UNDP South Sudan currently serves as the Global Fund interim Principal Recipient (PR) for HIV/RSSH and TB grants allocated to South Sudan. The grants aim to provide comprehensive TB and HIV services and building Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) in South Sudan. UNDP works in partnership with the Ministry of Health and contracts Sub Recipients (SRs) to implement the projects.
The Global Fund grants provide critical services by addressing the gaps observed in the health service delivery in the country. Due to the country’s economic status; the Global Fund grants provide retention incentives to Healthcare Workers at various health facilities across South Sudan and as well as community outreach workers. The provision of retention incentives is key to the delivery of TB/HIV services in the current country context. UNDP would like to recruit a National Consultant for a period of 20 days to assess the methods of payment of retention incentives paid to Healthcare Workers and community outreach workers under the existing funding mechanisms supporting community, primary and secondary healthcare services in South Sudan (HPF, RRHF, BHI, etc.). The purpose of the assessment is to explore practical means of ensuring timely payment of incentives and to find alternative means of payments for incentives under the Global Fund grants. |
