Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

 

Program Summary

 

The country team has been engaged in Sierra Leone since 2015, initially supporting the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS) and the health sector’s recovery post-Ebola. In recent years, CHAI has expanded its support to the MoHS to include a focus on supply chain, sexual and reproductive health, and vaccines.

Immunization is one of the most successful public health interventions in history. National immunization programs reach >100 million infants every year and have averted globally two to three million deaths every year since the launch of the Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) in 1974. The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) works to save lives and reduce the burden from vaccine preventable diseases by improving access to immunization services in resource-limited settings by strengthening national immunization programs and by leveraging its experience in-country to improve the global immunization ecosystem.

The CHAI Vaccines team began formally supporting MoHS in July 2019 in strengthening data systems to improve supply chain and vaccine coverage as well as supporting preparations for the introduction of the HPV vaccine. Our support is focused on improving data quality and completeness, addressing stock outs, and restructuring performance management to target challenges in information availability and vaccine supply chain. CHAI work in collaboration with government to confirm key routine performance indicators, conduct workflow optimization exercises and incrementally improve information systems, implement a system of performance management based on data review and response, use data to inform improved supply chain activities, and support EPI on coordination and planning for the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Based in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the Analyst, Vaccines will support the coordination of the introduction of the Covid-19 vaccine in Sierra Leone under Covax. This breadth of work requires a candidate with strong organizational and interpersonal skills, a curious mind, and an entrepreneurial approach to work. This is a 6 month position with an expected project duration from March to August 2021.

CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic. We seek a highly committed and adaptable individual with a track record of delivering quality results with limited resources. The individual must be able to function independently and flexibly in a swift manner. CHAI hires exceptional individuals who can drive work plans to completion and meet milestones with little daily supervision.
