Descriptif du poste :

Over 80 years ago, Albert Einstein helped create the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Today, we are a leading humanitarian and development organization working in more than 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. The IRC has been present in Liberia since 1996, serving as a lead partner in the health sector. The country program supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) in strengthening the health care systems and service delivery at all levels in accordance with the MOH national standards.

In recent years, IRC Liberia has deepened its commitment to supporting the Government of Liberia to strengthen its health recovery efforts – first from the devastating civil war, the Ebola crisis, and now the COVID-19 outbreak. The Scaling Up Community Health Activities Project presents an opportunity to improve health services in hard-to-reach communities and the rebuilding of health systems in Liberia.

Scope of Work :

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity, and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

The International Rescue Committee has been operating in Liberia since 1996 and has offices and activities in Montserrado, Lofa, and Nimba Counties. The IRC has Women and Girls Economic Empowerment programs and is currently supporting the COVID-19 emergency response in Liberia.

Job Overview :

The IRC has entered into a four-year cooperative agreement with USAID to implement Liberia’s Scaling Up Community Health Services project. This project will strengthen the Liberian community health system to provide health care services in hard-to-reach areas while supporting sustainable country ownership of community-based health services through technical assistance and capacity building of Ministry of Health (MOH)/County Health Teams (CHTs). This project will increase service providers’ coverage in underserved districts and improve their capacity to deliver quality health services while strengthening CHTs and communities’ capacity to plan, manage and monitor health services. In addition, the project will work directly with County and District Health Teams and at the community level, providing them with the technical and operational capacity to play a vital role in service delivery.

This new award builds on the gains achieved under the previous USAID community health grant, “Partnership for Advancing Community-based Services (PACS),” implemented by the IRC and partners. PACS supported the government in strengthening health systems, improving reproductive, maternal, and child health, and restoring public confidence in health facilities and staff. PACS also provided support to build the government of Liberia’s capacity to control infectious diseases and efforts to rebuild the health system.
