The overall objective of Merlin’s work in Kenya is to contribute to a reduction of health inequalities and to a reversal in the current downward trend in health related indicators.

Merlin does this by responding to emergency needs as well as continuing to build on lasting working relationships with communities and local partners; supporting the strengthening of the Kenyan health system; approaching health problems with innovative interventions; developing answers to key practical questions through operational research; and using the lessons learned at local levels to feed into national-level programming and planning.

Merlin has been incorporating Maternal and Neonatal Child Health (MNCH) and sexual and reproductive health services into its primary health care programmes for the Kenya and Somalia programs.

This integration of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services component into existing primary health care projects, in conjunction with the respective Ministries of Health, has seen success in a number of Merlin operating countries in central and east Africa.

It is Merlin’s intention to capitalise on this experience, improve the quality of MNCH service and capture the lessons of this integration for further improvement and replication.

The postholder must have extensive reproductive health experience, MPH with emphasis on maternal health care having worked within a similar capacity, ideally within the NGO sector and, be a trained nurse or equivalent.

You will demonstrate experience in implementing, evaluating and monitoring activities in environments with limited resources and infrastructure.
