CHAI is
seeking an associate to assist in the overall management and strategic
implantation of a four-country initiative to increase domestic financing for
malaria. Evidence has shown that as countries are successful in their fight
against malaria, its prominence on the political agenda may fade and funding
may be decreased, leading to costly resurgences of this deadly disease. CHAI is
engaging with four African governments to find innovative solutions to driving
domestic financing for malaria programs. Specific mechanisms under development
include: hypothecated taxes, tourism levies, endowment funds and engagement
with the corporate sector for public-private partnerships.
