Chief of Party (COP) | Monrovia, Liberia | 2023

Chemonics seeks a Chief of Party for the USAID FHM Engage project in Liberia. This position will be the primary point of contact in Liberia for all USAID-funded FHM Engage activities and future scopes of work. This position will be based in Monrovia, Liberia. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Program Overview
As USAID’s flagship private sector health project, Frontier Health Markets (FHM) Engage envisions a world in which health markets are responsive, equitable, resilient, and driven by consumer needs. To meet this vision, FHM Engage – led by Chemonics and its core partners, co-technical lead Results for Development, Pathfinder, and Zenysis – catalyzes the adoption of fresh, contextually-relevant pathways in health market development by building on existing structures and offering strong behavioral, technical, and managerial approaches. FHM Engage’s robust partner network includes 16 local, regional and international partner organizations. While supporting local market actors to build upon current government and donor investments, we also use systems thinking to understand the market system, identify root causes of market under performance, and develop context-specific and locally informed strategies and solutions to systematically change market environments and health market financing. FHM Engage works in 7 intermediate result areas, namely: Stewardship, Health Financing, Rules & Regulations, Market Intelligence, Supply (Services), Supply (Products), and Demand.
