ABOUT THE ROLE
The Programme Accountant will provide timely, accurate and efficient accounting, budgeting and financial management support to the Learning for Life (L4L): Building a Resilient and Responsive Health Workforce in line with Amref’s financial and relevant policies and guidelines, and with the donor grant agreement and compliance guidelines. This is a 4-year programme in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation that will be implemented in Kenya, Senegal and Zambia during this first phase. The estimated ratio of health workers per population in Africa is 11.2 workers per 10,000 people, far below the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended ratio of 44.5. It is estimated that the global shortage of health workers will increase from 12 to 18 million by 2030 – which translates to a shortage of six million health workers. Africa also has the world’s fastest growing population, which presents governments and policy makers with both opportunities and challenges to ensure sufficient livelihood opportunities for its young population. To address these challenges and accelerate the current Universal Health Coverage (UHC) gains, Amref is implementing this innovative, multi-country, multi-million dollar programme with the ultimate aim of contributing to increased and sustainable job creation within primary health care (PHC) sectors across Africa.
Reporting to ICD’s Senior Programme Accountant, s/he will ensure effective utilization of programme funds through budget performance monitoring and ensure preparation of financial reports for internal and external (donor) consumption in accordance with donor regulation and organizational policies.
