CARE is an international humanitarian and development organisation
fighting global poverty, with a vision to which focuses on empowering women and
girls to fight poverty and bring lasting change to their communities. We work
in over 80 countries around the world. We work with partners to achieve lasting
results for marginalized communities.
We are looking for a Senior Officer position to join our Health and
Inclusive Governance team based in Tanna with regular travel to other sites.
The Health
and Inclusive Governance project is a pilot project supported by the Australian
Government’s Innovation Exchange to test new approaches to working with
communities and services providers to improve health. The project will be
working with Communities and the Ministry of Health and aims to increase the
active engagement of communities in health services and positively influence
the quality, efficiency and accountability with which services are provided. The project will be based on an adapted version of the CARE
International Community Scorecard (CSC) approach. The CSC brings together the
demand side and the supply side of a particular service, as well as relevant
government officials, to jointly analyse issues underlying service delivery
problems and develop joint plans for improvement.

this project is to contribute to improved health outcomes in Vanuatu through
piloting a community centered social accountability model for the health sector

effectiveness. The outcomes sought by the project are:

community health concerns, in particular the needs of women, girls and people
living with a disability
- Increase
engagement by communities in health including identifying and implementing
local solutions to health issues

responsiveness and social accountability of the health system to community
needs, especially needs of women, girls and people with disability
