The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit:Â 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.
In 2010, CHAI launched a vaccine program to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with vaccine preventable diseases by improving access to immunization services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). One of the core pillars of this program was improving the availability and functionality of cold chain equipment (including solar-powered options) to increase the reach of cold chain networks and make substantial gains in vaccine equity.
Recently, CHAI has expanded the scope of this work to include solarization the full health facility to further enhance patient impact. Today, over 25% of primary health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa report having no access to power. This results in reduced operating hours, poor staff retention, limited service provision, and unsafe environments for nighttime deliveries; all of which contribute to unnecessary morbidity and mortality. A clean energy source that is increasingly fast and affordable to deploy, health facility solarization can have an outsized impact on the quality and availability of service delivery in LMICs.
HFSE is at a critical juncture as it transitions from small-scale pilots to broader initiatives aiming to solarize tens of thousands of facilities in sub-Saharan Africa by 2025. As a result, there is need to conduct global and country-level research to generate an evidence base that will contribute toward strengthening HFSE strategic planning, implementation, and long-term sustainability.
CHAI is seeking a Country Support Manager to landscape the HFSE ecosystem in 3-4 focal countries in sub-Saharan Africa, which will help inform the development of CHAI’s new program. This role will function as a core member of CHAI’s cross cutting HFSE team (currently housed within the broader Vaccines Markets Team) and will work alongside country teams to develop and lead this research. Broadly, these ecosystem analyses will entail desk research and secondary data compilation to landscape each country; on-the-ground research that seeks to uncover government, development partner, and private sectors capabilities, barriers, and opportunities within HFSE; and health facility assessments. This individual will be responsible for transforming these findings into a robust and succinct evidence base that will be publicly disseminated.
The individual will be expected to manage senior-level internal and external relationships, work with CHAI’s country and technical teams to devise evidence-based strategic plans and provide effective project management to execute high-impact research. The candidate will have substantial opportunity to shape CHAI’s approach in developing these programs across focus countries.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding leadership and project management skills. The candidate must be able to drive the development and implementation of this program with significant autonomy, have deep personal commitment to producing high-quality results, and have the ability to lead in a challenging and multi-cultural professional environment.
