job Description
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 majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

Team Overview:
Over the last few decades, the South African Department of Health (DoH) has made significant progress in increasing access to sexual, reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health (SRMNH) services in South Africa. However, gaps still exist. Maternal, neonatal and child mortality is still a significant contributor to overall mortality rates and wide variations persist in quality and access to comprehensive, integrated healthcare services, especially for women and adolescents. To address these challenges, the CHAI-SA’s SRMNH team is supporting the DoH at national and provincial levels to implement a broad range of activities, across service delivery expansion, demand generation and supply chain strengthening, quality improvement and strengthened programme monitoring and evaluation, across both public and private sector channels, aimed at significantly increasing uptake of SRMNH services for women and adolescents. CHAI-SA’s SRMNH programme supports NDoH to ensure that performance of the strategic development and implementation of SRMNH programme efforts are conducted and monitored efficiently and effectively. This is done through the provision of technical assistance to support the development and deployment of strategic and operational plans, resource optimisation in the short and long term, development of strategic documents and tools, including demand generation, training, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E), to support critical management systems and to galvanise key stakeholder coordination.
Position Overview:
CHAI is seeking a results-oriented and highly motivated individual with excellent analytical ability and strong communication skills to play a key role in the SRMNH programme in South Africa to improve the accessibility and quality of SRMNH services. The Analyst will be expected to support the DoH to create, execute and monitor workplans and strategies. The Analyst will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including quantitative and qualitative analysis, stakeholder engagement, coordination and collaboration, to support implementation of the SRMNH programme. Candidates must have excellent communication and writing skills, a proven capacity to work independently in a fast-paced environment and have a strong commitment to excellence. The Analyst will provide support to the DoH both strategically and analytically in the delivery of the programme. The Analyst will be based in Pretoria, South Africa, and report to CHAI SA Programme Manager for SRMNH and Paediatric and Adolescent HIV and EPI (Expanded Programme on Immunisation). This role requires travel as dictated by programmatic needs.
