Technical Director Job Description
Overview
BG Laurel International Nigeria LTE/GTE is a fully owned subsidiary of Banyan Global, Inc., a woman-owned small business and international development consulting firm committed to improving livelihoods through market approaches for a broad and lasting impact. The firm is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has program operations and activities in over fifteen countries around the world. Banyan Global operates within six practice areas: gender, youth, finance and investment, enterprise development, health, and evaluation and learning.
Banyan Global is the prime recipient of the USAID-funded Nigeria Health Workforce Management (HWM) Activity. The HWM Activity is a five-year task order to support the establishment of a cost-effective, well trained, and motivated health workforce, particularly in targeted rural and remote areas of Bauchi, Ebonyi, Kebbi, and Sokoto States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). By its conclusion, HWM is expected to have supported the production of 10,000 new health workers that are competent to respond to the current and future population health needs in these locations; improved the distribution and skill mix of front-line workers to meet specific local demands; and strengthened the capacity of pre-service institutions to adopt and apply innovative education approaches. Targeted interventions will contribute to 1) improved management of maternal, child, and newborn health conditions and 2) increased responsiveness to community health needs. USAID supports the Government of Nigeria’s (GON’s) commitment to plan, recruit, train, manage, and retain its primary healthcare (PHC) workforce. This activity will contribute to the achievement of USAID/Nigeria’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) Development Objective 2 “a healthier, more educated population in targeted states” and Intermediate Result (R) 2.1 “Utilization of quality health services in targeted areas and population groups increased.”
About the position
The Technical Director is based in Abuja and reports to the Country Director. The Technical Director will work with the team to ensure that HWM activities are of high quality and adhere to global standards, national policies, and best practices for human resources system strengthening.
