PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.
PATH has been operating in Senegal since 2001, with staff members located in offices throughout the country. PATH has a proven track record in mobilizing stakeholders and building the capacity of the Senegal Ministry of Health and Social Action (MSAS) in their efforts at all levels to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the country’s health system. In Senegal, PATH is a member of the Integrated District Health (IDH) project consortium, led by RTI International with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The five-year IDH project was launched in 2021 and is building sustainable local capacity to address health disparities in the regions of Diourbel, Kédougou, Kolda, Sédhiou, and Tambacounda.
As a member of the IDH consortium, PATH provides technical expertise in subnational health systems strengthening through supply chain improvement, private sector engagement, and digital health innovations. In addition, PATH anticipates a USAID/Senegal procurement designed to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH), family planning, nutrition, malaria, AIDS, and potentially WASH activities in the most vulnerable urban and peri-urban districts of the Dakar region.
The Urban Health (UH) project will strengthen the quality of routine health services, strengthen linkages between facility- and community-based services, leverage private sector resources and services, improve the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MOH) to utilize and oversee private providers, and develop interventions and innovations to tackle root causes of health disparities in urban zones.
PATH seeks a Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) Technical Advisor to provide technical leadership and oversee the implementation of health systems strengthening interventions in support of the IDH and UH projects’ overall goals. S/he will work closely with IDH and UH consortium partners and report solid line to the UH Chief of Party and dotted line to the USAID OWOD IDH Program Chief of Party.
