The U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) launched the new Health Finance and Governance (HFG)
Project to increase the use of priority health services by strengthening health
finance and governance systems in low- and middle-income countries. The HFG
team, led by Abt Associates, brings significant experience working with
Ministries of Health and partners at all levels of the health system to build
country capacity to expandaccess to health care, particularly to HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis, malaria, and reproductive health services.
To increase the use of health
services and improve health outcomes, countries need strong health systems that
are well-managed and country-financed. HFG, a five year (2013-2017) project,
will support country partners to implement innovative and catalytic activities
that advance their health system priorities.
Abt Associates therefore seeks a
qualified candidate to support the general operations of the HFG Nigeria team
in Abuja.
