Senior Health Economist Job Vacancies at World Bank (Apply)

Attachment 5886


BACKGROUND / GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Africa Health, Nutrition, and Population Unit (AFTHW) is seeking a Senior Health Economist to be part of the health team. The position will be based in Abuja, Nigeria and the candidate will report to the AFTHW Sector Manager.


Nigeria has made limited progress in delivering critical health services. There appears to have been improvement in the under-5 mortality rate (from 217 per 1,000 live births in 2003 to 171 in 2008) but overall progress is not sufficient to achieve MDG4. Government through its National Strategic Health Development Framework and Plan (NHSDP) has recognized the importance of focusing on results to make significant progress, which requires greater accountability and more attention to governance. Furthermore, health financing issues such as high out of pocket (OOP) expenditure, little fiscal space for operational expense and weak oversight of state and local government authority (LGA) budgets have been critical issues in improving accountability and governance.
