CHAI’s solution-oriented approach focuses on improving market dynamics for medicines and diagnostics; lowering prices for treatment; accelerating access to life-saving technologies; and helping governments build the capacity required for high-quality care and treatment programs.

Since its establishment in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, CHAI has worked on the demand and supply sides of the market to help more than 2 million HIV+ people access the medicines needed for treatment—representing nearly half of all people on HIV treatment in developing countries. Building on this model, CHAI has expanded its scope to include efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery systems and to combat malaria and childhood illnesses.

The Access to Medicines Coordinator will provide technical support to the Uganda Ministry of Health to enhance access to medicines for people affected by HIV, malaria and other infectious diseases. In close conjunction with the Ministry and NGO partners, the Coordinator will seek to optimize Uganda’s product selection, enhance the supply chain, and improve the drug forecasting process. The Coordinator will also help the Ministry of Health develop the internal capacity to recommend the optimal drug regimens and strengthen the systems that deliver those drugs to facilities.

The Coordinator must be a strategic thinker with exceptional quantitative skills and experience in managing complex programs. The Coordinator will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks, from quantitative analysis, and leading stakeholder meetings to gain consensus on proposed recommendations. The Coordinator will also spend time in the field, collecting data at low-level health facilities. The Coordinator must become quickly well versed in the costs, efficacy and side effects of diverse drug regimens and formulations. The Coordinator must be able to navigate politics and build relationships at every level. S/he must exhibit a passion for results and a commitment to excellence.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding credentials, analytical ability, and communication skills. The Coordinator must be able to function independently and flexibly, be a strong team player, build strong professional relationships, and have a strong commitment to excellence. CHAI places great value on the following qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic.

Responsibilities:

• Analyzing and presenting on drug optimization, in order to influence national guidelines and promote the rapid uptake of optimal regimens
• Identifying supply chain bottlenecks through comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis, including field research, and developing contingency mechanisms
• Building capacity among government employees to sustainably manage Access-related programs
• Supporting national drug forecasts and quantifications through quantitative analysis
• Making practical recommendations to improve system operations at key leverage points and presenting them to diverse stakeholders
• Developing and refining information management tools
• Other activities, as needed
