`Coordinator for PRIME –Nigeria,` `Abuja(For EU Nationals Only) +b`

Posted by: Alvean Fentener afentener@gfa-terra.de

Organization: GFA-Medica GmbH

For more information about the company, please consult our website: www.gfa-group.de

Job title: Co-ordinator for Partnership to Reinforce Immunisation Efficiency(PRIME)

Place assignment: Nigeria,Abuja

Job description: This job offer is limited to nationals of EU member states only.

Project Description: As a consequence of prolonged military rule resulting in a lack of infrastructure and necessary attention to childhood diseases, the burden of Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs) in Nigeria is today one of the highest in Africa. High immunisation coverage achieved in the early nineties has declined due to lack of ownership by the government and a withdrawal of donor support, to attain 14,3 % of fully vaccinated children under 12 months. With the return to democracy, the European Commission (EC) has begun to look into health among its areas of co-operation.

Immunisation has been chosen as a non-focal sector in the Country Support Strategy as it deserves support, in line with the Government commitment to invest on Primary Health Care, as a contribution to poverty alleviation. The "Partnership to Reinforce Immunisation Efficiency" (PRIME) will contribute to the reduction of the burden of VPDs. A first component will contribute significantly to the Polio Eradication Initiative (PEIi) by supporting supplies and implementation of the National Immunisation Days (NIDs). The second and main component of PRIME will contribute to revitalise the system for a sustainable delivery of routine immunisation in the six states chosen for support from the European Development Fund (EDF). It is expected to achieve the following results: (i) improved management of immunisation services, (ii) permanent availability to communities of safe and efficient immunization services, and (iii) improved co?ordination of stakeholders.

The project's strategies will consist in developing and strengthening management capacity at Local Government Area (LGA), State, and Federal level, while resources will be provided to facilitate immunisation service delivery. Through sliding support to State and LGA, the project's resources should contribute to a progressive increase of funds allocation and utilisation at these levels. Sustainability is expected to be triggered by a Change Agent Programme (CAP), which will empower people exposed to successful environment in immunisation, to act as catalysts of change in the areas where the project will be implemented. Sustained capacity building will be achieved by developing contractual relationships between the health system and health training institutions. Memorandum of Understanding between government tiers and sectors are expected to improve co-ordination and service delivery. The project will complement the support provided to immunisation by members of the inter-agency Co-ordinating Committee (ICC), of which the Commission will be a member.

Job Description: The overall objective of the services provided by the PRIME Co-ordinator is to assure the cohesion and efficient implementation of all activities supported by the Programme, their coherence, and their consistence with the health policies and interventions by the FMoH. Specifically, the PRIME Coordinator is expected to:

· In collaboration with the relevant health authorities, establish the PRIME in the targeted levels of government

· Advise the Ministries of Health on issues related to financing, planning, budgeting, and programming, and on all matters having an incidence on the economic sustainability of vaccination.

· In collaboration with the NPI, manage the mobilisation of PRIME support programmed under Federal level of the programme activities.

· Establish and direct the PRIME Management Unit

For more information about the company, please consult our website: www.gfa-group.de

Qualifications: Candidates for the post of PRIME Co-ordinator are expected to have the following profile:

-Degree in Economics to at least the masters level, with academic credentials in the area of health economics / health policy / health services financing.

-Fluency in English. Excellent writing and computer skills. Knowledge of accounting and financial management procedures.

-At least 10 years experience in health programming in developing countries including significant experience in international health project management and in health financing systems development. Previous working experience in a country with a federal type of government would be an asset.

- Excellent interpersonal communication, organisational, and problem solving skills, ability to work in a team and to achieve consensus, ability to exercise leadership, good diplomatic skills, commitment to social equity and human rights, and a high degree of motivation and personal initiative.

-Experience of EU or other external aid funded projects.

- National of one of the EU member states.

Starting date: Specific date please. Spring 2003

Salary range: Optional on your part to state

Deadline: 3 January 2003

Submit applications to: Dr. Edda Meinheit
