RECRUITMENT OF NATIONAL HEALTH ACCOUNTS ESTIMATION 2024 RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
BRIEF ABOUT USAID HERO
The USAID Health Equity Resource Optimization (USAID HERO) project is led by Kenyatta University in collaboration with Abt Global- a leader in health systems strengthening organization based in the United States. This project works in 10 counties in Kenya and seeks to enhance health outcomes through improved Domestic Resource Mobilization for sustainable financing of essential health services, improved financial and social protection systems for health and improved availability and use of quality evidence to inform policy, planning and implementation of health services.
USAID HERO works with a diverse group of stakeholders drawn across the national and county governments, partner organizations working in health and social protection sectors and local communities represented by local civil society organizations. By working with public and non-state actors at both national and county levels the USAID HERO mechanism seeks to increase resource allocation to the country’s health sector and increase efficiency, equity, and effectiveness in their use. This is done using the systems thinking approach to mobilize more resources for health.
NATIONAL HEALTH ACCOUNTS ESTIMATION
National Health Accounts (NHA) are records of a country’s health system expenditure over a given period and are an important policy tool for evaluating progress towards universal health coverage. NHA is designed to facilitate the successful implementation of health system goals by policymakers who are responsible of providing an optimal package of goods and services to maintain and enhance the health of individuals and populations. NHA provides crucial data for optimising health resource allocation and mobilisation, identifying and tracking shifts in resource allocations (e.g., from curative to preventive, or from public to private sector), for comparing findings with other countries, and finally, for assessing equity and efficiency in a dynamic health sector environment.
Data generated through the NHA estimation process provides a comprehensive picture of the health financing landscape in the country in terms of source funds, how health funds are managed or pooled, and how health goods and services are purchased. Health accounts can improve the financing of health systems health by monitoring the extent to which resources are mobilized, used and allocated efficiently and equitably. This, in turn, helps ensure health services are available and affordable when people need them.
The Ministry of Health (MOH), in collaboration with USAID HERO project, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other partners, is conducting the NHA estimation for the periods 2019/2020, 2020/2021, and 2021/2022. To this end, USAID HERO is recruiting research assistants to assist in data collection.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Research Assistants (RAs) will support generation and utilization of evidence to inform decision making. This role involves working closely with Short-Term Technical Experts for forthcoming assignment on collecting and analysing health expenditure data from selected institutions. The RAs will also assist in compiling comprehensive datasets that reflect the allocation and utilization of health resources at a national and sub-national levels. The Research Assistants will be expected to play a critical role in the NHA implementation. In general, the responsibilities of the Research Assistants in the survey include:

Over the last 8 years, YALI RLC EA has implemented a comprehensive and experiential curriculum seeking to empower young African leaders to transform themselves, their communities, countries, and the African continent. The curriculum is delivered in three tracks focused on civic leadership, business and entrepreneurship, and public management. In addition, there is a cross cutting track that is undertaken by all participants. The curriculum is designed to stretch the boundaries of current leadership paradigms to create new opportunities for dialogue and capacity building. To promote a collaborative learning environment, the YALI RLC EA focuses on the bottom part of the pedagogy pyramid focusing more on learning by doing and peer to peer learning. Both local and international instructors facilitate a blended learning environment that builds both knowledge and expertise. The YALI RLC EA is in Phase II of implementing the curriculum.

Kenyatta University and The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) wishes to invite applications from suitably qualified candidates with outstanding academic/Professional qualifications and relevant experience for the following position;
CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT A TRAINING OF TRAINERS PAUSE AND REFLECT EXERCISE
Background:
The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) is the U.S. Government’s (USG) signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. Launched in 2010, YALI consists of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, the YALI Network, and the YALI Regional Leadership Centers (RLCs). The RLCs are regional training hubs located at higher education institutions in Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, and South Africa. The four regional hubs provide gold-standard transformational learning and leadership training to empower and connect young African leaders aged 18-35. The RLCs are funded and managed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in close partnership with other private sector partners. The RLC located in Kenya is implemented by Kenyatta University with Deloitte East Africa as a sub-partner. The YALI regional training hub referred to as “YALI RLC EA” serves 14 East and Central African countries. The target countries are Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. The goal of the program is “Enhanced youth leadership throughout East and Central Africa”. Towards this goal, the program builds on investments of the first implementation period that ran from 2015 through 2021 to ensure the critical mass of youth leaders who have been trained are making an impact in their communities.
