Project Overview And Role
The USAID-funded Rwanda Integrated Health Systems Activity (RIHSA) seeks to support the Ministry of Health in strengthening Rwanda’s health system to provide quality health care for Rwandans while building the capacity of the GOR to move away from a donor-financed health system to self-reliance. The project is aimed at achieving two major objectives:
• Reduce financial barriers to health care through a mix of public and private interventions and provide tools for improved domestic resource mobilization and improve health care financing for the GOR.
• Improve the quality of essential health services at national, facility and community levels utilizing a health systems approach.

Through a focus on financing and quality, RIHSA provides technical assistance to the GOR on various strategies, tools and approaches that will allow Rwanda to sustainably fund its healthcare system and provide quality care at all levels. The Activity is implemented by a consortium led by Palladium International LLC (Palladium) in partnership with RTI International, the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), Zenysis Technologies, and the Rwanda Agency for Accreditation and Quality of Healthcare (RAAQH).

RIHSA is seeking to recruit a Health Financing and Private Sector Engagement Expert to support RIHSA and the Ministry of Health’s health financing efforts as well as to play a coordinating role in private sector engagement towards enabling public private partnerships and the strengthening of private sector stewardship for improved health outcomes. This position is aligned with the GOR’s priority to mobilize the private sector to play a leading role in accelerating the country’s growth, especially private investments in specialized care and service provision.
