Overview

The AFGHS–Jhpiego project is funded by the U.S. Department of State (DoS) to support the delivery of lifesaving, comprehensive maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) and malaria services across Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. The project aims to improve service and data quality, strengthen health system integration and resilience, facilitate effective transition, and promote local ownership and accountability for sustained health outcomes. Jhpiego works closely with the Ministries of Health in Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, the Reproductive and Child Health Section (RCHS), the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP), the Zanzibar Malaria Elimination Programme (ZAMEP), and Regional Administration and Local Government (RALG) structures to align implementation with national priorities and strengthen government leadership and locally led implementation.
The Digital Health Advisor (DHA), reporting to the MEL Director, will provide technical leadership and support for the design, configuration, implementation, enhancement, and maintenance of digital health and monitoring systems across the MNCH and malaria portfolios. S/he will support DHIS2, mobile health applications, interoperable digital platforms, dashboards, and geospatial data systems to strengthen surveillance, service delivery monitoring, data quality, performance tracking, and evidence-based decision-making.

Working closely with MEL Advisors, technical teams, and government counterparts, the DHA will ensure digital solutions are functional, secure, user-friendly, and aligned with national health information systems and project reporting requirements. S/he will prioritize strengthening government capacity to manage, maintain, and utilize digital systems, promoting integration into existing national platforms, reducing reliance on parallel project systems, and supporting sustainable transition of digital health functions to government institutions.
