Technical Advisor, Analytics and Implementation Research (AIR) Team

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.

 

Analytics and Implementation Research (AIR) Team 

The Technical Advisor will be a member of CHAI’s Analytics and Implementation Research (AIR) Team and work closely with members from both CHAI country teams and global program teams.  

CHAI’s AIR Team is a results-driven team of public health experts strategically positioned at the center of CHAI’s geographic and disease priorities, maximizing health systems, and bringing innovations to scale. AIR has years of experience tackling problems within real-world health systems in resource-limited settings and a long history of well-regarded collaboration with partner governments and CHAI country and global teams. AIR’s work began in HIV and has expanded over the years alongside CHAI’s strategic focus, currently including maternal, neonatal and child health, sexual and reproductive health, vaccines, viral hepatitis, cervical cancer, COVID-19, diabetes, tuberculosis, and sickle cell disease. 

 

Program Support Areas 

This AIR Technical Advisor position will support work related to global women’s and newborn health (WNH). CHAI’s WNH program aims to ensure that all individuals are empowered to access information, products and services that will meet their sexual and reproductive health needs; to significantly reduce unmet need for modern contraception and the incidence of unsafe abortions in program countries; and to substantially reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.  To accomplish our goals, we’re pursuing 3 strategic objectives: 1) scale up access to new and underutilized products to increase choice for women and better meet their needs and preferences; 2) increase SRMNH commodity security through global and country supply chain strengthening and improved financing for SRMNH products; and 3) design and strengthen client-centric service delivery models that will reach key populations with SRMNH services. At the global level, CHAI is working to ensure that a diversified supplier base can meet demand for key SRMNH products and ensure commodities are affordable and of high quality. We also coordinate donors and partners around a global product strategy and to shape the broader WNH ecosystem. At the country level, CHAI works with governments to develop national SRMNH scale-up plans with clear targets; use data to coordinate partner resources against the plan and achieve targets; strengthen national forecasting and quantification; address supply chain bottlenecks; improve health worker training; and strengthen performance management for the health system.
