Job Profile
Public health efforts in a number of African countries are often compromised by limited access to quality diagnostic services and the poorest people lack the means to pay for the testing that is available. The AHDP intends to improve and extend healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa by leveraging the knowledge and expertise of the private sector, to improve testing, accuracy and availability of diagnostic services. Ministries of health and finance will directly benefit from the technical assistance and are key implementers of the AHDP.
The purpose of this TA operation is to support the preparation, implementation and subsequent monitoring of the AHDP projects in four new countries to the existing platform. Specific tasks will include feasibility studies, financial affordability analysis, budget and financing plans, tender documents and capacity building in project development, management and financing techniques.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate, and take positive steps to create an inclusive culture.
