Uganda: Intervention Manager Public Health (m/f) - Uganda

Context

The project *“Roll-out the national “Results-based financing policy” (RBF) in Acholi Sub Region in Uganda***” is funded by USAID in the context of our Global Partnerships strategy. Its objective is to reinforce the health system in the Acholi sub region in order to provide better health, financial protection and greater equity to the most vulnerable populations.

There are high expectations of all involved parties (US and Belgian government, Ministry of Health, Enabel) about the results to be delivered. The focus will be put on learning and institutionalization and a complementarity will be sought with other projects in Acholi region (World Bank and USAID funded mainly).

The expected major results are :

• Increased equitable access to quality health care services at public and Private Non For Profit (PNFP) Health Facilities in the Acholi sub-region, using RBF as an entry-point;

• Strengthened emergency referral system in the Acholi sub-region;

• Improved capacity of Health Districts to manage the quality of care, the RBF procedures and verification functions;

• Enhanced infrastructure for quality service delivery;

• Learning, innovations and co-creation of a sustainable RBF approach to contribute to the conception of a robust national RBF system.
