OverviewThe 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 CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture. Program and Position Overview: CHAI’s Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) team works with governments to build stronger, more resilient, and more equitable health systems, ensuring that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, can access high-quality primary health care. We support Ministries of Health to increase and optimize health spending, strengthen national systems (e.g., workforce, digital infrastructure, supply chains), and implement cross-cutting reforms that drive long-term improvements in service delivery and health outcomes. This includes work to improve the efficiency, equity, and impact of health financing systems – from resource mobilization and budgeting to strategic purchasing and public financial management. It also includes complementary work to strengthen the health workforce, including critical reforms to optimize workforce education/training, deployment, regulation, and performance management systems. In Malawi, the goal of CHAI’s HSS program is to support the Ministry of Health (MoH) in operationalizing the Health Sector Strategic Plan III (HSSP III) through strategic initiatives in health financing and workforce development. By aligning scarce external/domestic resources and enhancing evidence-based workforce development and distribution, the program aims to build a sustainable and efficient health system that supports delivery of quality, affordable, accessible and integrated care. The CHAI Malawi HSS team works closely with the MoH and District Councils to sustainably strengthen health systems at the national, district, and facility levels. In response to growing financial pressures and shifting donor landscapes—including recent U.S. government funding cuts—CHAI is also leading a high-priority initiative to help countries navigate the risks of declining aid while using this moment as a catalyst for reform. This includes identifying and addressing urgent gaps, reprogramming and reallocating resources, and laying the foundation for more sustainable and integrated systems. CHAI Malawi seeks an Associate, Integrated Health Systems, based in Lilongwe, Malawi.

The HSSP III proposes a transition to strengthened aid coordination through the “One Plan, One Budget, One Report” model, under which the HSSP III will be the overall guiding document for all government and donor investments until 2030. Furthermore, the HSSP III proposes a transition towards integrated Health Service Packages, which will move away from the current verticalized service delivery models and instead seek to provide high-quality, patient-centered care across the full range of health conditions that patients might face. This is in line with the Lusaka Agenda, which aims to support strategic and operational coherence across key global health donors in order to sustain UHC through strong and resilient health systems.The CHAI Malawi HSS team works closely with the MoH and District Councils to sustainably advance this agenda of aid alignment and health systems strengthening at the national, district, and facility levels.
