The St. Francis Referral Hospital (SFRH) is located in Ifakara, Southern Tanzania and has a capacity of 400 beds and attracts approximately 700,000 referral patients per year from Kilombero and other neighbouring districts. The hospital is connected historically and operationally to a number of other health institutions. All the local partner institutions depend on each other in order to be able to act as a platform for health care, training and research. Through the support of volunteers there is real potential to strengthen Ifakara as a centre of excellence in healthcare, training and research.

In order to allow the hospital to fulfill its role as a regional referral and teaching hospital, quality of services need to be improved through better infrastructure, strengthening of the financial and human resource management and by ensuring availability of qualified staff, equipment and drugs. Swiss Development Cooperation and VSO are supporting the SFRH to improve its quality of healthcare services in a sustainable way by offering accessible and affordable quality services to the population and providing excellent training and research opportunities to the local partner institutions. Based in St. Francis Referral Hospital as Infrastructure Maintenance Specialist you will work in a consultancy capacity closely with the hospital administrator and technical advisory management team to improve the quality of services.

And the rest....

Ifakara in the south of Tanzania is an authentic savannah grassland area that is green during the rainy season and brown in the dry season. Daytime temperatures vary between 32-39 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Southern Tanzania is home to some of Africa's best national parks and game reserves. There is some good hiking around Mbeya, the largest town in the southwest, but it's the country's two largest parks, Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve that provide the most awe-inspiring encounters with lions, elephants and wildebeests. Mikumi is a smaller national park, but its proximity to Dar es Salaam makes it handy for those without the time for the full safari but who still want to see some wildlife. While on placement, we'll ask you to commit to 12 weeks per year for up to 3 years to make a sustainable contribution. In return, we'll give you comprehensive financial, personal and professional support. We'll provide you with extensive training including language classes before your placement, and our financial package includes a local living allowance, return flights, accommodation, insurance and more.

Most of our work is delivered by talented, dedicated volunteers.

We are currently recruiting for Volunteer Peer Educators.

Restless Development will be implementing the Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) − an integrated Leadership, Livelihoods, and SRH education programme – in rural communities of Kamuli, Mayuge, Kaliro, Iganga, Kayunga and rural Jinja.

Are you a Ugandan aged 18-25?  Are you interested in health and livelihood development issues?  Are you committed to the principle of volunteering to support community development?  Are you available?  

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER PEER EDUCATOR APPLICATION FORM

Restless Development (Uganda) is a leading youth-led development organisation that places young people at the forefront of change and development.  Since 1997, Restless Development has demonstrated, through a variety of innovative, youth-led programmes, the importance of young Ugandans leading development in fields such as rural livelihoods, sexual reproductive health, peace building and community development.  Restless Development is a locally registered NGO, affiliated to the internationally registered NGO Restless Development (International).  

Restless Development launched its new 5-year national strategy on October 1st 2010; it is looking to recruit enthusiastic and self-motivated young adults to lead the implementation of the Direct Delivery component of the Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) in the Eastern region of Uganda.  


DO YOU WANT TO BE A VOLUNTEER ON THE RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME (YEP) FROM JANUARY TO JUNE 2012?

Are you between 18 and 25 years old with O-Level, A-level or University qualifications?

If so, Restless Development is recruiting energetic, committed young adults like you (with a minimum S4 qualification) as National Volunteer Peer Educators (NVPEs).  In this role you will be the grassroots implementers of the YEP within Kayunga, Kaliro, Iganga, Mayuge, Kamuli and rural Jinja districts.

Selected NVPEs will participate in an intensive 4 week training designed to equip them with the skills and knowledge to deliver the YEP alongside Community and International VPEs. They will live and work full-time in their respective communities for a period of 6 months, engaging in-school and out-of-school youth through livelihood, sexual reproductive health and life skills education.

WHAT WILL IT INVOLVE?

Training
The aims of the training are:
•    To provide VPEs with information and knowledge relevant to carrying out the programmes and work assigned to them
•    To provide skills and methods necessary to best deliver, monitor and evaluate the programmes
•    To impact on the life of each VPE through improvement in knowledge, skills and personal behaviors.  Also, this training will help VPEs develop their own life skills and professional abilities by empowering them to take up leadership roles and livelihood opportunities through training and practical experience.

Placement

If successful in this application, you will work for 6 months in your community.  You will be expected to live and work there full-time with other Community and International VPEs.  And because your team will be from very different backgrounds, you will also be expected to learn and accept individual differences and work together as a TEAM.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

You will be based in the community leading the implementation of the YEP.  You will be expected to work with the existing community structures including schools, sub-county government departments, community groups and youth groups on a daily basis.  You will teach non-formal health, life skills, agro-livelihood, gender and career lessons to in- and out-of-school youth, train groups of out-of-school youth in farming and business skills, develop activities to build their life skills and organise events to raise awareness of priority community issues.

WILL YOU GET PAID?

To be accepted on the programme, you must be willing to be a VOLUNTEER.  This means you WILL NOT GET PAID but you will receive a subsistence allowance.

