Living Goods Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Officer Jobs in Kenya

The Opportunity

USAID’s Health System Strengthening (HSS) Vision 2030 draws upon the progress over the past decade and the new challenges that have arisen, while reaffirming USAID’s longer-term goal of worldwide resilient health systems. The vision recognizes that integrated, systems-based approaches for strengthening health systems are now more critical than ever due to COVID-19 and other pandemics and asserts that:

All people and institutions including communities, health workers, leaders and policy makers should be engaged in HSS efforts.

Reliable links between the public and private sectors, including communities, lead to stronger health systems.

Health systems are resilient when they are able to adjust resources, policy and focus to varying degrees to respond to challenges.

Locally led, inclusive HSS efforts that account for social and behavior change lead to more sustainable results and greater self-reliance.
Locally designed approaches take into account the unique conditions of country conditions and often result in higher quality health care reaching the most disadvantaged and vulnerable.
Living Goods is undertaking a USAID HSS project, and is seeking to fill the position of Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer
