A travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source

A study and research allowance

Since the DAAD scholarship includes a full fee waiver, you must apply simultaneously for MIPLC financial assistance (cf. section 2a).

Eligibility Criteria

Please also refer to the brochure for “Development-Related Postgraduate Courses” for more information. Where MIPLC and DAAD requirements differ, the stricter one applies.

Associate, Primary Health Care (PHC) – 6 months at The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI): (Deadline Ongoing)

0

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.

The Government of Rwanda strives to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by enabling equitable access to quality health services for its population. Over the years, tremendous progress has been made in improving health outcomes in the country. Rwanda can lead the way to ensure that every Rwandan irrespective of where they live or the circumstances under which they live have access to quality health care without suffering financial hardship. The Fourth Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP IV) outlines clear goals, objectives and targets up to 2024 and the GoR also aim to achieve UHC as it works towards the Sustainable Development Goals and its Vision 2050.

Over several decades, Primary Health Care (PHC) has been identified as a vehicle for the attainment of greater coverage and equity. Improving primary health care, including essential public health functions, 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.

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. The scope of work can include but not limited to extensive stakeholder engagements and review of available strategies, the development of robust assessments and analyses, including costing and financing analysis, and report writing.

CHAI is seeking a highly analytical individual with outstanding interpersonal and communication skills. It is expected that the shape of the work will evolve over time and therefore the work will be fast paced and diverse and the position requires a strong ability to adapt and to think creatively. It also required the possession of strong research and planning skills. The Associate must be fluent in English and have excellent relationship building and communication skills. He or she must be able to function independently with minimal oversight 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:

1. Support high level government officials in 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:
