Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) Senior Evaluation Manager Job Vacancy in Rwanda

Clinton
Health Access Initiative 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. 3DE Demand-Driven Evaluations
for Decisions (3DE) is a pioneering approach to support Ministries active in
the health sector with evidence-based decision-making by conducting rigorous
impact evaluations in a demand-driven, rapid and efficient way. 3DE seeks to
generate reliable impact evidence that fills information gaps identified by
Ministries and is subsequently used to catalyze implementation of
cost-effective action, often in the form of policy formulation or program
roll-out. The 3DE program is implemented under the leadership of the respective
CHAI country office and CHAI’s Applied Analytics Team (AAT), which is a global
team that catalyzes rigorous analytics to improve health care delivery. 3DE was
launched in 2012 in Zambia and Uganda, and beginning in 2015, the program will
be operating in Rwanda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. CHAI is seeking three Evaluation
Managers (one for each country) to design and conduct rigorous impact
evaluations on a diverse range of health topics. Each of the 3DE Evaluation
Managers will be based in one of the 3DE program countries (Rwanda, Zambia or
Zimbabwe). The Evaluation Manager will report to the country director and will
liaise closely with AAT.

Each
Evaluation Manager will be responsible for managing a 3DE Coordinator.
