Detalhes sobre a oferta de trabalho
USAID Zambia’s Human Resources for Health (HRH) investments, especially through PEPFAR, focus on funding a vast variety of positions needed to end HIV and achieve epidemic control. As Zambia nears epidemic control, HRH investments - along with commodities/supply chain support and health care financing - remain significant vulnerabilities to a sustainable response. For example, the Ministry of Health has 126,000 positions on the staffing establishment, but 50% of these positions are vacant (and PEPFAR contracted staff are providing the outsourced services as a temporary solution to the vacancy rate). The new government has shown more commitment to health (for example, by budgeting for and starting the recruitment process for 11,200 Health Care Workers). More analysis is needed for greater optimization as the country shifts to a devolved or decentralized model of planning, management, and ownership of the HIV response.

• Identify variance in HRH job categories (management, site level, community level), and cadre compensation between USG funded mechanisms and existing MoH requirements for HIV service delivery
