Founded in 2002, by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved market organization, management support, and strategic use of data to inform evidence-based, cost-effective policies and programs. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large-scale impact. Currently, CHAI’s teams are working side-by-side with over 20 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is looking for a Volunteer Health Financing Analyst to support CHAI’s in-country Health Financing efforts in several countries. The Health Financing team supports the governments of several countries to develop and implement robust strategic planning processes, pursue opportunities to obtain additional funding, and optimize the allocation of existing health resources for maximum impact. The Volunteer will work with the Country Team Program Manager, Analysts, and relevant stakeholders in the focus countries, to generate the evidence needed to inform decisions regarding strategic planning, optimal resource allocation, and new funding opportunities across the health sector.
The Volunteer will provide critical technical support in the quantification and mapping of funding needs and available resources, understanding current costs of interventions, and helping the governments identify funding gaps and areas where funding can achieve greatest impact. The Volunteer will be a part of a team that works very closely with several partners in each of the target countries including, but not limited to: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, donors, NGOs, and civil society. The Volunteer will be called upon to support these efforts both strategically and analytically.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding credentials, with strong analytical abilities, and communication skills. The Volunteer must be able to function independently and flexibly and have a strong commitment to excellence. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic.
