**HEALTH, NUTRITION AND POPULATION GLOBAL PRACTICE CONTEXT**:
The central contribution of the HNP Global Practice to the World Bank’s twin goals is to enable the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in which all people are effectively covered by essential health services, and nobody suffers undue financial hardship because of illnesses. The HNP Global Practice includes staff members in Washington, DC, and many country offices. The HNP Global Practice works with and across multiple sectors, in recognition of the fact that HNP outcomes often depend on actions that lie outside the HNP sector. The HNP Global Practice supports country and regional efforts to: (i) improve health outcomes, especially for the poor and most vulnerable; (ii) expand access to high-quality HNP services, interventions and technologies that give the most value for money; (iii) strengthen health systems for results; (iv) establish and improve health financing mechanisms that promote efficiency, equity and sustainability of investments; (v) strengthen heath-relevant institutions within and outside the health sector; (vi) harness multisector policies and investments for better health outcomes; and (vii) develop and learn from rigorous impact evaluations.

**AFRICA REGION CONTEXT**:
Africa has registered strong economic growth in recent years that has helped to reduce poverty levels in the continent. Yet, as Africa’s population expands, the region faces a critical challenge of creating the foundations for long-term inclusive growth. Many countries still contend with high levels of child and maternal mortality, malnutrition is far too common, and most health systems are not able to deal effectively with epidemics and the growing burden of chronic diseases. These challenges call for renewed commitments and accelerated progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC)—the principle that everyone receives needed health services without financial hardship.

Most African countries have integrated UHC as a goal in their national health strategies. Yet, progress in translating commitments to UHC into expanded domestic resources for health, effective development assistance, and ultimately, equitable and quality health services, and increased financial protection has been slow. To accelerate progress toward UHC in Africa, the countries will require political leadership and a clear strategic vision to achieve their UHC targets and to be able to eliminate preventable maternal and child deaths, strengthen resilience to public health emergencies, reduce financial hardship linked to illness, and strengthen the foundations for long-term economic growth.

**HAEH2 Unit**

The HNP team in Africa is divided into four units, each covering three World Bank Country Management Units (CMUs) - one CMU in the World Bank can be responsible for managing the World Bank’s relationship with one or more countries. The HNP unit, HAEH2, covers the DRC, Kenya, and South Africa CMUs, which collectively comprise of thirteen countries, and is responsible for a large program of lending operations and advisory services and analytics (ASA). The HAEH2 currently has several lending and non-lending activities such as ASA in countries under the South Africa CMU, i.e., Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, South Africa, and Namibia. In Eswatini, the Bank has two active lending operations: the Eswatini COVID-19 Emergency Response Project (ERP) and the Health System Strengthening for Human Capital Investment Project. In Lesotho, the Bank supports three operations, the COVID-19 ERP, the Nutrition and Health System Strengthening Project and the Southern Africa TB & Health Systems Support Project. In South Africa, the Bank finances two active operations, the COVID-19 ERP, and the Genomics-based Surveillance Project. The HAEH2 also has several ASA to strengthen health financing and health system governance in Eswatini and Botswana and human capital in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. In order to strengthen its activities in countries under the South Africa CMU, the HAEH2 is recruiting a Senior Health Economist/Senior Health Specialist to be based in Pretoria, South Africa. Given that this is a local recruitment, qualified applicants with South African citizenship, permanent residence or an approved status conferring a right to reside and work in South Africa will be considered on a priority basis.

**Duties and Accountabilities**:
Working under the supervision of the Practice Manager, HAEH2, the Senior Health Economist/Senior Health Specialist will have the following key responsibilities, inter alia:
