For every child, health
The United Republic of Tanzania (URT) has renewed its commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and adopted Primary Health Care (PHC) as a main pillar for its action to achieve its UHC goals. URT has recently become a middle-income country resulting in declining donor resources and a pressing need for mobilizing domestic resources including gaining efficiencies in health services delivery.
The Health Specialist is expected to nurture close collaboration with key partners at the national level, including the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Finance, the President’s Office Finance and Planning, the President’s Office for Regional Administration and Local Government, selected regional authorities, other UN agencies, development partners and International Financial Institutions in both Mainland and Zanzibar. Internally, a close relationship will also be needed with the Communication, Advocacy and Partnership section to drive the identified health advocacy agenda.
