Team Leader for Local Fund Agent services in Kenya

SGS is Local Fund Agent (LFA) for the Global Fund (GF). In response to a tender for LFA services in Kenya, we would like to get in touch with potential Team Leaders. It is a part-time position, with most verifications conducted remotely, supplemented by occasional field visits. Our LFA teams—comprising financial, M&E, and PSM experts—verify local project implementation by the fund recipient and report their findings to the Global Fund in Switzerland. 

The Global Fund invests in projects worldwide to defeat HIV, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Kenya currently has six active grants from the Global Fund, primarily focused on health commodities and community-based programs. The funding supports:

• HIV: Prevention and treatment, elimination of mother-to-child transmission, PrEP scale-up, and private sector engagement.
• TB & RSSH: Targeting missing TB cases, strengthening lab systems, and improving access to health commodities.
• Malaria: Vector control, case management, and procurement of essential health commodities.
• COVID-19 Response Mechanism: Remaining funds are directed toward pandemic preparedness.

Implementation Arrangements of GF grants in Kenya:

• State Principal Recipient (PR): The National Treasury oversees three grants with the Ministry of Health as Lead Sub-recipient.
• Non-State PRs: Kenya Red Cross (HIV) and AMREF (TB/Malaria) implement community-based programs.

Please carefully read the minimum requirements for the position:

•        Master’s degree in Public Health, Finance/Accounting, Public Administration, Business Administration, Social Science, or other relevant discipline
•        At least 10 years of management experience, preferably in the health, social or financial sector.

o   Only experience in leading teams is applicable; merely holding a senior position does not qualify

•        In-depth knowledge of issues relating to project management in developing countries
•        Able to triangulate programmatic, financial and health product data and findings, to ensure adequate quality assurance of LFA deliverables
•        Strong communication, writing and analytical skills
•        Work experience in Kenya
•        Resident of Kenya
•        Experience with Global Fund programs

If you comply, please fill out the attached requirements table. We look forward to receiving your CV and the table. Thank you in advance!
