Chemonics International Inc., a leading international development firm, with extensive experience implementing USAID-funded programs in Haiti, seeks to recruit talented individuals for the upcoming Services de Santé de Qualité pour Haiti (SSQH) project funded by USAID/Haiti. The overall purpose of the three-year (with the option of a two-year extension) SSQH project is to improve the health status of the Haitian population.

We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

The SSQH project is expected to be based in the north, south and center of the country.