Description of the Assignment:
For YALI leadership training to have the intended reach and impact, there is a need for the extension of the knowledge, skills, and experience to the communities. This has been achieved through the development and implementation of YALI RLC EA Training of Trainers (TOT) for a selected number of alumni. The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a pause and reflect exercise for Collaborating, Learning and Adapting with YALI RLC EA team and YALI RLC EA ToT alumni. The ToT alumni underwent a 5-day residential ToT course to build and strengthen their capacity to deliver the training effectively. After the ToT training, they were expected to go back to their communities and countries and cascade YALI RLC EA leadership training to other young people including AGYW, PwD, and those from minority groups including but not limited to refugees and those in the rural areas. This assignment is therefore meant to create a forum where a sample of ToT alumni will meet to share experiences and lessons learned while implementing the training. They will also propose recommendations and give feedback on how to make future TOT programs better.
YALI RLC EA is looking for a consultant to facilitate a pause and reflect exercise with YALI RLC EA management team, other stakeholders as well as ten (10) ToT alumni from across any of the 14 countries: Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda. The consultant will work closely with YALI RLC EA Alumni and Learning and Curriculum team on a part-time basis. The consultant’s role will be to lead the sessions with 10 ToT alumni from different countries to outline the successes, challenges and the lessons learned while at the same time sharing the best practices and mapping the way forward for the ToT training for YALI RLC EA.
Overall objective:
Facilitate a pause and reflect exercise with YALI RCL EA management team, other stakeholders and ten (10) YALI RLC EA ToT alumni selected from different countries. The exercise will involve the documentation of outcomes including lessons learnt, best practices, recommendations for improvement of the ToT module and training, as well as a review of the YALI RLC EA TOT training Module. The exercise aims to give YALI RLC EA an opportunity to learn, reflect, decide, and act as it continues with the journey of impacting and empowering young leaders in the region.
Scope of work:
This exercise will enable YALI RLC EA to identify what’s working and what needs adapting in the TOT training module and allow the Center to consider the impact of changes in the operating environment or context. Specifically, this assignment should enable YALI RLC EA to assess its performance in YALI TOT module implementation, TOT alumni performance and how this may be improved. It should enable the Center to reflect on the objectives of the TOT, its contribution towards achieving overall program outcomes as well as impacting the community. Through this process, the consultant should enable YALI RLC EA management team and the participants to step back from events and experience, study their meaning, and draw conclusions. This should enable ongoing learning and adaptation through responsive feedback. From this exercise, the consultant should be able to document, what has worked, what has not worked, lessons learned, challenges experienced, mitigation strategies applied across different countries, best practices, and the way forward for effective TOT implementation, support, monitoring, and evaluation. The consultant should then review and update the existing YALI RLC EA Training module based on the data collected through this exercise. The assignment is expected to take twenty (20) days.
Methodology:
The pause and reflect exercise will utilize learning forum/event approach and should be robust to create an environment for candid conversations. It should also provide an opportunity for all participants to learn from each other, share experiences and help them to chart their way forward as trainers. To achieve this, the exercise should be participative and inclusive in nature and should apply adult-Centered approaches to ensure that the expected outcomes are achieved. The approaches should include but not limited to guided panel discussions, experience sharing, poster presentations, and chalk talk (where everyone is given some time to reflect on their own). Some of the questions that will guide this assignment include:
