The Global Health Training, Advisory and Support Contract (GHTASC) delivers effective global health programming to advance the mission of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Global Health (GH) through institutional support and workforce development services from junior, mid-level, senior and expert advisory and administrative professionals.
Credence and its partner, the Public Health Institute (PHI), are both employers for GHTASC, and are seeking a Senior Health Financing Advisor. This position will be hired under Public Health Institute (PHI).
Access to a choice of quality, affordable contraceptive methods is an essential component in the provision of family planning and reproductive (FP/RH) services, and in turn the ability of women and men to make reproductive choices. However, because of inadequate and unreliable financing for contraceptive supplies and the supply chains needed to distribute them, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are unable to maintain access to FP/RH services for people who need them, most especially the poor and near poor. The Senior Financing Advisor will be responsible to lead Agency efforts to strengthen financing and policy environments that support access to contraceptives, with a primary focus on increasing access to financing for the procurement and distribution of contraceptives and other FP/RH commodities in the public and private sectors.
The Senior Health Financing Advisor will serve as a senior technical advisor in the Commodity Security and Logistics (CSL) Division, Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH), Bureau for Global Health (GH). The CSL Division is one of four divisions within PRH. PRH advances and supports family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programs worldwide. The Office provides global coordination and leadership for improved policy, advocacy, and health outcomes; generates, organizes, and disseminates knowledge in response to global and country needs; and partners with USAID field missions to accelerate progress towards achieving FP/RH development objectives. PRH is committed to advancing and supporting a more inclusive, diverse, equitable, accessible, anti-racist and learning community and to integrating these values into Office operations, functions, and programming. PRH believes that having a diverse workforce benefits and enriches the development of all staff and our work.
The CSL Division includes 19 staff and serves as a world leader to ensure the long-term availability for clients in low- and middle-income countries of a range of quality-assured contraceptives and FP/RH commodities. The Division achieves its mission through (1) procurement and delivery of contraceptives and FP/RH commodities for country programs in the public and private sectors; (2) technical assistance to strengthen sustainable country-led supply chains that are resilient and responsive to local contexts and needs; and (3) global thought leadership to serve as a trusted resource in the global public health supply chain community. The CSL Division thus oversees a global supply chain that procures and delivers FP/RH commodities for USAID-supported country programs; provides technical and management support to Mission-funded programs for supply chain strengthening; and has responsibility for headquarters funding for global technical leadership, Mission support, and partnerships in support of its mission. CSL staff support USAID Mission investments in FP/RH commodity procurement and related supply chain technical assistance.
