JOB DETAILS:
However, MoH has continued to face challenges in capturing the true picture of achievements of the AMVC exercise in the country and effective utilization of the available financial resources to implement the AMVC. Challenges in capturing the true picture of our efforts have been mainly due to the massive data entry backlogs at district level that even now are still growing at an alarming rate, therefore, the need to support district level data entry, review and reporting are critical to this exercise. Additionally, one of the key lessons learnt during round one of the AMVC was the need to address challenges with funds flow arrangements at the district level that affected implementation of vaccine roll out activities. Some of the challenges identified include delay in receiving and accessing funds, gaps in completeness and accuracy of accountabilities received from districts among others. As such, MoH with support from USAID Uganda Health Systems Strengthening (UHSS) Activity will provide targeted support to five (5) districts (Kayunga, Mukono, Buikwe, Buvuma and Mpigi) in addressing vaccination data backlogs and any lingering financial management issues.
