Analyst, Malaria & Health Systems Strengthening

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 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 skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work:

Position Overview

CHAI is seeking a resourceful, self-directed Analyst to help build its malaria work in Senegal. Reporting to the Associate and Country Director, the Analyst will help establish CHAI’s partnership with the National Malaria Control Program (PNLP) and other Ministry of Health directorates. They will identify where CHAI can add the most value and help raise the funding needed to grow the portfolio.

The program is still taking shape, so the Analyst will help lay its foundations. They will map the donor and partner landscape, analyse programmatic and epidemiological data to set priorities, and contribute to concept notes and proposals. They will also help shape CHAI Senegal’s malaria strategy together with CHAI’s regional and global malaria teams. In addition, the Analyst will provide targeted support to Health Systems Strengthening efforts, particularly digital tools used in mass malaria campaigns such as seasonal malaria chemo prevention and bed net distribution.

The ideal candidate builds trusted relationships with government counterparts, writes clearly and persuasively, and is comfortable setting their priorities in a changing environment. The role is expected to grow as the malaria portfolio develops, which makes it a strong opportunity for someone eager to take on more responsibility over time.

Establish and maintain strong working relationships with the Malaria Program and other Ministry of Health directorates involved in the fight against malaria.

Identify, in collaboration with the Malaria Program, the gaps, priorities, and opportunities where CHAI could provide technical or financial support.
