Palladium Pakistan is looking for a Software Developer for its Evidence for Health programme in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The role is based in Peshawar and runs as a short-term technical assignment. Last Date to Apply: 18 November 2026.

Quick Facts

About the Evidence for Health Programme

Evidence for Health, known as E4H, is a Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office funded programme that strengthens Pakistan’s health system so it can handle emergencies, make decisions on solid evidence and deliver universal health coverage. Palladium implements the programme together with Oxford Policy Management, providing technical assistance to the federal, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab governments. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, one of the programme’s current priorities is public financial management reform in the health sector, and this developer role sits at the heart of that work.

What the Software Developer Will Build

The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has adopted a Facility Level Budget and Expenditure Management Policy for health, which moves budgeting for primary healthcare facilities from central control to the facilities themselves. Rural Health Centre in-charges are now being authorised as Drawing and Disbursing Officers, which means they can spend the budgets allocated to their own facilities. The developer will help turn that policy into working systems. The main product is a government-owned expenditure tracking application, called the FLB E-App, which will support facility-level budget preparation, scrutiny and consolidation, spending tracking and financial reporting, with consolidated information available to district and provincial management. The application will be hosted on government infrastructure and linked with government financial and health information systems such as IFMIS, DHIS-2 and the upcoming HISDU.

Work Plan and Timeline

The assignment runs from October 2026 to August 2027, and the developer’s input is 60 working days between October 2026 and March 2027, subject to final confirmation. The work is organised in four phases. Phase one, in November and December 2026, confirms functional requirements, existing specifications, data sources, hosting and security arrangements, and the technical resources needed, including an assessment of building the application on the DHIS 2 platform. Phase two, from January to March 2027, delivers a first release covering budget preparation and consolidation, targeted for the end of January 2027 to support the 2027–28 budget cycle. Phase three, from April to July 2027, adds expenditure tracking and financial reporting. Phase four, from June to August 2027, covers user acceptance testing, handover and documentation, after which the government teams take over the system.

Eligibility Criteria

• Education: A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field.
• Experience: At least 5 years of experience in web application development.
• Technical skills: User interface development, relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL, REST APIs and data integration, testing, and deployment on Linux servers.
• Desirable: Experience with government or donor-funded information systems, and DHIS 2 experience is an advantage.
• Working style: Able to work to agreed specifications, use version control, document code, test thoroughly and respond to user feedback.

Important Dates

Why This Role Matters

This is not routine website work. The application the developer builds will decide whether more than a hundred rural health centres can manage their own budgets properly, and whether district and provincial managers can see where public health money actually goes. The work is open-source first, government-hosted and built for handover, so the developer’s code, databases, documentation and administrator access all transfer to government repositories at the end. For a developer with five or more years of experience who wants their work to improve public services, this is a rare chance to build a system that stays in use long after the assignment ends.
