Type: Full Time
Business Unit: Country Programs - Country Teams
Overview:
Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton
Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to
strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access
to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the
premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global
health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and
optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization
of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in
association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large
scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for
treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI's teams are
working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest
barriers to effective treatment and care. In 2011 the NDOH embarked upon an
ambitious implementation of a standard monitoring system referred to as the
3-Tiered ART Monitoring Strategy, an activity CHAI has supported since
inception.
Overview
CHAI will continue to support and strengthen the 3-Tiered
Strategy and will embark on a series of innovative projects that aim to
strengthen and institutionalize the 3-Tiered Monitoring System. The
continued quality improvement of the ART program requires strong data
systems. In the coming years, CHAI will continue this work by providing
technical support and capacity building to the national and provincial
Departments of Health (DoH) staff to improve the availability, quality and
utilization of clinical and TB/HIV monitoring data. Proposed interventions will
focus on improving data systems and data utilization in the provinces and
districts. A key area of work will include capacity building to improve
data driven decision-making through strengthened data use within the
districts.
