Paediatric and Child Health Association (PACHA)
Job Title Research Assistant
Department PACHA
Project Government Revenue and Development in Malawi
Based at PACHA Office at COM Lilongwe Campus
Background*>
The Paediatric and Child Health Association (PACHA) is a non-profit making
organisation. Our members include healthcare professionals and other child
health and welfare advocates. Our main goal is the advancement and improvement
of child health and welfare and our mission is to ensure all children have
access to their determinants of health, in Malawi and beyond.
PACHA received funding to carry out a project, titled, “GRADE-Malawi” from the
Global Challenges Research Council and the Scottish Funding Council via the
University of St Andrews in Scotland. The aim is to develop the evidence base
on the effect of global and national policies on children’s right to health
and to analyse the potential of increasing government revenue by curtailing
leaks, such as through tax abuse or debt servicing. The analysis will use the
Government Revenue and Development estimations (the GRADE, http//med.st-
andrews.ac.uk/grade/). This will enable us to predict the potential of
increased revenue for all children in Malawi for their access to their
fundamental rights (defined here as the right to education, water, and
sanitation and critical for health), and reach the Sustainable Development
Goal target for child mortality by 2030; 25 deaths per 1000 live births
(currently 49 deaths per 1000 live births). This work will also be part of a
wider network of research with other paediatric associations. The study will
inform recommendations for policy and practice changes to address government
revenue leakages and improve child welfare in Malawi.
