Finance Consultant at Abt Global Tanzania November 2024

Abt
is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for applicants with
disabilities during our recruitment process. If you require such an
accommodation, please send an email to our Human Resources team at accessibility@abtglobal.com with your full name, email address, job you are applying to and the nature of your accessibility issue.

Job Description
Background:
Launched in October 2022, the Healthcare Electrification and Telecommunications Alliance (HETA)
is Power Africa’s flagship initiative for health facility
electrification and digital connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa,
implemented by Abt Associates in partnership with RESOLVE, Inc,
Bechtel.org and Orange. As a global development alliance (GDA),
our approach is to catalyze public-private partnerships to co-invest
and collaboratively develop sustainable business models that increase
access to reliable, renewable energy and internet connections for health
facilities across the region.

We are exploring a range of
context-driven business models that approach energy as a service—paying
for electricity delivered rather than equipment installed. Successful
business models will generate revenue to ensure long-term operations and
maintenance of the systems—addressing a key challenge for
sustainability and creating job opportunities in the communities where
we work.

Access to finance consultant:
The Access to
Finance Consultant(s) will enable 100 private sector health facilities
to secure financing for solar PV solutions from private financial
institutions in East Africa, with a primary focus on Tanzania and/or
Kenya (50 facilities in each country). On the supply side, the
consultant will identify and engage with local financial institutions to
assess the willingness to provide financing, terms of financing and
appetite to develop/pilot innovative finance products tailored to the
needs of the private health facilities. The consultant will also work
closely with local financial institutions to showcase the
financial/business proposition of health facility electrification and
facilitate matchmaking of appropriate financiers to the health
facilities.

On the demand side, the consultant will be expected to
support private partners to demonstrate their financial viability to
local financial institutions and identify appropriate financiers and
financial products in the Tanzanian and/or Kenyan markets that can meet
their needs. The consultant will support private health facilities to
access existing financial products that can be used for HFE efforts in
the respective countries. The consultant will provide targeted technical
assistance (TA) to local private sector health partners, with a focus
on network aggregators (e.g., faith-based or for-profit networks, social
franchises).

HETA expects to award 1-2 deliverable-based
consultant agreements. These agreements will be for a duration of
approximately one year and may be geographically focused (i.e.
Tanzania-based or Kenya-based) or may cover both countries.

Scope of Work:
Task
1: Identification of Health Facilities Seeking Financing for HFE:

• The
  consultant, in coordination with HETA country teams, will conduct
  outreach to engage health facilities across Tanzania and/or Kenya,
  identifying those with interest in financing options for
  electrification. This work will take place as part of HETA’s broader
  initiatives to support private health care facilities and private
  provider networks to develop business cases for investing in off-grid
  solar PV systems.

Task 2: Assessment of Opportunities for
Financing for HFE in Tanzania:

• Identify Key Financial Players: The
  consultant will conduct an assessment to identify local financial
  institutions (banks, microfinance institutions, etc.) willing to provide
  loans to health facilities for HFE in Tanzania and/or Kenya. This
  report will confirm available lending and investment products, and an
  assessment of terms and requirements to access financing for HFE.
• Financial
  Needs and Constraints Analysis: The consultant will evaluate the
  financial needs, constraints, and capacities of targeted health
  facilities to better understand barriers to financing and propose
  appropriate solutions.

Task 3: Stakeholder Engagement and
Relationship Building Facilitate Stakeholder Engagements:

• The consultant
  will participate in HETA-led workshops and awareness sessions with
  USAID IPs and private health facility networks to confirm stakeholders’
  interest and support.
• Broker Partnerships with Financial
  Institutions: Building on the results of Task 2.a, the consultant will
  lead HETA’s efforts to build partnerships with financial institutions to
  solidify their interest and willingness to use existing lending
  products to support health facility electrification initiatives. The
  consultant will also match health facilities in need of financing with
  appropriate financial institutions and products.

Task 4:
Technical Assistance to Private Health Sector Partners:

• Prepare Health
  Facilities for Financing: The consultant will assist health facilities
  and private health networks in developing and presenting due diligence
  documents and other relevant materials to demonstrate loan readiness to
