JaRco Consulting PLC is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team of highly committed and motivated staff. JaRco provides equal employment opportunities to all qualified persons regardless of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, or marital status.

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.

CHAI is currently operating in Ethiopia carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across hospital management; maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; nutrition; vaccines; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

The Government of Ethiopia has supported significant improvements in health over the past decade and now aims to accelerate progress to deliver quality essential health services to its growing population of close to 100 Million people. To achieve this goal, Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance schemes with the goal of reaching most of the population by 2020. If successful, Ethiopia will set an example for all other countries working towards the goal of universal health coverage on the continent.

To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the newly-staffed Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges of insurance scale-up across a large and diverse country. This includes making evidence-based decisions in key areas such as the initial design of the benefits package and premium rates, as well as setting up processes to continuously revise these decisions. There will also be a need to strengthen core operations for successful enrollment, provider payment, and financial management. As experience from other countries has shown, the early stages of launch will determine the success of the reform.

CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in health financing over the past few years and has been asked by senior leadership to provide more comprehensive support to all of these areas in order to ensure this reform has the intended outcomes in increasing access to quality care for all in need. Ethiopia will be a flagship program for CHAI's health financing work; shaping our engagements in health insurance in other contexts.

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical capabilities to serve as Senior Associate, to support the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency as the Agency oversees the launch of social health insurance and the expansion of community based health insurance.

The Senior Associate will spend the majority of his or her time working from within the Insurance Agency at the headquarters and branch office level. He or she will provide direct support to key directorates of the Agency such as Providers Affairs, Membership, Finance, Research and Information Technology. The Senior Associate will be part of a small, but growing CHAI team.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Serve as an advisor to the Health Insurance Agency's headquarters and branch offices, responding to strategic questions from leadership as they arise.
• Work on deliverables with Agency staff in the following areas: benefits design, member management, provider management, pooling and finance, management information systems, and information technology. This includes: Design and implementation of research and analyses to respond to key questions; Development of policies and strategies; Development of and training on standard operating procedures, processes and tools.
• Set up systems to facilitate monitoring and early identification of problem areas during the roll-out and implementation of the insurance scheme and work with management to address these problems as they arise.
• Build process management and technical capacity within the Insurance Agency at headquarters and branch offices. This includes conducting some formal training as well as day to day support.
• Serve as a liaison between directorates at headquarters and branch offices to ensure that insurance is rolled out in a standardized manner.
• Work with other stakeholders and external experts as needed.
• Other responsibilities as requested by supervisor.

CHAI works in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and this health insurance reform is a top priority for the government. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is a fast learner and who is both detail oriented and has the ability to ask the key questions or see the “big picture.” CHAI places great value on resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, flexibility, independence, energy, work ethic and humility.

Qualifications include the following:

• Master's degree preferred in a related field such as economics, public health, financial management, public policy
• 5-7 years of professional experience in demanding, results-oriented environments in the public sector and/or private sector (e.g., management consulting); Experience working in health or life insurance in developed or developing countries is an advantage;
• Strong organizational skills;
• Ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced environment;
• Ability to learn on the job quickly through research and absorb and synthesize a broad range of information;
• Ability to navigate ambiguous and complex processes and be flexible;
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build relationships;
• Strong communication skills, including delivery of compelling presentations (in Microsoft PowerPoint) and documents (in Microsoft Word);
• Excellent problem solving, analytical and quantitative skills, including attention to detail and fluency in Microsoft Excel;

Background

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries throughout the world, including Ethiopia. DRC fulfills its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict-affected populations, including refugees, internally displaced people and host communities. Under its mandate, the organization focuses on emergency humanitarian response, rehabilitation and post-conflict recovery.

DRC commenced work in Ethiopia in 2009 and currently provides expertise in shelter, WASH, livelihoods and protection in the Gambella and Somali regions of the country. Activities implemented by DRC are funded by money raised from the Danish public and by project grants from the Danish government and other bilateral and multi-lateral donors.

DRC is in the process of starting a new program in Tigray regional state, where the organization anticipates implementing a variety of youth protection activities in Hitsats, Shimelba, Mai-Aini and Adharush refugee camps, which are currently hosting a combined population of over 30,000 Eritrean refugees.

Overall Objective

Working under the direct management of the Shire-based Area Manager, the Program Manager will be responsible for the overall implementation and strategic direction of the organization's current and future protection and mixed migration activities in Tigray regional state.

The Program Manager will ensure the successful implementation of all protection and mixed migration related activities and will work collaboratively with the Area Manager to monitor the operating context to ensure DRC's protection and mixed migration programing is relevant and responsive to priority humanitarian needs and the organization's strategic direction.

Consultancy task: to carry out technical economic analysis to support the case for streamlining policy processes and procedures under which cereals export restrictions are imposed and revoked in Ethiopia

Background:
The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) is a not-for-profit organization formed in 2006. AGRA’s mission is to catalyze agricultural transformation in Africa through, innovation-driven and sustainable, productivity increases and access to finance that improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.

