Submissions Open - Advising on access to health services and interoperable data for decision-making in the Ethiopian humanitarian context

The FT Hub is looking for (a) health technical consultant(s) with extensive experience in health in humanitarian context, particularly in the areas of access to health services in emergencies and/or interoperable health data systems for decision-making, to support the demand-led exploration, root cause analysis, and market and landscape analysis of  key health challenges identified in Ethiopia.

Deadline for applications: 20th of January 2025 (08:00 GMT)

In Ethiopia FT Hub has consulted with key stakeholders to identify two key health challenges in the humanitarian contexts in Ethiopia: 

• Limited access to health services in humanitarian contexts  

• Fragmentation and limited interoperability of health data systems for decision-making in humanitarian contexts. 

The FT Hub and key ecosystem actors recognise that there is an opportunity to address these challenges through frontier or emerging technologies. As part of the FT Hub’s demand-led approach to deeply understand the context and collaboratively identify, co-design and test emerging or frontier technology to address the stated challenges, we are seeking a health technical expert to: 

1. Undertake a market and landscape analysis,  

1. Make recommendations of specific evidence-supported, demand-led use cases for addressing identified problem statements. 

1. Co-facilitate a validation and refinement workshop leading to the verification of specific use cases for solution design to be addressed with frontier solutions in a future phase of work. 

The FT Hub will prioritise local or regional consultants who have extensive experience in the health sector in Ethiopia, but international consultants are welcomed.   

We anticipate that there may be various scopes of work available throughout the FT Demand-Led innovation process exploring technologies for addressing health challenges in humanitarian contexts in Ethiopia and we invite applications from health technical experts who can potentially commit to a longer-term engagement with FT Hub demand-led exploration in Ethiopia.
