DFID K&S is unusual in managing two major country programmes from one office. We also host a small number of staff working regionally. Terms and conditions are competitive, and there are good opportunities for learning and development. The working environment is modern and pleasant. Following DFID’s Bilateral Aid Review and the enhanced priority given to reproductive health, a vacancy has arisen for aReproductive Health Adviser. The jobholder will be a member of the DFID Kenya Health and Education Section.

DescriptionThe Reproductive Health Adviser is an innovative new post established to strengthen and expand DFID Kenya’s health programme through advisory support to DFID Kenya Health programmes and policy, and through provision of support and co-ordination to the Development Partners supporting Reproductive Health in Kenya. The DFID Kenya Programme DFID is one of the largest donors in Kenya and a core partner in the Kenya Joint Assistance Strategy (2007-2012), which brings together 13 bilateral and 4 multilateral partners with an increasingly effective division of labour, and a framework for mutual accountability with government. The strategy is aligned behind Kenya’s development priorities set out in Vision 2030, which aspires to promote political and macroeconomic stability, sustained economic growth and social development, underpinned by rapidly expanding infrastructure. Progress towards these goals requires increased investment and significantly improved productivity. An increase in aid to 2015 could make this achievable more quickly, improving Kenya’s off-track performance on the Millennium Development Goals (notably child and maternal mortality) and reducing inequality. Although funding will not initially be provided directly through government systems, we aim to work closely with government through joint Government of Kenya (GoK) - donor co-ordination mechanisms such as the Health Sector Co-ordinating Committee and the Reproductive Health ICC (RH-ICC) to ensure alignment with Kenya’s priorities, effective allocation of resources, and leverage of private sector investments. DFID Kenya’s Health programme over the next four years will support:
The DFID Kenya Health Programme works closely with relevant Government of Kenya ministries and institutions as well as with a cross-section of non-government organisations including Population Services International (PSI), and Family Care International (FCI). HIV/AIDS work is undertaken in partnership with Kenya’s National AIDS Control Council (NACC), the UN Joint Programme for HIV/AIDS and the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF). We also collaborate with other development partners such as Germany and Denmark, and multilateral organizations like the World Health Organisation and UNAIDS. The Alliance for Reproductive, Maternal and Newborn Health (RMNH) was launched at the UN in September 2010 by DFID, USAID, AusAID and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In Kenya the partners working on reproductive health have extended this Alliance to include GoK, GIZ, KfW, UNICEF, UNFPA and WHO. A multi-donor supported mission was undertaken in February and March 2011 under the leadership of the Ministries of Health. A Steering Committee was formed to oversee the process of the Joint Mission and the resulting ‘Harmonizing Support to Reproductive Health in Kenya’ report. The Harmonizing RH Steering Committee meets monthly chaired by the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and includes representatives from Department of Reproductive Health (DRH) and Family Health Division. The objective of this post is to advise on reproductive health for the DFID programme and to support the Reproductive, Maternal and Newborn Health Alliance Partners in Kenya.
