Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are core principles at United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories.

Office/Unit/Project Description
Globally and locally, the use of information and communications technologies and digital tools has gained increasing relevance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, to support efficient and effective delivery of health services ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes and accelerating progress across the health-related SDGs. Even though the digital tools such as eTracker and DHIMS2 have been deployed in Ghana, inadequate infrastructure for nation-wide roll out, insufficient analysis of data collected, and sub-optimal human resource capacity prevent the country from gaining maximum benefits from the use of digital tools. Looking at Ghana’s disease burden, it presents a complex picture. While malaria remains a major cause of morbidity, data from routine service delivery reveals the increasing burden of NCDs. Fight against the persistent disease – malaria is not straightforward. It requires an integrated solution that simultaneously addresses malnutrition and anemia given its interlinked association, and innovative ways to detect, diagnose, treat, and follow up cases. In combatting NCDs, prevention is the primary approach by controlling people’s unhealthy lifestyle choices. Hence, the need for a concerted and integrated approach that includes a mechanism and technologies for early detection and screening and health promotion in communities to address the double burden, especially within vulnerable communities. The project will use a multi-pronged approach to improve health service using digital solutions, encouraging behavior changes in communities, and piloting the use of state-of-the-art diagnostics. Furthermore, recognizing the importance of effective participation, partnership, and cooperation of multi-stakeholders such as Government, private sector, civil society, international organizations, technical and academic communities in developing the information society, the project will be implemented in multi-stakeholder partnerships mobilizing and sharing knowledge, expertise, technology, and resources. Through the co-creation of solutions and capacity building, it seeks to ensure the ownership by the skilled and empowered workforce, and thereby sustainability.
