress.

Our team is made up of nearly 350 employees who are committed to market-led approaches, and passionate about collaborating locally to create lasting inclusive economic growth. By unlocking the potential of agriculture for the last 36 years, the lives of more than 3 million people have been transformed through nearly 300 programs in more than 80 countries.




 Projects Description:

Land O’Lakes Venture37 is implementing three projects in Rwanda the Cooperative Development Activity 4 (CD4), Rwanda Orora Wihaze (ROW) and Trade in Agriculture Safely and Efficiently (TRASE).

The project will run until December 2023 and is in its fourth year of implementation.

The project aims to improve capacity, the enabling environment, and resources to meet the evolving needs of their members.
  1. The Feed the Future Rwanda Orora Wihaze (Raise Animals for Self-Sufficiency) Activity is five-year (October 2019 – September 2024) Market System Development project that works with local partners and private sector actors in Rwanda to strengthen the animal sourced foods (ASF) market system. Implemented under a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) contract, the project works across 8 districts of Rwanda. The goal of Orora Wihaze is to sustainably increase the availability of access to, and consumption of ASF through the development of a profitable market. This will be achieved by a selection of interventions under two broad objectives i) Private Sector-Led ASF Value Chains Strengthened; ii) Increase Demand for ASF Consumption for Women and Children. To accomplish this goal, Orora Wihaze seeks to remove production, marketing and consumption constraints affecting dietary diversity of households, especially for women of reproductive age and children of 6-23 months. For households that do not produce or sell ASF, Orora Wihaze will enhance access to safe ASF through development of the existing market system.
  1. Trade of Agriculture Safely and Efficiently in East Africa (TRASE) is a USDA funded 4.5-year (ending in April 2024) which hopes to work with the target EAC countries to address various bottlenecks being faced because of the inefficient implementation of SPS measures that tend to impede trade rather than promote it.