WHAT WILL RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT EXPECT OF YOU?
1.    To work as a team and be collectively accountable for all Restless Development activities in your community.
2.    To abide by Restless Development’s values, volunteer code of conduct, and all the policies governing Restless Development’s VPEs.
3.    To pay for, and make your own way to the Selection Day.
4.    If selected, to transport yourself to the training venue before the programme begins and home once it ends.
5.    To remain on the programme for the full 6 months.  You will only be allowed to leave if you have time off that has been agreed upon by Restless Development and your placement partners.
6.    To pay for your own transport and activities should you wish to travel during approved time off.
7.    To build the capacity of existing community structures including youth groups to lead the implementation of the activities when Restless Development pulls-out of the community.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT (UGANDA)?
1.    Four weeks training as mentioned above.  However, during this period you will receive NO allowance as everything including meals, accommodation and medical treatment will be provided.
2.    Restless Development will sensitise and prepare the community to receive the VPEs and to support the implementation of the programme.  This will include ensuring that the house for accommodation and household items (like cooking utensils, etc.) are ready before you arrive on the programme.
3.    Restless Development will provide a small, monthly subsistence allowance to each VPE.  It is important to note that this is not a wage/salary but an out-of-pocket to cater for some of your personal needs.
4.    Restless Development will provide micro and activity money to allow you to plan and conduct the proposed activities.
5.    Restless Development’s programme team will conduct monthly Support & Supervision visits to all volunteer placement communities to check on progress and provide needed support.
6.    An end of programme debrief session will take place where you will have the opportunity to provide your feedback for incorporation into future programming.  Also, you will benefit from a career development session to build your capacity in seeking further employment.  
7.    On completion of the programme, you will receive a certificate confirming your completion of a 4 weeks intensive training and 6 months rural community programme.

Clinton Health Access Initiative

Volunteer Health Financing Analyst

Job Location:      Lusaka, Zambia     

Type:      Volunteer

Business Unit:      Value for Money         

More information about this job:

Overview:

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) assists governments to promote high quality health care. CHAI teams work in partnership with the government, partners, and other major stakeholders to identify the key obstacles to access and scale-up of essential health services, and to develop sustainable strategies to overcome them.  CHAI has recently made a strategic decision to focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of HIV-related funding in several countries.  This initiative is referred to as the Efficiency and Effectiveness (E2) or the Value for Money initiative.

Responsibilities:

Summary of Position:

The Clinton Health Access Initiative is looking for a Volunteer Health Financing Analyst to assist the Zambian government in addressing significant funding shortfalls in their HIV programming, and to provide assistance in optimizing use of financial resources available for HIV/AIDS.

Zambia faces significant funding challenges and the Efficiency and Effective initiative seeks to address these funding challenges through the identification of funding inefficiencies and optimization of spending on HIV.

CHAI works in close partnership with the Ministry of Health (MOH), procuring pediatric and second line ARVs, and providing technical assistance in a variety of areas. Alongside the teams executing on this existing work, the Volunteer Health Financing Analyst will provide critical support in the quantification and mapping of funding needs and available resources, understanding current costs of HIV interventions, helping the governments identify funding gaps and access additional resources. The volunteer analyst will be a part of a team that works very closely with the Ministry of Health, as well as the national AIDS coordinating body, interacting on a regular basis with donors, NGOs and civil society. HIV/AIDS programs are integrated into broader health programs; the role may therefore extend beyond HIV financing and into broader health care financing issues that relate to health system strengthening.

This is a challenging but very rewarding position which will have direct and near-term impact on thousands of patients in need of life-saving treatment. It is an opportunity to work closely with a government that is committed to HIV care and treatment and to provide critical skills, tools and capacity that will enable access to and better management of funds to fight HIV/AIDS in Zambia.

Responsibilities:

Provide robust data management and analytical support to the in-country team, and actively participate in structuring the analytical approach and problem solving in areas such as:

* Modeling current costs of providing HIV interventions at the national and facility levels
* Understanding current funding flows in HIV, and the broader health sector
* Reviewing specific funding channels to understand funding flows and potential areas of inefficiencies

Modeling to assess potential for improved efficiency and effectiveness of HIV interventions

Qualifications:

Qualities required:

* Very strong quantitative skills, including significant experience working in excel on budgeting
* Applicants with management consulting or other relevant private and public sector experience are strongly encouraged to apply
* Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build strong professional relationships with a range of stakeholders
* Exceptional diplomatic and interpersonal skills
* Excellent organizational and problem solving skills
* Strong communication skills, including the ability to prepare compelling presentations
* Ability to multi-task and to be effective in high-pressure situations
* Ability to work independently on complex projects

Advantages:

* Knowledge of/experience with the Global Fund proposal development process as well as knowledge of other donor funding mechanisms and processes (e.g., IHP, SWAp, HIPC funds, etc.)
* Experience with working in developing countries, particularly in health or HIV/AIDS-related issues
* Experience working with recipient country governments and international partners in country
