Directorate/Department/Organ: Africa CDC
Division: Health Workforce Division
Job Grade: Rapid Responder
Contract Type: Volunteer
Number of Positions: 20
Purpose of Job
- The AU Heads of States and Government in Assembly Decision /AU/Dec.570 (XXV) of June 2015, requested the Commission in collaboration with Member States (MS) and Development Partners to establish an African Volunteer Health Corps (AVoHC) to be deployed during disease outbreaks and other health emergencies.
- A well-trained, multidisciplinary and stand-by response team should be available and able to respond in the shortest time possible. As of October 2021 (latest available figure), more than 230 AVoHC rapid responders have been deployed across 23 countries to support COVID-19 response activities and other disease outbreaks including Ebola Virus Disease, Cholera, Measles and Meningitis from the African Volunteer Health Corps Roster.
- Visionary and principled leadership is critical for Africa to implement a new public health order necessary to truly safeguard the African Continent from a myriad of threats to health and economic security.
- This leadership is even more essential considering the complex interplay of globalization, health security, trade protectionism, and health diplomacy, which overlay the burden of disease and the emergence of new health threats like COVID-19. Furthermore, this leadership is critical to the timely and sustainable achievement of Africa’s Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- In view of this urgent need for transformational public health leadership across the continent, the Kofi Annan Global Health Leadership Program (KA-GHLP) was launched on 25 May 2020 by Africa CDC in conjunction with the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Kofi Annan Foundation, as a flagship initiative of Africa CDC. The KA-GHLP has three key components: (1) A Fellowship in Public Health Leadership, (2) a Public Health Scholars Program, and (3) a Public Health Policy Forum.
- The Kofi Annan Scholars Program (PHSP) aims to place experienced public health experts (from within Africa or the African Diaspora) in time-limited placements within relevant government ministries, National Public Health Institutes, and other significant national health institutions to provide targeted support.
- In addition, by attracting African diaspora professionals to participate in this program, it provides an opportunity to tap into additional skill sets while encouraging engagement from the diaspora, which has been officially recognized as the sixth region of the African Union since 2012.
- The Africa CDC, therefore, seeks to recruit Procurement Specialists from citizens of any Member State of the African Union or the African Diaspora to join the roster of the African Volunteers Health Corps as part of the Kofi Annan Scholars program.
- This is not recruitment for employment but volunteer services delivered within the Africa CDC/AU framework that recognizes and rewards the experts for their time and skills under the existing rules, regulations and enumeration guidelines.
