Project Context

Ubuntu 2: Strengthening Primary Health Care Project in Malinyi

The project aims to transform primary health care (PHC) by expanding access to essential services, improving quality of care, and fostering local ownership for sustainability. Despite progress, access remains limited due to geographical barriers, weak referral systems, poor infrastructure, and fragmented outreach, particularly affecting women, children, and chronically ill patients. The second phase of the project tackles these challenges through three strategies:

  • Improved Access via decentralized outreach using e-motorbike teams, mobile health units, and health insurance enrolment.
  • Improved Quality of Care through mentorship, supervision, and upgrading pharmacy/lab services.
  • Stronger Partnerships via MoUs, digital tools for data-driven decisions, and operational research.

Key Responsibilities

Finance

  • Prepare monthly/quarterly/annual financial reports with the Country Program Accountant.
  • Maintain petty cash, tax compliance, and timely bank payments with supporting documents.
  • Oversee procurement processes and asset register updates per SolidarMed guidelines.

Administration & Logistics

  • Supervise office staff (drivers, assistants) and manage procurement, supplies, and security.
  • Coordinate vehicle maintenance, scheduling, and logistics for workshops/field activities.

Your Profile

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting/Finance; CPA/ACCA certification is a plus.
  • 3+ years’ finance/administration experience, preferably in an international NGO.
  • Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with accounting systems.
  • Proactive, fluent in English, and with strong interpersonal skills.
