To support the assignment, the USAID Rwanda Health Systems Strengthening (RHSS) Project is seeking qualified professional(s) to carry out the functional analysis of the HIGE. The consultant(s) will work closely with the RHSS Project team throughout the entire assignment. RHIC has approached the RHSS Project and requested technical assistance to carry out a functional analysis (FA) of the Rwanda HI environment and governance functions. The main objectives of the FA are to:
- Analyze how critical and essential functions of a well-governed HI national environment are currently defined, understood, assigned, and covered by the various key institutional players/actors in Rwanda;
- Identify gaps in essential functions; and
- Provide decision-makers with policy options and recommendations towards better governance of the HI ecosystem.
The assignment will involve developing a conceptual framework that clearly describes the ideal situation for a well-governed HI environment. The framework, coupled with a thorough situation analysis, will define the current HI environment in Rwanda in a structured way.
The formal setting: Clearly understand the roles and functions of concerned actors as formally defined and assigned (set up) by laws, regulations, Ministerial orders, etc. Clearly determine how key roles and functions are defined and assigned. This is to identify gaps in the formal settings definitions and attributions compared to the referenced conceptual framework retained for the FA.
Compliance with the formal setting: Assess whether formally defined and assigned roles and functions are actually assumed and exercised by the concerned actors or not; if they are, measure the extent to which they are understood and/or applied; if not applied, identify why and which institution is presumed to assume and exercise the given role and function. This is to understand actors’ degree of understanding and compliance with formal settings in place.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK DESIGN AND FA IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
The assignment will be performed in two main phases/steps:
- Elaboration of the conceptual framework and the situational analysis: The first part of the assignment will entail consultant(s) to undertake a thorough and extensive desk review of existing HI laws, policies, regulations and existing frameworks (from the literature) to identify and adapt or develop a conceptual framework that incorporates the vision and broader functions of a well governed HI environment and how the different players relate to each other. The conceptual framework will guide the situation analysis and gaps identifications of the current HI environment. Additionally, the consultant(s) will consult key informants through interviews and focus group meetings to obtain their perspectives on the current situation, on what a well-functioning HI environment entails and the best way forward.
- Analysis of gaps and formulation of policy options and recommendations: This part of the assignment will consist in identifying the gaps in the governance of the current HI environment and formulating policy options and recommendations to address them.
Two deliverables will be prepared, one at the end of each step:
- Report - part one: conceptual framework, situational analysis of the HI environment in Rwanda;
- Report - part two: gaps analysis and formulation of policy options and recommendations.
Both reports will be subject to reviews for inputs and validation. The design and implementation of the study will be done in close consultation with RHIC and MOH. A steering committee of the FA will be set-up to guide and oversee its design and implementation. The consultant(s) will advise on the composition and establishment of the committee and contribute to the elaboration of the TORs for the committee.

MSH is a nonprofit international health organization with nearly 1,200 people from over 74 nationalities working in over 30 countries. Our mission: Saving lives and improving the health of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people by closing the gap between knowledge and action in public health. Together with our partners, we are helping managers and leaders in developing countries to create stronger management systems that improve health services for the greatest health impact.
MSH understands that the ability of a country to achieve desired health outcomes is determined in part by the totality of the complex functions of a health system. A health system, however, is more than the sum of its individual components; each function interacts with and depends upon the others and is affected by a wide range of social, cultural, political and economic factors that together create a country’s unique set of challenges and opportunities. When considered from this broader perspective, health systems are understood not only in terms of structure and function, but in a more dynamic interplay of behavioral characteristics. Systems thinking can open powerful pathways to identifying and resolving health system challenges. MSH is consolidating learning from our systems-strengthening approaches—as well as from the broader global health and development field—to better infuse practical systems-thinking across our programming.
This GHSI summer intern will join a task force of MSH technical experts to support this effort. The intern will conduct a landscape analysis on the application of systems thinking approaches in addressing global health challenges and improving the performance of health systems in low-resource settings—including reviewing relevant published literature, as well as gathering implementation experience from MSH experts in our various projects around the world through interviews and virtual discussions. This analysis will be critical to ensuring that MSH’s refinements to its systems thinking for health approach build upon evidence-based practice.
What are the student takeaways:
- Applied learning and experience conducting literature reviews and analyses to inform global health program design and implementation
- Practical understanding of Global Health projects, including implementation of health systems strengthening principles in practice
- Enhanced cross-cultural management in global health organization context
- Final deliverable to be co-designed by intern and GHSI experts
- Hands-on exposure to global health program development and organizational expertise through mentorship, research interviews, attending meetings, and supporting GHSI technical experts to review and refine our technical approach across projects.
