Assistant Programme Officer, Cervical Cancer Prevention And Control

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 the majority of our staff based in program countries. 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.
