CHAI values diversity and inclusion, recognizing that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experiences, backgrounds, and cultures.

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

Overview of Role

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual passionate about solving ever-changing complex problems to make a positive impact and contribute to a healthy and productive work environment on the Malaria Team.

As part of the Malaria Team, this Associate will directly support the Angola government in tailoring their strategy to local contexts and obtaining and managing the financial resources necessary to reduce the burden of malaria. Areas of support include developing malaria national strategic plans, conducting analysis to optimize the value of every dollar spent, strengthening financial and programmatic data use for decision-making, improving holistic management of programs, and seeking funding to support malaria programming.

The Associate will report to the Angola Malaria Country Manager and will work in close collaboration with CHAI Country Teams and Regional Technical Teams. The Associate is expected to follow safety and security protocols and in-office protocols set by the CHAI office of their base location.

The Associate will bring outstanding analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills; be able to work independently; and have a deep personal commitment to producing results.
