Project Overview & Position
The Technical Advisor, Private
Sector Service Delivery (Clinical/Quality of Care) position is a full-time
position for an upcoming award being solicited through
USAID/Kenya & East Africa to promote Private Sector Opportunities
to a Fully Private Care and Treatment. USAID/Kenya & East Africa’s Health,
Population, and Nutrition (HPN) Office has realized the need to expand their
approach to private sector engagement, and the paradigm of their relationships
to be more transformational and private sector led. In line with USAID’s new
Private Sector Engagement Policy, USAID/KEA’s office has prioritized
the following areas to engage the private sector to reshape the healthcare
supply in Kenya using market-based approaches that will increase access and
contribute to a sustainable health system: 1.) Expand and strengthen supply
chain partnerships; 2.) Increase the availability of small-scale private sector
health providers; 3.) Increase access to financing for private health sector
firms; and 4.) Harness ICT/digital health private sector opportunities to scale
up health delivery. The Technical Advisor, Service Delivery (Clinical/QoC)
