Overview

Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization dedicated to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to help them and the private sector build and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the aim of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving medicines and increasing access to them in countries most affected by the disease. Over the next two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, in addition to HIV, we work with partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded to cancer, diabetes, hypertension and other noncommunicable diseases, and we are working to accelerate the rollout of life-saving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, address chronic malnutrition and improve access to assistive technology. We invest in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programmes on human resources for health, digital health and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is based on maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this would be possible without their talent, time, dedication, and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals spanning 40 countries with a wide range of skills and life experiences. CHAI is deeply rooted in the countries where it works, with the majority of its staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work at:  http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing a fair environment and mutual respect where all candidates have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values ​​diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best served by the leadership and contributions of individuals with diverse experience, backgrounds, and cultures.

Program background

Le programme mondial de CHAI sur le paludisme et les maladies tropicales négligées fournit un soutien technique et opérationnel direct aux pays du monde entier afin de renforcer leurs programmes de lutte contre les maladies à transmission vectorielle et de réduire le fardeau du paludisme, de la dengue et d’autres maladies tropicales négligées (MTN). Nous aidons les gouvernements à mettre en place des interventions efficaces en matière de prévention, de diagnostic, de traitement et de surveillance, dans le but de réduire durablement le nombre de maladies et de décès liés au paludisme, à la dengue et aux MTN dans le monde.

On estime que 50 à 100 millions de cas de dengue surviennent chaque année, faisant plus de 40 000 victimes et imposant un fardeau économique mondial de 9 à 39 milliards de dollars. Sans intervention, ce nombre continuera à augmenter en raison du réchauffement des températures et de l’urbanisation. Jusqu’à présent, les efforts de lutte contre la dengue se sont principalement concentrés sur les mesures traditionnelles de contrôle des moustiques, telles que le traitement des habitats larvaires et la nébulisation. Toutefois, ces approches ne suffiront pas à faire face à la montée en puissance de la dengue. Il est urgent d’adopter des approches novatrices pour lutter contre cette menace croissante.

Les interventions basées sur les Wolbachia pour contrôler la dengue et d’autres arbovirus ont démontré une efficacité prometteuse et une protection à long terme. Certaines souches de Wolbachia, une bactérie naturelle qui infecte les insectes, inhibent la croissance virale chez les moustiques Aedes aegypti , ce qui pourrait réduire la transmission de la maladie. Pour libérer le potentiel mondial de cette technologie, il est nécessaire d’améliorer le rapport coût-efficacité des programmes Wolbachia. Cela impliquera la mise en place d’un écosystème politique, de financement et de marché complet pour faciliter l’extension des interventions de Wolbachia.

Program Background

CHAI’s global malaria & neglected tropical diseases program provides direct technical and operational support to countries around the world to strengthen their vector borne diseases programs and reduce the burden of malaria, dengue, and other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). We support governments to scale up effective interventions for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance, with the goals of sustainably reducing the number of malaria, dengue and NTD-related illnesses and deaths worldwide.

An estimated 50-100 million dengue cases occur each year, claiming >40,000 lives and imposing a global economic burden of $9-$39 billion. Without intervention, this number will continue to escalate due to warming temperatures and urbanization. To date, dengue control efforts have primarily focused on traditional mosquito control measures, such as treating larval habitats and fogging. However, these approaches will be inadequate to address the mounting dengue. Innovative approaches to combat this escalating threat are urgently required.

Wolbachia-based interventions to control dengue and other arboviruses have demonstrated promising efficacy and long-term protection. Certain strains of Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacteria that infects insects, inhibit viral growth in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, demonstrating potential for reducing disease transmission. To unlock the global potential of this technology, there is a need to enhance the cost-efficiency of Wolbachia programs. This will involve the establishment of a comprehensive political, funding, and market ecosystem to facilitate the scale-up of Wolbachia interventions.

Overview of the Role

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated and mission-driven individual with strong public health management experience and analytical skills to help support CHAI’s dengue control activities in Burkina Faso. This individual will play a pivotal role in helping government plan for introduction of new, highly impactful control tools to reduce the growing burden of dengue and other arboviruses, with a particular focus on interventions targeting the mosquito vector. The Analyst will help CHAI’s country team assist the government with creating, funding, and executing impactful dengue control strategies, supporting and coordinating its efforts to provide operational and strategic support to national dengue programs.

The successful candidate will bring a generalist skillset to the team and does not necessarily need prior experience with dengue programs. The Analyst will join a diverse and technically strong team of entrepreneurial problem-solvers, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with the government´s programs, stakeholders, and research institutions.
