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.

The USAID/Rwanda Health Office is looking to provide a Senior Technical
Advisor for Health Management and Finance (Senior Advisor) to the Rwanda

assistance to support the development and institutionalization of
integrated quality delivery of health services at decentralized levels,
including the implementation of the national integrated supervision
strategy and ongoing health care financing reforms, including Performance
Based Financing (PBF).



The Senior Advisor will provide the MOH with technical assistance to
develop a comprehensive approach to integrated supervision, employing an
interactive and participatory process at the central level, bringing
together different units and departments, and ensuring integrated planning
