Liberia: Director - Health Systems Policy and Planning

Organization: Tiyatien Health
Country: Liberia
Closing date: 02 Mar 2015

Director, Health Systems Policy and Planning

ABOUT LAST MILE HEALTH

Founded by survivors of Liberia’s civil war, Last Mile Health (LMH) (known in Liberia as Tiyatien Health) is committed to saving lives in the world’s most remote villages. Working in remote jungle communities cut off from even basic life-saving health services, LMH is building a health system that reaches everyone—by bringing health care to villagers’ doorsteps. LMH trains community members to be health practitioners for their villages and connects them with rural health clinics to offer every person access to the care they deserve. These Frontline Health Workers are able to prevent, diagnose, and treat the top ten most life-threatening health conditions. LMH plans to leverage this experience to help the Liberian government design, deploy and sustain a national network of community health workers that can have a transformative impact on maternal and child health outcomes across Liberia.

Over the past six months, an unprecedented Ebola outbreak has demonstrated that weak, inequitable health systems leave everyone vulnerable. To match a historic crisis with a historic response, LMH is launching a significant expansion of the organization’s rural healthcare model, integrated with a package of Ebola treatment and health facility strengthening efforts across the southeast. This project aims to deploy a comprehensive health system—from life-saving essential primary care services in remote communities to inpatient Ebola treatment and tertiary care in health facilities—and to work with the Liberian government to sustain that system and expand it to the rest of the country in the coming years.

GENERAL POSITION SUMMARY:

LMH is building a health systems policy and planning team, based in Liberia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) in Monrovia. This team will provide technical support to the MOH to marshal a comprehensive Ebola outbreak and transition response that strengthens the overall health system in the long-term for everyone’s benefit – no matter where they live. LMH will help design and implement a nation-wide Community Health Worker program and ensure national health system improvements are realized at the community level. To achieve this, a health systems policy and planning team consisting of highly-motivated, diplomatic, and experienced specialists will provide technical advice to MOH officials, support the implementation of community health programs in coordination with other NGO and institutional partners, conduct focused capacity-building projects, and provide long-term analysis and thought leadership for the Liberian public health system.

The Director of the Health Systems Policy and Planning team will be a trusted advisor and the principal institutional liaison to senior MOHSW officials, as well as provide technical leadership and management to the team itself. The Director will help the MOHSW direct attention and resources towards national community health priorities outlined in the national Community Health Roadmap such as national deployment of community health workers. The Director will initiate and steer new projects, leverage the appropriate expertise within the Health Systems Policy and Planning team to ensure these priorities are featured in the government’s decisions ranging from health financing, human resources for health, and clinical protocols.

Kenya: East Africa Policy Director

Organization: One Acre Fund
Country: Kenya
Closing date: 03 Jan 2015

Private-sector style career development in a growing social enterprise
An excellent career development opportunity

Industry: Nonprofit/International Development
Function: Government/Policy
Employer: One Acre Fund
Job Title: East Africa Policy Director
Job Location: East African capital city, preferably Nairobi

Duration: Minimum 2 years commitment, full-time job

Organization Description

Most of the world's poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform group of poor people in the world. One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre Fund invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a "market bundle" that includes education, finance, seed and fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure 50-100% average gain in farm income per acre. We have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve.

We are growing quickly. In eight years, we have grown to serve 180,000 farm families with more than 2000 full-time field staff. Our approach has won widespread validation, winning grants from The MasterCard Foundation and Gates Foundation. Website: www.oneacrefund.org. [Second paragraph not included in website job descriptions]

Job DescriptionOne Acre Fund stays in regular contact and collaborates with the Ministries of Agriculture in the countries where we work. There is significant programmatic benefit from maintaining regular contact with ministry officials. We also believe that there exist powerful opportunities to partner with the Ministries to both shape policy, and also implement effective policy, coordinated together with our significant field presence.

We are seeking a policy director to be based in East Africa, to help manage our increasing African government–facing organization. This person would collaborate together with our overall Policy and Outreach director, based in New York. There are several major duties:
Staff hiring/growth, management, and professional development:

  • We currently have two national–level government relations analysts, and six local–level government relations analysts. This staff meets quarterly with well over 100 government officials, to keep them engaged in our work and to hear their feedback.
  • In the next three years, we expect to at least double our staffing. The director will lead the search and selection process, to build a staff underneath them.
  • We wish to re–invest in the day–to–day mentorship and career development of all of our government relations staff. The director will lead efforts to continually develop our staff.
  • Management: we also hope to put additional structure and organization around our efforts, as our government work grows more complex over more countries.

Scope expansion:

  • The Director will lead potential scope expansions. One idea is the possible expansion of regular networking to a broader network of policy–relevant civil society actors. Another idea is deeper government collaboration on a day–to–day basis, in the actual implementation of policy.

Career Growth and Development

One Acre Fund invests in building management and leadership skills. Your manager will invest significant time in your career development. We provide constant, actionable feedback delivered through mentorship and through regular management consulting-style career reviews. We also have regular one-on-one meetings, where we listen to and discuss career goals, and work collaboratively to craft roles that each person can be passionate about. Because of our rapid growth, we constantly have new high-level roles opening up and opportunities in many functions. This results in fast career growth for our staff.

Qualifications

We are seeking an exceptional professional with 4 to 8+ years of work experience. We are looking for truly extraordinary candidates that will help take our organization to the next levels of impact and scale. This is a competitive posting for a career–track role with minimum initial commitment of two years. Candidates who fit the following criteria are strongly encouraged to apply:

  • Experience managing and developing a team of people.
  • Strong work experiences. We are looking for a former policy professional, economist, management consultant, or finance professional. Entrepreneurial and unstructured work experiences are also helpful