AGRA is implementing a five year Micro Reforms for African Agribusiness (MIRA) project in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania. MIRA will provide these governments with access to high quality local and international technical assistance for identifying, prioritizing and reforming specific agricultural regulations that currently deter or limit private investment in agribusinesses operating in smallholder agricultural value chains. In doing so, the MIRA project will help to build the capacity of African governments to continuously review and reform regulations that unintentionally limit private investment in local agribusinesses operating in the smallholder value chains.

In Ethiopia, MIRA and government counterparts have identified and prioritized 5 reforms:

• Develop and approve a comprehensive contract farming legal framework that supports agro-processing and value addition
• Revisit import duties on agricultural machinery spare parts, irrigation/drainage equipment, and animal feed ingredients and compound feeds and reduce their burden on this sector
• Revisit taxes on agricultural machinery spare parts, irrigation/drainage equipment, and animal feed ingredients and compound feeds, and reduce their burden on this sector (including double taxation on animal feed)
• Develop and approve Directive/Guidelines for streamlining of policy processes and procedures under which cereals export restrictions are introduced and revoked
• Develop and approve Directives and Technical Guidelines to implement the Seed Proclamation and Council of Ministers Seed Regulation

As part of its support to the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA), AGRA wishes to undertake a series of economic assessments and legal reviews to build the case for various

reform options. The reviews are intended to help the ATA and its Transformation Council, and other relevant government agencies in articulating policy, legal, and regulatory review options.
Context for this consultancy work
As stated above developing and approving Directive/Guidelines for streamlining of policy processes and procedures under which cereals export restrictions are introduced and revoked is one of the policy reform area that MIRA supports in Ethiopia.
Many countries had imposed export restrictions on essential food stuff to mitigate high and volatile world prices and to protect domestic consumers during the food crisis in 2007-2008. Since 2007, Ethiopia, for longer periods of time, had a de facto ban on cereal exports to stabilize domestic prices. These types of export bans might be lowering the prices of food in the short run, but in the longer run, export restrictions have been found to reduce incentives to invest in agricultural production and processing.
Government of Ethiopia (GoE) had provisionally lifted the maize export ban in November 2014 by allowing producers and investors (as opposed to traders) to export the maize they had produced in 2013/14 and 2014/15 production seasons as there was a bumper harvest that could potentially depress domestic prices and hurt producers. However, the way the decision to lift the ban has been made and communicated to stakeholders (and public at large) was not clear enough, and was not widely and repeatedly communicated so as to create confidence for stakeholders to seriously consider maize export. The only official communication of the GoE decision to lift the maize export ban was a letter from Ministry of Trade to Ministry of Agriculture, in which, the former requested the latter to provide “volume of production for that season by each and all of “investors” engaged in maize production in the country.” Immediately after the ban had been lifted, it was not clear whether farmer cooperatives are also allowed to export until the definition of “investors engaged in maize production” (stated in the letter) was later clarified by Ministry of Trade to include farmer cooperatives.
The maize export ban has been imposed ‘temporarily’ again in late 2015 with the objective of mitigating the effects of the drought in the country. The current export ban has been put in place once again without wide consultations with stakeholders and the decision itself was not communicated adequately, timely, and widely to help market actors to properly plan their planting and marketing decisions.
Objectives of the Consultancy:
The main objective of this consultancy is, therefore, to undertake in-depth technical economic analysis of the impacts of unpredictable decisions in imposing and lifting export bans on exporters; document international best practices – both from the region and globally- on mechanism to ensure that cereals export restrictions are introduced and reintroduced in a predictable and transparent manner. In reviewing best practices, ways of promoting transparency and clear notification procedures before export restrictions are introduced is central to the analysis. Moreover, means to ensure that the government’s commitment to a predictable process where export ban cannot be imposed during the marketing year would be considered. The analysis would distil best practices for how the government retains policy space

to act in times of short-term food crisis at the same time as there is a system in place to ensure that the government is not acting arbitrarily.
Specifically, the consultant will perform the following tasks:
• Conduct an assessment of how export restrictions on food stuff has been applied in Ethiopia and the impacts of unpredictable decisions on exporters and on the business environment in general;
• Provide a brief comparative analysis of the policy decision on export bans in Ethiopia in light of the World Trade Organization regime governing export restrictions on food stuff ;
• Undertake a review of best international practices of different forms of export restrictions on food stuff used in other countries both from the region and globally and compare to Ethiopia’s and the pros and cons of the practices. The analysis should describe forms of export restrictions countries are using e.g. different forms of export taxes, minimum export prices, quotas as well as various mixed models. Assess which of these forms of export restrictions on food stuff constitute international best practices and whether they are feasible for the Ethiopian context;
• Review international best practices –both from the Eastern and Southern Africa region and globally- on mechanism to ensure that export restrictions on food stuff are introduced and reintroduced in a predictable and transparent manner. In reviewing best practices, ways of promoting transparency and clear notification procedures before export restrictions are introduced is central to the review. Moreover, means to ensure that the government’s commitment to a predictable process where export quotas cannot be reduced during the marketing year should be considered. The review should distil best practices for how the government is retaining the capacity to act in times of short-term food crisis at the same time as there is a system in place to ensure the private sector that the government is not acting arbitrarily, but that export restriction measures are proportional, transparent and predictable; and
• Considering the findings from the literature review, interviews with stakeholders, comparison with international best practices, and cost-benefit analysis, develop recommendations that are suitable for the Ethiopian context. These recommendations should strive to create a more predictable and transparent system with a focus on practical solutions. The recommendations should consider ways of clarifying the parameters for the restrictions (objective justifications for the restriction, what is restricted, the timeframe, exceptions etc.) how the restrictions are communicated and made available to the public and means to make the introduction and reintroduction of restrictions more predictable for the private sector.
Scope and approaches of the consultancy
The contractor shall undertake the necessary technical economic analysis (including cost-benefit analysis) and comparative analysis using the following approaches:

