CHAI’s global malaria and neglected tropical disease (NTD) program provides direct technical and operational support to countries around the globe to strengthen their programs and reduce the burden of preventable, treatable diseases. We support governments to scale up effective interventions for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance, with the goals of sustainably reducing the number of illnesses and deaths worldwide in the short-term and accelerating progress towards elimination of malaria and NTDs in the long term.

CHAI seeks to recruit a highly motivated team member to coordinate and lead support to the subnational malaria program in the Sud-department of Haiti. As such, the individual will support the Haitian government to plan and execute effective malaria strategies and interventions in the Sud-department. The individual will assist the Ministry of Health to further strengthen malaria surveillance and leverage the generated data to inform program decision-making on a regular basis. Additionally, the associate will support the Ministry of Health to further strengthen community-based case management, supply chain management and targeting of effective vector control interventions.
