Justification

The Government of Rwanda has achieved most of the MDGs including the targets on water and sanitation. Despite this steady improvement in realizing the right to sanitation, 38% of the population do not have access to basic sanitation services, and according to the 2014-15 Demographic Health Survey, only 5% of Rwandans have a hand washing facility with soap and water. Aside from prioritizing water, sanitation and hygiene, the Government's 2017-2023 National Strategy for Transformation also prioritizes reduction of stunting and early childhood development (ECD). Ensuring at least basic water and sanitation services in and outside the home as well as widespread hand washing with soap will be critical to achieving stunting and ECD targets.

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.

The Government of Rwanda strives to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by enabling equitable access to quality health services for their population as outlined in the Fourth Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP IV). This commitment is made against a backdrop of rising health care costs and uncertainty around the future availability of donor funding. While Rwanda is often cited as an example for UHC in Sub-Saharan Africa, in part due to high rates of enrollment in the Mutuelles or CBHI scheme; the challenge will be to sustain these gains. Acknowledging this, the Government aims to employ effective, equitable, efficient and sustainable health care financing approaches and inform reforms of existing financing mechanisms including the national insurance scheme.

CHAI Rwanda's Sustainable Health Financing (SHF) program works on a day-to-day basis with Government leadership in the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB). The goal of our program is to support the Government to sustainably finance and improve the Mutuelles or Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme, which covers the majority of the population for essential health services, and address key challenges in the health sector, towards the goal of UHC.

In this role, the program manager will serve as the managerial and programmatic lead for the Rwanda health financing team and will report to the CHAI Country Director. This position offers a unique opportunity to work closely with high-level government leaders, define the direction of the Rwanda health-financing program and develop new partnerships and collaborative frameworks to drive CHAI's push to support countries on their journey towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This position will be based at the CHAI office spending significant time at the Ministry of Health and Rwanda Social Security Board where other staff members on the team are based.

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.

CHAI is looking for a Senior Associate, Case Finding. The Senior Associate will be a part of the global HIV team, which works to address barriers to access and foster a healthy competitive marketplace for essential services for care and treatment of people living with HIV (PLHIV). The position will focus on supporting its HIV Testing Services program, which is primarily responsible for driving strategy development and execution of country and global activities to reach ambitious targets for identification of PLHIV and initiation on life-saving treatment. The global community faces the challenging task of identifying, initiating, and retaining more than 10 million new people on treatment in the next few years. Identifying and linking the remaining PLHIV is the primary limiting factor to ART scale-up, and currently the largest gap across the treatment cascade. While current testing modalities have been effective at reaching certain populations, they are not reaching all those at risk and will not be sufficient to find the remaining PLHIV. National HIV programs need to be innovative to reach the populations being left behind within resource constrained environments. CHAI is supporting a comprehensive effort to support partner governments to address these challenges and reach their treatment scale-up targets.

The primary goal of this work is to drive uptake of effective strategies to find and link adults on treatment, including introduction and scale-up of innovative testing strategies such as HIV self-testing to help governments accelerate treatment scale-up for adults living with HIV in focus countries.

This position will be based in Kigali, Rwanda.

Responsibilities

The Senior Associate will provide support to the Global HIV team, including but not limited to the following:

• Serve as a key advisor to Ministries of Health, CHAI country teams, and in-country partners to help countries achieve ambitious treatment scale-up goals
• Support the adoption, introduction, and scale-up of new HIV testing products in focus countries
• Help structure and drive key quantitative and qualitative analyses around major HTS programmatic issues along the testing and linkage to appropriate services cascade
• Support countries in designing high-impact interventions to translate the results of relevant analyses into actionable plans and changes in policy and operations
• Manage and coordinate HIV testing services projects across multiple CHAI focal countries, with multiple work streams in each country
• Share best practices across country program to ensure knowledge is shared on the strategies, tools and experiences of all programs
• Act as the focal point to manage the relationship between the Global HIV team and CHAI country teams
• Support various aspects of program management including strategy, planning, budgeting, monitoring & evaluation, knowledge management, qualitative and quantitative analysis, implementation, and reporting
• Maintain program M&E dashboards through collecting data regularly from country teams, and sharing data at the global level to ensure that the program is accomplishing its objectives and corrective actions are taken if required

This is a challenging but rewarding position, which will have direct impact on millions of PLHIV in need of life-saving treatment.**Qualifications**

• At least 3 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field
• Excellent analytical skills and technical proficiency with MS Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong verbal, visual and written communication skills in English
• Natural ability to be a team player, build strategic relationships and interact with individuals from different backgrounds
• Excellent strategic thinker and problem-solver who is able to think creatively around long-term program objectives and the detailed steps necessary to achieve these goals
• Ability to multi-task and to be effective in high-pressure situations, and able to adapt to fast-paced and changing environments, both internally and externally
• Ability to work independently on complex projects and solve challenging problems with limited structural or operational support
• Proven stakeholder relationship management aptitude
• Ability to travel internationally up to 50% of the time

Advantages:

• Past experience working as part of a CHAI country team
