Job Vacancy at JSI Research & Training Institute
POSITION: Technical Consultant
Company Profile
JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), a global health leader, is a non-profit public health management consulting and research company committed to improving the health of individuals and communities worldwide. Also, JSI is carrying out the recently extended USAID-funded Strengthening the Care Continuum Project in Ghana.
Job Description
CHISU is a five-year global cooperative agreement supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The program aimed to strengthen Health Information Systems (HIS), enable data exchange and usage across systems, and boost nations’ self-reliance by increasing the capacity for local leadership and engagement in all aspects of health data.
As USAID’s flagship HIS and data project, CHISU’s cooperation with USAID supports host country health managers, health workers, and other stakeholders with four strategic goals:
- Host-country HIS has improved its governance and enabling environment.
- Quality health data and information systems are becoming more readily available and interoperable.
- Health data and information are increasingly in demand and being used to address health goals, gaps, and issues.
- Local partners’ organizational development has been strengthened in order to ensure long-term health data utilization.
Summary
The USAID-funded Country Health Information Systems and Data Use (CHISU) program is looking for a skilled consultant to help develop a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system.
For the past five years, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has used the Planning and Budget Management Information System (PBMIS) to help prepare evidence-based, high-quality plans and budgets that are aligned with strategic health sector objectives. However, the current PBMIS functions as a desktop application, which has severe drawbacks in a corporate institutional setting.
Recognizing these constraints, GHS intends to create a web-based version of PBMIS that overcomes the restrictions of desktop programs. The web-based technology will provide real-time accessibility, allowing users to collaborate easily from anywhere. It will also include a platform for electronic monitoring, evaluation, and learning (eMEL).
Activity
- Create an efficient and user-friendly M&E application to track key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Provide real-time updates on the progress of planned operations.
- Ensure a smooth interface with existing systems.
- As directed by the Resident Advisor, perform additional assigned CHISU Ghana-related responsibilities.
Deliverables
- A fully functional M&E application that meets all the required specifications.
- Open API documentation is automatically created for all endpoints.
- User manuals are designed for both end users and administrators.
- Deployment: Live deployment on the chosen hosting platform.
- Maintenance support is available at a negotiated charge after deployment.
Required Skill or Experience
- Advanced degree (MSc) in information technology, computer science, and data science.
- Additional qualification in the application of AI and associated subjects.
- Experience building and implementing effective technology solutions in a public health setting is necessary.
- Fluency in English is necessary.
- Experience in adult training methodologies, as well as strong presentation and facilitation abilities, are advantageous.
- A team player who can operate independently with minimum supervision is essential.
