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.Â
CHAI was founded in 2002 with a transformational goal: to help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV worldwide by dramatically increasing access to antiretroviral treatment. When CHAI was founded, many thought this goal was unrealistic because health systems in resource-limited countries were too weak and the prices of drugs and diagnostic tests were too high. CHAI has played a catalytic role, working alongside governments and other partners to reduce treatment costs and help build the national systems needed to provide life-saving treatments to millions of people.
While the organization remains committed to its original focus on HIV, CHAI has broadened its scope of work to focus on other under-addressed global health priorities where CHAI’s approach and expertise could have a transformative impact. These areas include: HIV; malaria; tuberculosis (TB); hepatitis C; cancer and non-communicable diseases; sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health; vaccines, diarrhea, pneumonia, chronic malnutrition and universal health coverage, including financing and human resources. In keeping with CHAI’s flexible approach and commitment to meeting the needs of governments, CHAI also implements programs outside of strategic areas at the request of government partners to address crises that arise in the countries where CHAI works. CHAI has a presence in more than 30 countries, operates more than 25 country offices and has more than 1,200 employees worldwide.
Position Overview:
Based in Cotonou, the Senior Program Manager, Malaria and NTD will report to the Benin Country Lead and will help ensure the overall success and shape CHAI’s malaria and NTD strategy for CHAI Benin. The Senior Program Manager will directly manage the CHAI malaria and NTD country team in Benin and oversee CHAI’s operational and technical support to the government. This is an exciting opportunity to lead and drive success of a new and ambitious malaria and NTD program in Benin. The successful candidate will manage all operational and programmatic aspects of CHAI’s malaria and NTD work in Benin, act as a trusted partner to government health officials and local organizations, and facilitate the involvement of CHAI’s global malaria and NTD team to support high-impact programs designed to reduce malaria and NTD mortality and morbidity.
CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities including resourcefulness, tenacity, independence, patience, humility, and strong work ethic. The Senior Program Manager does not need to have prior experience in malaria and NTD or health programs but should be someone skilled at solving difficult problems in complex settings. They must be fluent in French and English and have excellent relationship building and communication skills. They must also be able to function independently with minimal oversight and have a strong commitment to excellence with a keen eye for detail.
