Description

The role of the Health Care Finance advisor (HFCA) is to work with REDSO/ESA/PHN, ESA missions, The African Bureau in Washington, and national decision makers, to analyze the economic and financing factor which affects the impact, efficiency and financial sustainability to national PHN (including AIDS) programs. The HCFA will identify appropriate policy reforms in the health and financial sector and develop (and implement) plans of action (which may include policy reform agendas, cost recovery, improvement of fiscal management, decentralization programs, health insurance, etc.) to improve the sustainability of PHN program operations. The HCFA will identify alternative ways of financing health and population services, including a shift of some of the burden from the public to the private sector for support for these services and advise USAID Missions. In doing so, the HCFA will work with missions in host country governments in developing strategies and implementing these strategies. The HCFA will monitor and evaluate of health financing activities, as well as fiscal policy reforms, undertaken in the countries in the region, in order to increase the financial viability and sustainability of their health and population programs, including the development of policies directly related to the implementation of these strategies. The HCFA will participate fully with other REDSO/ESA staff, with the Africa and Global Bureaus, with ESA missions and with other partners in the region to develop an appropriate analytical and research agenda to support the further development of the health financing sector in the ESA region. In addition, the HCFA will, as necessary, provide assistance to ESA missions in program design, monitoring and evaluation of their child survival, health, population and AIDS activities and projects.
