Background

The
Global Fund Resilient and Sustainable Systems in Health 2021 -2023 (GF-RSSH
2021-2023) was designed to contribute to making foundational efforts to
strengthen the Nigerian health system through targeted interventions that
aligns with the Federal Government’s policies, strategies, and standards to
reduce the burden of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (ATM) and other
diseases. Specifically, it is supporting planning, monitoring, and review of
progress against those standards; and through implementation support and
advocacy for state-level commitment to health governance and planning reforms.

This
fund is being leveraged upon to support Cross River, Jigawa and Nasarawa states
to address the gap in human resource for health (HRH) through the operationalization
of the Task Shifting, Task Sharing Policy (TSTS Policy) amongst other
interventions. To achieve operationalization of the TSTS Policy, the fund will
support the conduct of a staff audit, skill appraisal, gap analysis and the
development of a training plan in these three states to address the gap in
skill needed to deliver quality essential PHC services.

Scope of work

The
staff audit, skill appraisal, and gap analysis will take place in 5 LGAs in
each of the states of Cross River, Jigawa and Nasarawa. In each of the LGA,
data will be collected from all health workers on the payroll in all the
Primary Health Care Centres. Twenty (20) officers selected by a committee will
collect data from the health workers across the five (5) LGAs in each of the
states of Cross River, Jigawa and Nasarawa. Four (4) officers will work in each
