The Opportunity
Abt Global seeks a senior human resources for health (HRH) consultant to support the development of a career progression framework and a roadmap to formalize the integration of APS within the MOH HR structures. This assignment is part of the Community Health Workers (CHW) Activity being implemented in Mozambique under the USAID-funded Local Health System Sustainability Project (LHSS).

We work with partner countries and local stakeholders to reduce financial barriers to care and treatment, ensure equitable access to essential health services for all people, and improve the quality of health services. Led by Abt Global, the six-year project will build local capacity to sustain strong health system performance, supporting countries on their journey to self-reliance and prosperity.
