Organizational overview:
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a
global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and
reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at
the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create
and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS
epidemic, with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs
and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest
burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its
focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to
prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis,
and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension,
and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of
lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic
malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in
horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human
resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and
innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact
at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are
designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

Program overview:
CHAI Rwanda’s Health System Strengthening (HSS) programs
work on a day-to-day basis with Government leadership and the goal of those
programs is to support the Government to accelerate progress towards UHC by
ensuring the sustainable delivery of quality, essential health services. This
includes designing and implementing national Primary Health Care (PHC) reforms
from health center level down to community health, to increase health workforce
availability, to prioritize and sustainably finance essential services, and to
support improved management, financing, and delivery of quality primary health
care.
Rwanda’s Vision 2050 sets ambitious targets for a healthy
and productive society, yet progress on maternal and neonatal mortality and
stunting remains slow, while the country simultaneously faces a growing burden
of non-communicable diseases and emerging health threats. To accelerate
progress and ensure affordable access to quality care, the Government has
committed to four priority PHC reform areas: 1) Strengthening primary
healthcare system and public health security; 2) Optimizing health workforce
production, performance, and retention; 3) Developing evidence-based medicine
and systems; 4) Enhance leadership and management decisions, coordination, and
planning by leveraging digital integration.
To this end, the Ministry of Health has established a
National Health Intelligence Center (NHIC) designed to institutionalize

interoperability, and utilization of technology-driven solutions to respond to
critical public health questions and inform data-driven decisions at all levels
of the health system.
Health
The Technical Advisor will be seconded to the Ministry of
Health to work under close coordination with the NHIC Director and the NHIC
Management team to generate high-quality digital health solutions and analytics

and innovation strategies.
