Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.
At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org
CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.
Program Overview
CHAI’s Sexual and Reproductive Health team works to reduce unintended pregnancies and related impact of maternal mortality and morbidity by increasing access to essential reproductive health commodities and services. As part of this work, CHAI works in close collaboration with the government around various key work streams. They include defining solutions to improve the sustainability of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services including through providing technical assistance to the national exempt service financing and reimbursement exercise, and efforts to strengthen resource management for SRH commodity procurement including design, planning, funding allocation and monitoring processes for a commodity co-funding agreement. CHAI also provides technical assistance to the government to implement recommendations to strengthen SRH supply chain management at national and regional levels and to expand availability of SRH commodities through community pharmacies.
In addition, CHAI is supporting the introduction of several reproductive health products to LMIC markets, including hormonal IUD, medical abortion (MA) commodities, and subcutaneous injectable contraceptives (DMPA-SC). CHAI is also supporting the design and implementation of government-led product introduction and SRH market stewardship mechanisms across multiple countries in Africa, providing needed direction, leadership and coherence to donor-funded activities implemented by the broader SRH partner community.
The Associate will provide technical and programmatic support to program country teams in Africa to support execution of technical assistance to ministries of health. To support this work, CHAI’s Global SRH Team is seeking a highly motivated individual with prior experience supporting design and implementation of health financing reforms and strategies. In addition to having specific technical experience or skills relevant to health financing, the candidate should demonstrate willingness and ability to provide technical, programmatic and strategic support across all global SRH workstreams including enhancing SRH commodity security and supply chains; new SRH product introductions; and scale up of quality SRH services through the public and private sectors, including contraceptive services and safe abortion services (within national legal frameworks).
The Associate will report to the Global SRH Senior Program Manager. Base location is flexible within a CHAI SRH program in Africa, pending Country Director approval. Expected travel is 50%.
