Job Title: State Finance and Administration Director

Location: Abuja

Project Overview and Role   
The purpose of the proposed USAID Nigeria Integrated Health Program (IHP) Task Order (TO) 7 Contract is to implement priority primary health interventions in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Nigeria to strengthen the state-, LGA-, and ward-level health system as well as strengthen engagement with the state government. The objectives of the program are to (a) strengthen systems supporting primary health care services; (b) improve access to primary health care services; and, (c) increase quality of primary health care services.

The IHP goal is to contribute to state-level reductions in child and maternal morbidity and mortality and to increase the capacity of health systems (public and private) to sustainably support quality primary health care (PHC) services. IHP in FCT will be USAID’s principal primary health program service delivery activity and will coordinate closely with other USAID activities and other development partner programs in the state. USAID will intentionally overlay this activity with other Mission programming to increase Government of Nigeria (GON) resources for primary health care (PHC) services, increase demand for PHC services, and improve access to essential commodities. The activity is expected to collaborate closely with those other implementing partners and will not undertake any activities already implemented by other USAID programs.
