Associate, Malaria Management, Strategy, and Finance

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 skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries.

CHAI established its presence in Sierra Leone in 2015, evolving from initial Ebola response assistance to become a strategic partner for health systems strengthening, initially focusing on Human Resources for Health and Supply Chain. Building on strong government relationships, CHAI expanded its programs to include sexual and reproductive health, vaccines, assistive technology, geospatial data, medical oxygen, and malaria elimination. This strategy consistently prioritizes maximizing sustainable, government‑led impact at national scale, with global learning dissemination.

In 2024, CHAI commenced support to the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) within the Ministry of Health (MoH). At the outset, CHAI worked with NMCP to understand strengths and gaps within the malaria programme, the broader health system, and the landscape of partner and donor support. Through a set of technical and operational assessments, including a surveillance assessment, stakeholder consultations, a supply chain landscape assessment, a community health worker (CHW) desk review, and epidemiological analysis, CHAI and NMCP defined priority interventions and milestones to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality.

CHAI is now supporting NMCP to translate these priorities into delivery, with an increasing focus on implementation discipline across the malaria portfolio. This includes strengthening routine planning and performance management, improving budgeting and expenditure tracking, supporting grant management processes, building simple monitoring tools and dashboards, and improving the quality and consistency of communication products for government and partners. This phase requires structured portfolio management so that priorities are costed, financed, sequenced, tracked, and delivered.
