Job title:
Co-ordinator for Partnership to Reinforce Immunisation Efficiency(PRIME)
Place assignment:
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 coordination 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.
