Background
Sustaining Health Outcomes through the Private Sector (SHOPS) Plus is a five-year global, USAID-funded Cooperative Agreement awarded to Abt Associates and partners in September 2015. The mandate of SHOPS Plus is to increase the role of the private sector in the sustainable provision and use of quality family planning (FP), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), maternal and child health (MCH) and other health information, products, and services. The project seeks to harness the full potential of the private sector and catalyze public-private engagement to improve health outcomes. By increasing the participation and effectiveness of the private health sector, SHOPS Plus improves the equity and quality of the total health system.
For Tanzania’s rural and urban poor, Accredited Drug Dispensing Outlets (ADDOs) are often the entry point to the health system. Underserved populations depend on ADDOs for access to essential health commodities and services. While ADDOs play an important role in health service provision, the quality of business practices and overall financial sustainability of ADDOs vary widely. In order to address these challenges, the SHOPS Plus project is undertaking a business strengthening program focused on ADDOs.
Responsibilities include:
- Participate in assessment activities designed to inform business strengthening assistance for ADDOs;
- Provide assistance and support to Banyan Global home office personnel in the design/ adaptation of business training and coaching materials;
- Deliver a series of trainings focused on business strengthening skills for ADDOs;
- Provide one-on-one business coaching for ADDOs;
- Support the investigation, design, and implementation of activities linking business strengthening assistance to other aspects of the SHOPS Plus project;
- Draft periodic reports, and address all requests for edits and adjustments.
Qualifications
- A minimum of five years’ experience in training adults, with an emphasis on business administration and financial management;
- Knowledge and understanding of the business and financial management challenges facing businesses in Tanzania, with a particular emphasis on SMEs and/or private health providers;
- Excellent communication, writing, and presentation skills;
- Ability to work both independently, and to submit high-quality deliverables on time;
- University degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration or other relevant discipline. Master’s level degree a plus.
- Previous experience working on USAID projects is a plus.
We are currently hiring a Business Strengthening Consultant. Qualified candidates may apply.
