Jobs at World Bank in Madagascar
Job Title:Health Specialist
Job # 112611
Job Title Health Specialist
Job Family Health, Nutrition & Population
Location Antananarivo, Madagascar
Appointment Local Hire
Job Posted 20-Dec-2011
Closing Date 04-Jan-2012
Language Requirements English [Essential]; French [Essential]
Appointment Type
Background / General description
1. Health is one of the key priority areas of the Madagascar Interim Strategy, Note (ISN) for both the short and medium term. The World Bank was extremely active in the health, nutrition and HIV/AIDS sectors prior to the on-going political crisis in Madagascar. In the health sector, the Bank financed a first phase of support to a sector wide approach through the Sustainable Health System Development Project in the amount of US$10 million, which closed in December 2009. The second phase, the Joint Health Sector Support Program (JHSSP) for a total amount of US$82.5 million was prepared in 2008 and was on the verge of presentation to the Board in March 2009 when the political crisis occurred. The JHSSP will be financed by an IDA Credit of US$63 million and pooled funding with the Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD) in the amount of US$19.5 million (€14 million), requiring extensive dialogue on project preparation and implementation issues. In addition, the Bank plays a key role in donor coordination and health sectoral meetings and is the co-chair of the International Health Partnership, of which Madagascar is a member. This requires extensive engagement in sector policy dialogue and close collaboration and frequent interaction with other donors. The health sector is currently undergoing revision of its health sector plan, the Plan de Développement du Système de Santé (PDSS), and has requested that the Bank play a lead technical role in supporting this process. 2.The portfolio also includes the Second Multi-sectoral STI/HIV/AIDS Project, in the amount of US$30 million, which is currently under implementation. The project’s objective is to support the Government of Madagascar (GOM) in promoting a multi-sectoral response to the HIV/AIDS crisis and to contain the spread of HIV/AIDS. The project became effective in January 2006 and its original closing date was December 2009. However this date has been extended by two years to December 31, 2011 given the nearly two-year delay in starting project implementation. This project requires extensive support and supervision, frequent no-objections, regular monitoring of project activities and close coordination with other donors (more than 10 donors are supporting the program) on a regular basis. In addition, the project was about to be majorly restructured following the mid-term review in December 2008, however this exercise was not completed due to the political crisis and is planned for 2010. The project is currently being restructured and the task team will be starting the process for additional financing to the project. 3.The Bank has also been very active in the nutrition sector over the last 10 years through an Additional Financing to the Second Community Nutrition Project which closed in July 2011. The development objectives of the Project were to: (i) improve the nutritional status of children under the age of three, pregnant and lactating women, and school-aged children; and (ii) ensure long-term sustainability of nutrition outcomes by improving the quality and quantity of food intake by children at home. In addition, project financing was supporting efforts to operationalize the institutional framework of the national nutrition plan and strengthen the capacity of the National Office of Nutrition (ONN). The project closed on December 31, 2009. However, due to the crisis, it was not possible to hold discussions with the Government on the follow-up support required to maintain and reinforce the results achieved. The Bank is providing technical assistance to the National Nutrition in a number of areas including the development of the follow-on strategic plan. 4.The Bank is developing and managing a growing body of analytic work in the health sector as well as preparing new financing to the sector. 5.The above portfolio of work are complex and require a high level of attention, guidance and technical support and assistance from the Bank in order to perform successfully and achieve their objectives. A health specialist is therefore required to facilitate the implementation of this extensive work program and any other new HNP tasks that may arise. Note: A potential candidate has been identified and intends to apply for this position. However, this remains a competitive process and interested candidates are encouraged to apply.
