*Global Health Fellows Program II*

*Technical Advisor III: Organizational Development Advisor*

*Rwanda Biomedical Center*

*Location: Kigali, Rwanda*

*Assignment: Two year fellowship*

*GHFP II-P1-041*



The Global Health Fellows Program (*GHFP-II*) is a five year cooperative
agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in
partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems
International.  GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International
Development (USAID).



GHFP-II's goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by
developing and increasing the capacity of health professionals with
tailored development opportunities. This is accomplished through the
recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the
junior, mid and senior levels, and performance management and professional
development activities aimed to enhance the technical and leadership skills
of fellows.



*BACKGROUND*:

In March 2011 the Rwandan government passed legislation creating the new
Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC). This legislation brings together 14 health
sector institutions which were previously individual entities. Modeled
after the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), the consolidation of these
entities is aimed at decreasing the duplication of work, and increase
output and efficiency in delivery of health services. Through this process,
many health related government agencies and their board of directors were
dissolved, including the central medical stores, national reference
laboratory, the Health Communications Center, the AIDS Control Commission,
and the International Center for AIDS Research as they now sit within the
RBC. The RBC structure presents many opportunities and challenges as new
organizational structures form and roles and responsibilities of staff and
programs are clarified.



USAID/Rwanda is looking to provide an Organizational Development (OD)
Advisor to assist in ensuring a successful integration of the RBC.



*INTRODUCTION*:

achieve the following objectives, which aim to create an effective

Team. S/he will also collaborate with other USG supported programs, as well

CDC/JHPIEGO program entitled "Achieving Sustainability through Increased
Health Systems Management Capacity" and the USAID program Human and
Institutional Capacity Development (HICD). The Director of the RBC will
serve as the onsite manager for the Organizational Development Advisor,

of Health or Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health on general
oversight of the position.
