ThinkWell is a member of the FHI360-led consortium implementing the USAID Enhancing Quality of Healthcare Activity II (EQHA II) project (2024-2028) in Cambodia. ThinkWell’s role in the EQHA II project will be to support an initial in-depth analysis of the health quality governance landscape in Cambodia that will inform the co-development and collaborative implementation of resource allocation strategies designed to ensure the sustainability of Cambodia’s quality improvement and assurance (QI/QA) systems. Specifically, ThinkWell will provide direct support to the key Cambodian QA/QI institutions, including the Private Health Service Providers Association of Cambodia, the health professional councils, the Cambodia Healthcare Accreditation Commission, and the Ministry of Health (MOH) Quality Assurance Office to build capacity through the development of annual business plans and enhanced financial management practices that improve resource availability and allocative efficiency.
The Data Analyst will provide technical, analytical, and coordination support across various activities with public and private sector partners. The Data Analyst brings quantitative skills and is willing to learn qualitative skills, research capacity, and a solid understanding of the design, implementation, and evaluation of health system reforms.
