JOB DESCRIPTION

 TITLE: Analyst

Program: Primary Health Care

Job Location: Kigali

Type: Short term contract, Full-Time Paid (June -December2021)

Start date: Immediate.

 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.

Position

CHAI seeks an Analyst who will be supporting a team working with the MoH and 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 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. 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.

Le Centre d’étude et de coopération internationale (CECI) est une organisation canadienne sans but lucratif fondée en 1958, dont le siège social est situé à Montréal. Depuis sa création, la mission du CECI a été de combattre la pauvreté, l’exclusion et les inégalités. A cette fin, le CECI vise à améliorer le bien-être économique et social des personnes les plus pauvres et les plus marginalisées en Afrique, en Asie et dans les Amériques, grâce à l’appui de volontaires. Le CECI vise particulièrement à renforcer la place et le leadership des femmes et des jeunes femmes comme actrices de changement pour un développement durable et inclusif. En partageant leurs compétences et leurs expertises, et en travaillant en étroite collaboration avec des partenaires locaux, les volontaires du CECI contribuent à renforcer le pouvoir économique des femmes et des jeunes femmes et la résilience des communautés face aux changements climatiques.

Au Rwanda, le CECI appuie le renforcement du pouvoir économique des femmes vulnérables : les agricultrices et les éleveuses, les entrepreneurs, les femmes cheffes de ménage et les jeunes mères célibataires, les femmes et jeunes femmes vivant dans les camps de réfugié-e-s ou faisant du commerce transfrontalier. Même si des progrès considérables ont été réalisés pour l’égalité des genres au Rwanda, notamment au niveau politique, la situation des femmes au sein de leur foyer est moins reluisante. Les volontaires du CECI travaillent en collaboration avec des organisations de la société civile afin d’améliorer les opportunités économiques des femmes. En collaboration avec des organisations locales de défense des droits des femmes, les volontaires soutiennent aussi la création d’un environnement favorable à l’égalité des genres.

Avis de recrutement des volontaires

Titre poste : Conseiller-ère en gestion et développement d’entreprises  agricoles

TYPE: Mandat National

Lieu :  Kigali avec les deplacements à l’interieur du pays

Durée : Maximum de 6 mois à partir du mois de Juillet 2021

Le Centre d’étude et de coopération internationale (CECI) est une organisation canadienne sans but lucratif fondée en 1958, dont le siège social est situé à Montréal. Depuis sa création, la mission du CECI a été de combattre la pauvreté, l’exclusion et les inégalités. A cette fin, le CECI vise à améliorer le bien-être économique et social des personnes les plus pauvres et les plus marginalisées en Afrique, en Asie et dans les Amériques, grâce à l’appui de volontaires. Le CECI vise particulièrement à renforcer la place et le leadership des femmes et des jeunes femmes comme actrices de changement pour un développement durable et inclusif. En partageant leurs compétences et leurs expertises, et en travaillant en étroite collaboration avec des partenaires locaux, les volontaires du CECI contribuent à renforcer le pouvoir économique des femmes et des jeunes femmes et la résilience des communautés face aux changements climatiques.

Au Rwanda, le CECI appuie le renforcement du pouvoir économique des femmes vulnérables : les agricultrices et les éleveuses, les entrepreneurs, les femmes cheffes de ménage et les jeunes mères célibataires, les femmes et jeunes femmes vivant dans les camps de réfugié-e-s ou faisant du commerce transfrontalier. Même si des progrès considérables ont été réalisés pour l’égalité des genres au Rwanda, notamment au niveau politique, la situation des femmes au sein de leur foyer est moins reluisante. Les volontaires du CECI travaillent en collaboration avec des organisations de la société civile afin d’améliorer les opportunités économiques des femmes. En collaboration avec des organisations locales de défense des droits des femmes, les volontaires soutiennent aussi la création d’un environnement favorable à l’égalité des genres.

Partenaire:  Association de coopération et de recherche pour le développement (ACORD)

ACORD Rwanda a récemment lancé une initiative de renforcement du pouvoir économique des femmes agricultrices et de leurs capacités de résilience face à la pandémie de Ccovid 19 et aux chocs climatiques. Ce projet, qui s’attaque à une triple problématique (agricole, contrôle des revenus des ménages par les hommes, résilience aux chocs et impacts de COVID-19), est mis en oeuvre dans deux secteurs (Muko et Gataraga) du district de Musanze, dans la province du Nord du Rwanda. Ce projet aborde la résilience des femmes agricultrices engagées dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement horticole (prunier) pour soutenir la résilience de leur entreprise grâce au développement de compétences, à la fourniture d’intrants, à la manutention des équipements et au traitement et stockage après récolte. Cela leur permettra alors de retrouver l’accès aux marchés, de récupérer des revenus et une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle.

Ce groupe cible de femmes dans la province du Nord a besoin non seulement d’un accompagnement technique en rapport avec leur activité de culture du prunier, mais aussi elles ont besoin d’une meilleure e la maîtrise des enjeux et des opérations au long de la chaîne de valeurs, y compris l’accès aux ressources productives, la gestion de la production, le stockage, la transformation, le marché d’écoulement de la récolte, etc.. L’appui d’une personne Nous pensons qu’un volontaire est souhaitée peut les aider à asseoirassoir  afin de maximiser les différentes une stratégies permettant une meilleur de gestion de leur entreprise, des scénarios de maximisation des avantages, e

Cette modélisation devra tenir compte des risques et des imprévus et proposer des options et des alternatives.

Les FA ont besoin d’une vision économique claire de ce qui les attend une fois que la production sera prête. Quelles options existent pour ces opérations post récoltes et à quels coûts ?
• les débouchés, la vente et la distribution : quelsque sont les facteurs de décision sur les débouchés ?  Est-ce que la transformation est une option faisable pour les FA ? les FA ont besoin de stratégies en anticipation de marché de leurs récoltes de pruniers.
