ABOUT THE ROLE
Under the leadership of the Programme Director, the Evidence and Learning Manager will provide technical leadership in the evidence generation, knowledge management and learning for Amref's Learning for Life (L4L): Building a Resilient and Responsive Health Workforce in Africa programme which sits within the Institute of Capacity Development (ICD). This 4-year programme in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, will be implemented in Kenya, Senegal and Zambia during this first phase. The estimated ratio of health workers per population in Africa is 11.2 workers per 10,000 people, far below the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended ratio of 44.5. It is estimated that the global shortage of health workers will increase from 12 to 18 million by 2030, translating to a shortage of six million health workers. Africa also has the world's fastest-growing population, which presents governments and policymakers with both opportunities and challenges to ensure sufficient livelihood opportunities for its young population. To address these challenges and accelerate the current Universal Health Coverage (UHC) gains, Amref is implementing this innovative, multi-country, multi-million dollar programme with the ultimate aim of contributing to increased and sustainable job creation within primary health care (PHC) sectors across Africa
The Evidence and Learning Manager will work closely with the programme’s partners to capture and package robust evidence of the programme effectiveness, inform the programme’s learning and adaptation and contribute to Amref’s Information Management System (AIMS). The knowledge products produced thereof will be disseminated to the programme partners and external stakeholders 2 to promote learning, programme adaptation, and inform practice. S/he will lead and support learning events, develop mechanisms for generating evidence, creating and sharing knowledge, produce resources and guidance, and facilitate ongoing content development and engagement of diverse audiences. The job holder will be a member of the Programme Implementation Team (PIT).
