Data Clerks (HR records management and IHRIS Data Consultant) – 5
positions
Application Closing Date: June 17, 2019
Period of Performance: June 24 – 30 September 2019
Length of assignment: up to 50 working days.
Overview of the assignment
The Ministry of Health (MOH) in collaboration with GIZ is seeking a technical expertise of 5
national consultants to support Human Resources officers (HROs) in 5 south east counties
(Grand Gedeh, Sinoe, River Gee, Grand Kru and Maryland) with data collection, imputation
and reporting and ensure employees’ records (Hard copies files and Integrated HR
Information System – IHRIS - data base) are up to date. These consultants will work as data
clerks and will be supervise by the County Health Team HROs and a regional coordinator
who will have technical oversight and provide backstopping support for their work
General introduction
The Integrated Human Resource Information System (IHRIS) is a Free, open source system
distributed under the General Public License (GPL), to supply health sector leaders and
managers with the information they need to assess human resource problems, plan effective
interventions, and evaluate those interventions. The suite includes: iHRIS Manage, iHRIS
Qualify, iHRIS Plan, iHRIS Retain, and iHRIS Train. In 2013, the MOH introduced (iHRIS) to
help manage health workforce information for enhanced data-informed decision making.
Over the years, several partners have supported the MOH to implement IHRIS, including the
USAID Collaborative Support for Health (CSH) Program, which provided training and
mentoring in 3 counties, including Bong, Nimba, and Lofa. In addition, CSH, in partnership
with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), trained all county HROs on iHRIS in late
2017, developing an operation manual to assist implementation.
More recently, GIZ has supported the 5 counties of the south east, namely Grand Gedeh,
Grand Kru, Maryland, River Gee and Sinoe, to ensure that each member of staff has an
IHRIS record with a minimum set of data included and assigned to their correct facility.
Despite these interventions, it is still not yet a usable tool for decision and information as its
completion to certain standard and the accuracy of its data is still questionable. This
Consultancy process should be a way for a one off solution to achieve at least 80%
coverage with IHRIS Manage in all of the south eastern counties supported by GIZ.
