ABOUT THE ROLE
Under the leadership of the Director, the Institute of Capacity Development (ICD), the Health Workforce Digital Transformation Advisor will provide technical leadership in defining the health workforce digital transformation strategy for Amref's Learning for Life (L4L): Building a Resilient and Responsive Health Workforce in Africa programme which sits within ICD. This 4-year programme, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, 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. The global shortage of health workers is estimated to increase from 12 to 18 million by 2030, translating to a shortage of six million health workers. Africa also has the world's fastest-growing population, which presents governments and policymakers with 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 to contribute to increased and sustainable job creation within primary health care (PHC) sectors across Africa.
Reporting to the Director of ICD, the Health Workforce Digital Transformation Advisor will be charged with steering ICD's creative engine and fostering a culture of ingenuity. S/he will identify emerging trends, develop strategic digital learning strategy, and integrate cutting-edge solutions to improve the productivity and employability of health workforce. They will act as a catalyst for change, bridging the gap between abstract ideas and practical implementation while ensuring alignment with Amref's corporate strategy. As the holder of this position, you will have responsibility for the overall leadership, development, planning and delivery of the strategic direction of the L4L programme digital transformation strategy, working closely with internal (country offices, Amref International University) and external stakeholders and partners. You will participate in decision-making, advocating for and implementing digital learning policies and strategies within ICD. You will be a compelling thought leader representing Amref and ICD to governments, donors, partners, the health development community, and other stakeholders to position the digital learning agenda.
