Job Summary: The post-holder will travel to assigned regions, and will work under the health system research directorate.
Project Information:
The Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) is a priority initiative of the Information Revolution, demonstrating the MOH’s intentions to further utilize technology and data to improve health service delivery, starting at the community level. The eCHIS is interconnected with the DHIS2 digital health systems to strengthen health data management. Towards this Simprints has established a new partnership with the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) and the MoH to provide technical assistance in support of the broader eCHIS program across 110 woredas. Through this initiative, Simprints supports the MoH in transitioning six woredas to fully paperless operations by the end of 2026 as part of a wider paperless pilot program. In addition, the program will leverage eCHIS data and infant biometric technology to verify service delivery and support incentive payments in Oromia and Somali regions. Through this survey, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute with support from Simprints/UK, would like to conduct an evaluation and implementation research titled ‘’ Provision of research and evaluation support for the electronic community health information system (eCHIS) and biometrics-enabled performance-based incentive projects in Ethiopia.”
This information generated from this research will help as an input for Ministry of Health and Regional Health Bureaus to know to what extent has eCHIS adoption changed over the last 5 years, to what extent has the adoption of eCHIS contributed to improvements in health service delivery, and to understand HEW perspectives related to their experience and use of the eCHIS system.
