The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) entered into an agreement with for Sweden in December 2015 in order to support Zambia’s Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH&N) specified in the Programme Document dated 1st October, 2015. The Ministry of Health is the main implementer while the Provincial Health Offices will play a key role in supportive supervision and monitoring. The support to the provinces covers all the districts in these provinces and all government owned health facilities. In January 2017, the United States Agency for International Development USAID and Sweden entered into an agreement in which USAID will support the expansion of the programme into two additional provinces, Luapula and Muchinga for the period 2017-2020. The provinces covered would include Eastern and Southern provinces. The overall goal of the programme is to improve the health of women, children and adolescents by supporting integrated primary health services at district level including health facilities in the target provinces. The programme includes the health systems strengthening elements such as recruitment of key health staff, support for renovation and construction works, capacity building for health care provider and procurement of vehicles and supplementary commodity procurement (eligible categories) and effective Supply Chain Management. Another key component of the programme is increasing the use of quality Health Information for decision and management. The Ministry of Health (MOH) therefore seeks to recruit a suitably qualified and experienced person to be appointed to the position of Health Systems Support Technical Assistant.
