Strategic Leadership of Health Financing for Community Health:
• Define and drive the health financing agenda as a strategic pillar within Living Goods' sustainability framework. This involves landscaping of community health investments by donors and government, supporting government resource mobilization efforts, and designing strategies to influence government budgetary allocations.
• Manage expert consultants to conduct cost analyses and develop investment cases for community health.
• Advise on advocacy initiatives for community health resource mobilization, developing strategies to unlock financing through influencing policies, strategies, bills, budgets, and the operationalization of relevant acts.
• Develop policy briefs and other advocacy materials highlighting community health financing needs, ensuring effective communication of key messages.
• Analyze strategic purchasing and payment mechanisms for primary healthcare services, identifying opportunities for LG to influence for increased budget allocations to community health.
• Advocate for government investment in digitally empowered, equipped, supervised, and compensated CHWs through intersectoral collaboration or directly under MoH sector budget.
• Regularly collaborate with key decision-makers within the Government (MoH, MOFPED, MOLG, MoGLSD, Parliament of Uganda, etc.) to communicate and clarify the DESC approach, and ensure its incorporation into the sector health financing strategy and multisectoral development plans and agendas.
• Conduct comprehensive technical analyses, research assessments, briefings, and provide guidance to support Living Goods' health financing roadmap, utilizing either direct execution or leveraging external consultants as deemed strategically beneficial.
• Regularly review and document existing legal and policy frameworks to identify opportunities for unlocking health financing (conduct desk research on the health financing landscape and provide regular updates on the emerging issues that impact LG HF roadmap).
• Map out, develop, and foster internal and external relationships relevant to health financing work streams, creating a network that enhances the organization's positioning.
Strategic Alliances and Co-financing Partnerships:
• Act as the representative of Living Goods (LG) in engagements at central, district, and regional levels related to Community Health (CH) system strengthening.
• Collaboration Leadership: Lead collaborative efforts with District leaders and implementing partners to foster engagement on LG’s scope and identify areas of convergence for co-financing partnerships.
• Represent LG’s interests in relevant coalitions, such as CSBAG (Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group) and engage collectively or organizationally with policymakers from Health and Budget Committees to explore opportunities for co-financing and strategic alliances.
Interdepartmental and cross functional Collaboration:
• Work closely with key departments within Living Goods to facilitate the seamless flow of relevant information related to key activities, initiatives, and engagements. Promote cross-learning and provide support where needed.
• Engage in regular check-ins with peers within Living Goods Kenya (LGK) and Living Goods Burkina Faso (LGBF) to foster shared learning and exchange experiences.
• Manage resource mobilization, including tracking funding opportunities and developing inputs and analyses in calls for proposals.
• Conduct resource mapping and tracking, including identifying and developing tools and processes for improved resource mobilization, allocation, and management.
