Employment Nigeria 01-Jan-1970 NIGERIA , NIGERIA ,

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) was established in 2002 to increase access to care and treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS and to strengthen health systems in resource-poor countries. Over the past few years, CHAI has expanded the scope of our work to include access to high-quality treatment for malaria, new vaccines, and essential treatments for maternal and child health. CHAI has also increasingly supported governments to build the capacity required for high-quality health care and treatment programs. Currently, CHAI partners with governments in more than 25 countries while more than 70 countries directly benefit from the low-priced drugs and diagnostic test agreements that CHAI has negotiated.

CHAI is embarking on an ambitious initiative to address critical gaps in access to life-saving medicines and commodities, and deliver them in an efficient and cost-effective manner. In Nigeria, CHAI is working closely with the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) to assess and improve the supply chains for priority maternal and neonatal health (MNH) commodities, specifically in implementing systems that strengthen logistics practices across the supply chain.

The Analyst will be responsible for day-to-day management of CHAI’s MNH LMIS program, ensuring timelines, budgets and deliverables are met and addressing bottlenecks and issues as they arise.
