Associate, Pediatric TB-HIV

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 organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.

In 2006, CHAI signed an MOU with the Malawi government to strengthen health systems in the most challenged districts, provide national support to HIV/AIDS drug pricing and programmatic work, support the pilot and scale-up of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) initiatives, expand access to ART for children, strengthen Malawi’s lab system, and scale up an integrated nutrition program for children. Since then, CHAI’s support to Malawi has expanded to include Human Resources for Health; Health Financing; Pediatric HIV and TB; Reproductive, Maternal and Neonatal Health; and eHealth.

Position Overview:

CHAI is supporting the Government of Malawi to accelerate the scale up of pediatric antiretroviral therapy through a 3-year funding from ELMA Foundation. Currently adult coverage of antiretroviral therapy is 53%, but for children the coverage is about 35%. The program seeks to operationalize within the Ministry of Health effective strategies for identifying HIV-exposed and HIV-positive children, initiating them on treatment, and retaining them in care. Additionally, the program aims at improving case finding and identification of children exposed to and infected with active TB. The project combines technical and analytical support with hands-on implementation by CHAI. Strategies include development of tools and job aides to operationalize existing guidelines, review meetings at a district level, coordination of partner resources towards government ownership, and others. By the end of the program, the MOH will have a renewed focus on pediatric HIV and TB with an active subgroup meeting focused on pediatric HIV, fully operational provider-initiated testing and counseling model for children, adherence counseling provided at every facility offering ART, a widely scaled Mother-Infant Pair clinic model for mothers living with HIV, a strengthened system of service delivery for pediatric TB, and better electronic delivery systems for laboratory results. CHAI will coordinate all activities planned for the project, working closely with the MOH and other stakeholders.

CHAI is seeking an experienced, talented, highly motivated, creative, and flexible individual to contribute quantitative analysis and strategic thinking to CHAI’s Pediatric HIV and TB program as it enters its second year and seeks to reach ambitious targets. The associate will be responsible for production of high quality deliverables and analyses tailored to the audience and designed for impact.
