POSITIONRehabilitation Expenditure in Health Accounting Support to NepalLOCATIONNepal
Project BackgroundThe Health Systems Strengthening Accelerator (Accelerator) is a global initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through a Cooperative Agreement, with co-funding from the Bill amp; Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). Its goal is to strengthen institutions and processes, build local expertise, and support countries as they co-create, innovate, and adapt, in order to build more effective and sustainable health system interventions on their journeys to self-reliance. The program’s approach supports local partners as they lead implementation and find their own pathways to meaningful and lasting health systems change. The Accelerator is led by Results for Development.Improving Rehabilitation Expenditure Data in National Health AccountsRehabilitation expenditure data collection, analysis, and utilization for policymaking is important to ensure value for money. However, few countries report rehabilitation expenditure data in their national health accounts and the data quality of those who do is inconsistent. This is due to several different challenges, including the limited guidance on tracking rehabilitation expenditure provided in the System of Health (SHA) 2011 framework, difficulty in collecting data across different financing schemes due to the fragmented nature of rehabilitation funding, and difficulty with disaggregating health expenditure data for rehabilitation services.The Inclusive Development Hub of USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) has engaged with the Accelerator to empirically investigate challenges in tracking and collecting rehabilitation expenditure data in national health accounts (NHAs). In partnership with the World Health Organization, the Accelerator will develop a technical note to SHA 2011 on tracking rehabilitation expenditure data in NHAs using the SHA 2011 framework. The technical note will serve as a practical step-by-step guide for health accounting professionals engaging in this process, in addition to offering guidance on how to overcome common challenges in collecting and generating reliable estimates of rehabilitation expenditure. Scope of Work
  • The Accelerator is seeking a consultant to support rehabilitation expenditure tracking in Nepal. The Accelerator has drafted guidance on tracking rehabilitation expenditure under SHA 2011 that the selected consultant will apply, test, and refine based on the experience of Nepal. This process will involve conducting the country rehabilitation expenditure tracking following the SHA2011 framework and using the draft rehabilitation guideline to support the implementation process in Nepal. The process will include primary and secondary data collection, data mapping, and analysis. Stakeholder interviews may also be needed where data is inaccessible. The selected consultant will collaborate with the Accelerator to apply lessons learned from the study to evaluate the efficacy and relevancy of the draft guidance and revise it as needed. This guidance will serve as the basis for the final technical note to SHA 2011.
