Project Background
The Self-Care Accelerator Project (S-CAP) is a Bill Gate Foundation supported project directed at accelerating a country-led progress towards achieving universal health coverage by promoting the use and scale-up of self-care interventions in Nigeria. S-CAP is a one-year project which started in... 2022 and is currently on No Cost Extension (NCE) till end of November 2024.  The goal of S-CAP is to build on current momentum around DMPA-SC Self-Injection to accelerate the National Self-Care agenda in Nigeria. The S-CAP is therefore working with country stakeholders and facilitating the coordination, dissemination, domestication and implementation of SC scale-up in Nigeria.
Context
Nigeria was one of the first countries to respond to the World health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on Self-Care Interventions for Health. In pursuant of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) the FMOH constituted a multi-stakeholder group on self-care which included key representation from partners and FMOH. The development of the SC guidelines was a product of deliberations of a multi-stakeholder group constituted by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and in-country consultations that recommended the development of a country specific advocacy strategy and self-care guidelines. The development (2020) of the National Guideline on Self-Care for Sexual, Reproductive and Maternal Health was prioritized as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
John Snow, Inc. (JSI) is seeking a highly motivated Senior Program Officer to support the S-CAP in Nigeria. He/she will work in close collaboration with and provide administrative support to the In-country lead of S-CAP in Nigeria.
