2 Job Positions at CIIC-HIN: (Deadline 17 November 2023)

Data Scientist at CIIC-HIN: (Deadline 17 November 2023)

Project Background

Rwanda has made rapid progress toward universal health coverage (UHC), but structural, monetary, and behavioral obstacles have hindered the country’s progress toward achieving the ambitious Vision 2050 and the SDGs for global health. A Rwandan health specialist told us that while progress was being made, it wasn’t happening rapidly enough.

Through Ireme, USAID pledges to support the health system’s leadership, adaptability, and capability to maximize human and financial resources in order to maintain high-quality services and advance equitable health outcomes. In order to fulfill that pledge, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and sub-awardee CIIC-HIN laid up their comprehensive approach. The parties will bring to this initiative their extensive expertise and knowledge gained through years of collaboration with the Rwandan government.

The project’s planned duration is 5 years.

MSH has commissioned the Centre for Impact, Innovation, and Capacity Building for Health Information Systems and Nutrition (CIICHIN) to implement the Monitoring and Evaluation and Capacity Building functions of this project.
