Program Manager for Community Health Development

CONTEXT
Inter Aide has been present in Mozambique since 2004. The first program launched was Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) aiming to reduce diarrhoeal diseases among children, in the District of Nacala-a-Velha (Province of Nampula, north-eastern part of the country). In 2007, Inter Aide launched a second WASH program in the neighburing district of Memba, still ongoing. From the end of 2012, in Nacala-a-Velha, the hygiene education component has been progressively complemented by actions to combat malaria, which is the leading cause of death among children. At the same time the construction of safe water points has gradually decreased since the basic needs had been covered.

The priority is now placed on the promotion of community health actions aiming to fight against two of the main pathologies especially among children in the intervention area: malaria and diarrhoeas.
This program is consequently based on four major concepts:
• The sensitization of rural communities on the preventative strategies against malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, with specific accompaniment of women and mothers ;
• The improvement of access to mosquito nets and sanitation for families (latrines construction) ;
• The capacity building of health village reference committees for supporting families, counseling mothers and referring them to local health facilities ;
• The support of local public health services for introducing primary healthcare workers and improving the supply of health services in rural areas (diagnose, prevention and treatment).
Inter Aide is currently looking for a full-time Program Manager, who will have full responsibility for this program from April 2014.

TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Program Manager is based in Nacala-a-Velha (around 20.000 inhabitants) and goes on a daily basis to the different intervention areas. She/he refers to the “Chef de Secteur”, based in France. She/he has to implement the program, reinforce and extend the current activities (including its extension to the District of Memba and according to the needs).
Her/his main responsibilities are the following:
• The implementation and improvement of the program methodology especially the actions related to the care of patients and the support of local health services ;
• The reinforcement of collaboration and the definition of measures with the representatives of the supervising Ministry at district and provincial level ;
• The supervision and technical training and the management of the local team (30 people) ;
• The monitoring and evaluation of the program and its logistic follow up ;
• The supervision of the necessary administrative procedures ensuring the efficient running of the program ;
• The operational and financial reporting to be shared with the “Chef de secteur” and the Finance Manager based in France (frequent activities reports, accountability and budget, and expense forecasts) ;
• The collaboration with the WASH Program Manager based in the district of Memba ;
• The capitalization on experience gained and good practices.
Based on the needs identified, the Program Manager will also contribute to the follow-up of the last water management works planned for 2014 and reinforce the water supply service maintenance (spare parts points of sale and local technicians). These services are already in place thanks to a local association that is about to be created on the initiative of a team member.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE NEEDED
• A university degree in Health (medical schools or public health)
• Experience in team management required
• First professional experience in a developing country required
• Ability to listen, to be diplomatic and to delegate
