Overview: Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives, reducing the burden of disease and strengthening integrated health systems in low and middle income countries. 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. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.
CHAI is operating in Ethiopia carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Federal Ministry of Health, Agencies and Regional Health Bureaus in improving access to and quality of health services. As one of CHAI’s largest field offices with more than 170 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across Maternal, Newborn and Child Health; HIV/AIDS; Cancer; Nutrition; Vaccines; Human Resource for Health (HRH) and Health Financing.
Project Description: CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in designing and implementing various health financing initiatives over the past years and has been asked by the government to provide more comprehensive support at federal and regional levels. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed towards the government’s goal of achieving universal health coverage by 2030. As part of its continued support to the Government of Ethiopia, CHAI has been supporting Regional Health Bureaus by recruiting and placing highly qualified professionals in health financing as secondees to help regions achieve their health financing and related goals. To this end, CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical capabilities to provide technical assistance in health financing to Amhara Regional Health Bureau (ARHB).
