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 health financing program supports Ministries of Health, Finance, and government insurers to substantially and sustainably improve population access to essential health services, towards the goal of universal health coverage. Financing for health is often insufficient and overly reliant on donors and individuals paying out of pocket at facilities. Donor contributions for health have plateaued, and in many countries are likely to decline in the coming years. While domestic resources for health are increasing, the rate of growth in government spending fluctuates, is often insufficient to meet population needs, and may not be spent efficiently. Countries supported by the global health finance team include Benin, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
CHAI’s health financing strategy supports governments to address these challenges through priority-setting and benefits package design; investment in upgrading health systems to deliver an optimized package of services; and strengthening or improving domestic financing through public financial management and strategic purchasing. At the request of governments, our strategy for health financing is expanding to include work in health systems and management, with a focus on building primary health care systems as the foundation of equitable UHC. At CHAI, staff work closely with government partners to support evidence-based decision making and to design systems to ensure resources go as far as possible so that providers can deliver quality care that patients can afford and access.
Position Overview:
The goal of the CHAI Malawi Health Systems Strengthening program is to support the Government of Malawi to progressively move towards universal health coverage through sustainably bringing more resources into the health sector and to ensure they are distributed and utilized equitably, efficiently and effectively for the delivery of high-quality health services. The CHAI Malawi Health Systems Strengthening team works closely with departments across the Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide technical assistance, develop analytical tools, and strengthen capacity to manage spending in Malawi’s health sector.
CHAI Malawi seeks a Technical Officer, Health Sector Monitoring and Evaluation, who will be seconded to the Ministry of Health and based in Lilongwe, Malawi. The Technical Officer will report to the MoH Deputy Director, Central Monitoring and Evaluation Division (CMED). For administrative and contracting issues, the Technical Officer will report to the Project Manager, Sustainable Health Financing at CHAI.
This is a challenging but rewarding position which will directly impact the government’s capacity to deliver improved health services for the population of Malawi. It presents an opportunity to work closely with a government that is committed to finding opportunities for sustainable financing of the health sector and delivering a stronger health system for the people of Malawi.
