Clinton Health Access Initiative
Cotonou, Bénin
Senior Program Manager, Malaria and NTD
Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance.

CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.
CHAI was founded in 2002 with a transformational goal: to help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV worldwide by dramatically increasing access to antiretroviral treatment. When CHAI was founded, many thought this goal was unrealistic because health systems in resource-limited countries were too weak and the prices of drugs and diagnostic tests were too high. CHAI has played a catalytic role, working alongside governments and other partners to reduce treatment costs and help build the national systems needed to provide life-saving treatments to millions of people.
While the organization remains committed to its original focus on HIV, CHAI has broadened its scope of work to focus on other under-addressed global health priorities where CHAI's approach and expertise could have a transformative impact. These areas include: HIV; malaria; tuberculosis (TB); hepatitis C; cancer and non-communicable diseases; sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health; vaccines, diarrhea, pneumonia, chronic malnutrition and universal health coverage, including financing and human resources. In keeping with CHAI's flexible approach and commitment to meeting the needs of governments, CHAI also implements programs outside of strategic areas at the request of government partners to address crises that arise in the countries where CHAI works. CHAI has a presence in more than 30 countries, operates more than 25 country offices and has more than 1,200 employees worldwide.
Position Overview:
Based in Cotonou, the Senior Program Manager, Malaria and NTD will report to the Benin Country Lead and will help ensure the overall success and shape CHAI’s malaria and NTD strategy for CHAI Benin. The Senior Program Manager will directly manage the CHAI malaria and NTD country team in Benin and oversee CHAI’s operational and technical support to the government. This is an exciting opportunity to lead and drive success of a new and ambitious malaria and NTD program in Benin.
