Futures Group Europe (London) and its consortium partners seek a seasoned Team Leader to direct an anticipated, multi-million Euro programme of technical assistance to India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and other government institutions in support of the national Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) Programme II.
The Team Leader will join a team of experts who will provide long-term technical assistance to India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) as part of the European Commission’s Sector Policy Support Programme/National Rural Health Mission/Reproductive and Child Health Programme (RHC) II. Although the dates of the assignment are still to be decided the project will likely start in quarter 3 of 2010.
The objective of the RCH programme in India is to address the unmet needs of contraception, health care infrastructure and health personnel, and to provide an integrated service delivery for basic reproductive and child health care, with a special focus on states facing major socio-demographic challenges.
In support of these wider objectives, this EC support progamme will:
* Strengthen the organisational development of the MoHFW and National Health Resource Centre;
* Support the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare to function along the lines of its statutory mission; and
* Build state capacity to follow up on the health sector reform agenda for Reproductive and Child service delivery by aiding the reorganisation of the PHC service delivery infrastructure and strengthening the State Directorates for improved general and financial management capacity.
The purpose of the Team Leader post will be to provide strategic leadership, oversee the long-term and short-term technical assistance to be provided, contribute to joint research, identify consultants (short- and long-term), formalise contractual relationships between institutions, liaise effectively between the varying stakeholders of the programme and to ensure each result area is accomplished.