• Review of the literature and interviews with key stakeholders. Key stakeholders include but are not limited to the Ministry of Trade, the Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority, the Ministry of Industry, sectorial organizations and private enterprises
• Review international best practices of policy processes and procedures for imposing and revoking cereals export restrictions
• Carry out a cost-benefit analysis to identify recommendations for Ethiopia to improve policy processes and procedures under which cereals export restrictions are imposed and revoked

• Familiarize consultancy work team with salient details of the proposed consultancy
• Identify and review relevant literature, regional and multilateral frameworks, and national legislations and administrative practices relevant to proposed reforms;

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that a business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.

CHAI Ethiopia is currently carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across hospital management; maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; nutrition; vaccines; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

Job Requirements

The Government of Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance with the goal of reaching most of its population of 100 million people by 2020. The government is scaling up community-based health insurance for the informal sector, rolling out social health insurance for the formal sector, and harmonizing these two schemes under a national insurance scheme. This is one of the most ambitious health financing reforms on the continent, with the potential to transform the health system and move the country closer to its goal of universal health coverage. However, if the launch is implemented poorly the scheme could not only fail, but set the health sector back.

To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the leadership of the newly formed Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges. There is a need to develop management structures with clear roles and responsibilities. There is also a need to generate evidence and inform design decisions such as the benefits package, contribution rates, pooling strategy and provider payment mechanisms. Finally, it will be critical to develop end to end processes for successful enrollment, claims management and financial management.

CHAI has been asked by the Minister of Health and senior leadership of the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency to provide comprehensive support in all of these areas to ensure that the insurance reform has the intended outcomes. Ethiopia will be a flagship program for CHAI's work in health insurance, shaping our engagement in other countries.

Responsibilities:

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical and managerial capabilities to play a leadership role in our engagement in insurance in Ethiopia. The Senior Technical Advisor will manage and provide technical input to a large CHAI team. He or she will work closely as an advisor to the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency's Director and Deputy Director. He or she will also work with a range of partners and external experts. Working with CHAI's global health financing team, the technical advisor will design a long term strategy for CHAI's insurance work in Ethiopia and across other countries.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Supervise a team of CHAI staff working across different directorates of the Health Insurance Agency, providing both managerial input and technical input.

• Work with CHAI staff and the Health Insurance Agency in areas ranging from benefits design, to member management, provider management, pooling and finance, management information systems, and information technology. This will include the following:

• Respond to key strategic questions by designing and implementing research and analyses;

• Present research and analyses to stakeholders and work with the Health Insurance Agency to use this information to develop evidence based strategies, policies and procedures;

• Pilot, roll-out and continuously improve core business processes.

• Set up systems to facilitate monitoring and early identification of problem areas during the roll-out and implementation of the insurance scheme, working with management to address these problems as they arise.

• Build management and technical capacity within the Insurance Agency, working directly with the Director, Deputy Director and Directors of various units at the headquarters and regional level.

• Serve as a key contact for stakeholders working in Ethiopia, coordinating and participating in technical working groups.

• Leverage external expertise, working with universities, partners and other public insurance schemes to respond to key strategic questions.

• Document Ethiopia's experience for donors, stakeholders and other governments.

• Contribute to the design of CHAI's health insurance strategy in Ethiopia and across other countries.

• Other responsibilities as assigned by CHAI leadership and the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency.

CHAI works in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and this health insurance reform is a top priority for the government. This individual would need to be able to shape CHAI's engagement and the public insurance scheme, and should therefore be technical as well as a strong strategic thinker. He or she should also have relevant experience in insurance from other contexts. CHAI places great value on resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, flexibility, independence, energy, work ethic and humility.

Qualifications and advantages include the following:

• Advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in a related field such as health economics, public health, financial management, public policy preferred;
• 7-10+ years of professional experience in demanding, results-oriented environments in the public sector and/or private sector (e.g., management consulting);
• Experience working in health or life insurance in developed or developing countries;
• Experience designing, managing and implementing projects and teams;
• Excellent problem solving, analytical and quantitative skills, including attention to detail;
• Ability to work independently, set priorities and handle multiple tasks simultaneously;
• Ability to learn on the job quickly and absorb and synthesize a broad range of information;
• Ability to navigate ambiguous and complex processes and be flexible;
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to achieve consensus amongst stakeholders;
• Strong communication skills, including delivery of compelling presentations and documents;
• Strong command of the English language; and
• Willingness to travel within Ethiopia as needed.
