ACT Health Programme Coordinator, Job at GOAL- Kampala, Uganda

Position title: ACT Health Programme Coordinator
Reports to: Country Director
Management:  Team of 7
A close working relationship with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), our research partner and the GOAL Uganda MEL Coordinator and Manager

GOAL
Founded in 1977, GOAL works to promote the realization of the fundamental rights of the poor, the vulnerable, and those affected by humanitarian crisis. GOAL currently works in 13 countries; Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, India, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Sierra Leone, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda and Zimbabwe. GOAL's head office is in Dublin, Ireland with support offices in London and New York.

The General Description of the Country Programme
The GOAL Uganda country programme focuses on two of GOAL's three strategic sectors, namely: Health (including WASH, HIV and health accountability programming); and Livelihoods. GOAL Uganda mainstreams HIV, gender, child protection and the environment/DRR across all programming. GOAL works on a district focused approach, and uses a mixture of direct implementation and partnerships with national and international civil society organizations, local government and private sector companies to give effect to our mission.

The current GOAL Uganda country programme operational areas:

1. The Bugiri / Namayingo District Programme, South Eastern Uganda, established in 2001, currently has a water and sanitation programme and a health accountability programme, both are implemented through national partners.
2. The Agago District Programme, North Eastern Uganda, established in 2003 has transitioned from an emergency programme to a development programme. Implementation is both through partners and directly in the HIV and WASH sectors and through private sector partners in Livelihood.
3. The Abim District Programme, North Eastern Uganda (Western Karamoja) was established in 2008. This development programme implements through partners in the HIV and WASH sectors and directly in the Livelihood sectors.
4. Emergency WASH programming in Kamwenge District with Congolese refugees

GOAL Uganda country programme is funded by a number of donors who include DfID, UNICEF, Irish Aid, European Union and GOAL.

Description of the ACT Health Programme
The increasing discussion of weak governance and accountability failures which lead to poor service delivery has led to more programmes that include citizens and civil-society actors in the processes of monitoring and decision making for public services. There is an increasing interest in programmes that try to restore a healthy balance between state (policy makers, service providers, duty-bearers) and clients (citizens, rights-holders, users of services). Some of the most impactful efforts strengthen direct links between citizens and providers (health workers) and have very a very dramatic impact on accessibility and quality of services.
Credible research in Uganda (with a randomised control trial) has shown that public discussions about health facility performance and community behaviour combined with community responsibility for developing and implementing action plans improves access to services in very significant ways. In fact, many think this can be a more cost effective and sustainable way to improve access to services through;

• Reduced leakages and improved effective use of resources like drugs and human resources
• Engaged community members who know what the health system should provide
• Empowered community members to ask for accountability from the government workers
• Improved health seeking behaviour

One approach, called the Citizen Report Card (CRC), has been shown in a randomised control trial to lead to 'large increases in utilization and improved health outcomes – reduced child mortality and increased child weight that compares favourably to some of the more successful community-based intervention trials reported in the medical literature
