Context:

The education sector in Uganda has experienced a great transformation over the past 15 years. In 1997 the government of Uganda launched the Universal Primary Education strategy. By consequence enrolment in primary education soared. Because of its success (at least in numbers), an equal investment strategy became necessary for secondary education to provide further schooling for the rising number of pupils who finished primary education. The Universal Secondary Education strategy was then put into action in 2007, leading to an instant increase in enrolment figures in secondary education as well. Recognizing the importance of ensuring the quality and relevance of the education that the children receive, providing teachers capable of delivering education of high quality is considered by the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) as the single most important input in ensuring the successful delivery of the UPPET programme. Therefore upon initiative of the Government of Uganda, the Embassy of Belgium in Uganda has agreed to support interventions geared towards the improvement of teacher training provided by the National Teachers Colleges (NTCs), as well as other Colleges responsible for training tutors and lecturers for Business, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET), including the training of health Tutors.

The salary is calculated, depending on the composition of the family and the number of years of relevant experience.

Project:

Belgium has supported the Health Sector of Uganda with 18 million euros of sector budget support over the past 5 years and is a historical donor in the sector. It has contributed to the financing of the implementation of the HSSP II. The Belgian Development Cooperation is committed to a sector wide approach (SWAp) to health development and is, together with other actors, therefore advocating for co-ordination and partnership with all stakeholders involved in health sector.

Uganda approved during the 2010 Joint Review Mission the "Health Sector Strategic& Investment Plan 2010/11-2014/15" (HSSIP) and a new MoU, called Country Compact under the IHP+, was signed. Belgium has decided to engage further budget support to the health sector through HSSIP during the next two years with a possible additional contribution of 10 million euros.

Within this context, the Belgian Development Agency (BTC), responsible for monitoring of this support, will recruit a "Health Sector Budget Support Advisor". Informing and working together with the Attaché for International Cooperation at the Belgian Embassy, who has the political responsibility of the Belgian support, he/she will provide input to the ongoing health policy and technical dialogue with the Government of Uganda. In coordination and liaison with the Health Development Partners (HDP) Group, the advisor will provide technical input to the health SWAp, HSSIP and the government's reforms to be undertaken in the health sector.

Objectives

Assist and advise the Attaché in the Health Policy Advisory Committee (HPAC), HDP and other relevant meetings. · Report about the opportunity of disbursement of the different Belgian instalments. The advisor will systematically check whether the conditions for disbursement, as defined in the Specific Agreement, are met. She/he will then formulate a clear advice to the Attaché in this respect. · Support capitalization in order to feed into future Belgian interventions through documenting the implementation process and sharing experience; exchanging expertise and programme results with other BTC interventions and Belgian actors involved in the health sector and / or in budget support modalities. · Participate for the health sector in the meetings of the Joint Budget Support Framework (JBSF) Task Force if she/he gets the mandate of the HDP Group. · Participate actively in the processes on the development and the realization of the Indicative Cooperation Programmes (ICP) in Uganda. · Do sufficient field missions to test the policy dialogue issues to the reality in the field. Field missions will be aligned as much as possible to Ministry of Health (MoH) and HDP Group initiatives or the BTC-Capacity Building Project in MoH. · Seek an active interaction with stakeholders in MoH and document the Belgian portfolio approach in the sector.

In regards to the Health Development Partner Group:

· Ensure follow-up and analysis of HSSIP implementation. · Actively participate in the technical working groups responsible for the programme follow-up with a focus on budget analysis and public finance management within the health sector, including the analysis of the Office of the Auditor General's reports for the health sector. · Monitor identified risk factors (see technical note) and constructively collaborate with the partner authorities within the policy dialogue to implement mitigation actions. · Participate in the organisation and preparation of the annual sector reviews and related field missions. · Actively support donor coordination towards an active partnership approach to programme follow-up and policy dialogue with the Ugandan authorities, by providing support to the Attaché and the chair of the Health Development Partners group. · Establish, maintain and develop good working relations with the Government ministries (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Office of the Prime Minister, etc.), relevant institutions and all partners involved in HSSIP. · Develop, maintain and share an in-depth knowledge and understanding of HSSIP and the health sector, including through networking with local actors (e.g. Civil Society Organisations). · Ensure the timely provision of input on the performance of the health sector to the taskforce of the Joint Budget Support Framework. Advocate and work proactively with all stakeholders in the planning, the implementation and the monitoring of all health sector related issues of JBSF.
