Job Title: Senior Policy and Health Systems Advisor

Panagora Group is a social enterprise dedicated to providing high-quality, high-impact international health, development, and learning consulting. We are a dynamic woman- and employee-owned small business partner focused on market-based and integrated local solutions that strengthen country capacity and independence; and on learning, communications, and technology solutions to accelerate and heighten impact.

Background

The USAID/South Africa Bilateral Health Office (BHO) manages one of the largest President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) programs in the world. The PEPFAR/USAID global strategy calls for supporting host-government policies that expedite the attainment of aggressive targets for the control of the epidemic: ensuring that 95% of people with HIV are identified, 95% of people with diagnosed with HIV are initiated on treatment and ensuring that 95% of people on treatment are virally suppressed.

Description of Position

The Senior Policy and Health Systems Advisor will inform the development and implementation of USAID health systems strengthening support to the South African National Department of Health and Provincial Health Departments, working closely with the Centers for Disease Control, WHO, United Nations, the private sector, and other donors to coordinate health system strengthening (HSS) related activities that foster sustained efforts towards epidemic control.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Support BHO in identifying and promoting effective implementation of laws and policies that ensure inclusive, non-discriminatory service provision as part of a health and HIV /TB response that benefits all ages, genders, socioeconomic groups and key and vulnerable populations.
  • Support coordination, integration and monitoring of systems related to the HIV/TB response (Public, private and community) by fostering multi-sectoral and multi-team collaboration between internal and external stakeholders.
  • Provide regular updates to the BHO team on the development of the Government of South Africa's (GoSA) National Health Insurance (NHI) program and other HSS related priorities.
  • Train and mentor USAID staff and implementing partners in policy development and HSS analysis and GoSA when required.
  • Ensure that evidence generated, or innovations piloted with USAID support (where appropriate) are translated into appropriate policy changes and scale up to benefit HIV/TB programs.
  • Participate in the strategic design and procurement of other USAID across programs and PEPFAR activities and ensure that USAID-supported awards align to the National Priorities and advance National HIV/TB/STI Strategic Plan (NSP) and 2nd Presidential Health Compact including advancing UHC efforts.
  • Establish and maintain close working relationships and provide technical leadership on behalf of USAID to all levels of staff at relevant USAID operating units, South African Government, implementing partners, the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (including the Inter-Agency Collaborative for Program Improvement), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services, Embassy Pretoria and other agencies.
  • Prepare policy or HSS related requirements for the PEPFAR Country Operational Plan for health system strengthening activities, quarterly/semi-annual/annual performance reports (data completeness checks), including the development, implementation and monitoring of the PEPFAR sustainability roadmap and other routine PEPFAR Country Operational Plan processes including work plan development for HSS Implementing Partners.
  • Establish strategic partnerships and linkages with multilateral and bilateral donors, foundations, and/or corporations to strengthen systems and program linkages.
