Description of responsibilities and duties:

The Health Sector Advisory Office (HSAO), headed by the Senior Health Sector Policy Advisor, will during the initial years of the HSPS IV provide technical advice to the MOH, Ghana Health Service (GHS), CHAG, Ghana Aids Commission, DP Sector Lead, other DPs, NGO, CSOs and other private sector partners, as and when requested. Specifically, the HSAO will facilitate Danida's support to Ghana's health sector including monitoring of areas of priority; thereby enabling Danida - as well other DPs - to continue to be qualified policy dialogue partners to the

MOH and its agencies.

Duties:

Establish and maintain a good relationship with the MOH, GHS, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), CHAG, GAC and other key organizations (public as well as private), national health associations and institutions, municipal and local government authorities, academic institutions, NGOs, multilateral and bi-lateral agencies, through participation in formal and informal meetings and in collaborative activities. One key role – also recognizing the cross-sectoral focus – will be to link with stakeholders outside the “narrow” health sector.

Develop and maintain an in depth knowledge and understanding of Ghana's health sector, and sufficient knowledge of related areas, e.g., HIV/AIDS, nutrition, population and water & sanitation; to be familiar with government, private sector and health partners, health and health related policies; and to report on key issues and developments; to follow general social, economical and political developments in Ghana not least with a view to poverty alleviation, public financial management and public sector reform with possible implications for the health sector; to keep reasonably up-dated on international experiences and developments relevant to the health sector in Ghana.

Contribute to dialogue on health and health related issues, e.g. HIV/AIDS; to encourage collaboration between programmes and activities of MOH, GHS, NHIS, CHAG, GAC, related ministries, NGOs and other partners; and to encourage the use of local institutions, e.g., universities and others, to provide inputs to analysis and dialogue.

Assist the RDE on health sector issues and continuously keep the RDE informed on developments within the sector.

Assist the DP Sector Lead in the joint MOH/DPs facilitation, co-ordination and monitoring of support to the MOH POW.

Provide specific expertise on request from the MOH/GHS.

Establish and maintain a database of relevant programme information and key documents related to the health sector in Ghana as well as an inventory of local consultants and institutions.

Prepare and participate in Danida and other initiated reviews or evaluations as required in consultation with MOH and the sector lead.

Establish collaboration, in terms of capacity building, with Ghanaian institution(s) that have the potential of providing independent monitoring and analysis of the health sector (“Watchdog function”).
