    Project Lead, Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness

    PATH is a global organization that works to accelerate health equity by bringing together public institutions, businesses, social enterprises, and investors to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges. With expertise in science, health, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales solutions—including vaccines, drugs, devices, diagnostics, and innovative approaches to strengthening health systems worldwide.

    Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) is a global effort led by PATH to accelerate availability, adoption and scale-up of tools to identify severe illness and decrease mortality in children under five years of age. PATH and its primary partner, the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), will implement a four-year project funded by Unitaid. TIMCI has two major goals that both seek to improve detection of severe disease in children under five: 1) to improve healthcare workers’ ability to diagnose severe disease by equipping them with pulse oximeters (POX) and electronic decision support tools; and 2) to accelerate the development and market entry of non-invasive devices that augment the features of a standard POX with one or more additional vital sign measurements. This high profile and potentially high impact project will begin in July 2019 and will take place in five countries: Kenya, Myanmar, Senegal, Tanzania, and the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

    PATH is seeking to recruit a Project Lead for TIMCI project implementation in Kenya. With a strong clinical background, the Kenya Country project leader will bring a passion for child health, market shaping, evidence-generation, and project implementation in low resource settings. The Country Project Lead will report primarily to the Kenya Technical Director of Programs and secondarily to the TIMCI Project Director. The Country Project Lead will be responsible for project leadership and management for all activities in their country with support from an in-country team and working closely with a global team. The Country Project Lead will also work closely with members of the Ministry of Health (MOH) as well as representatives from key partner organizations such as the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Health Organization, and members of industry.

  • Volunteer, Neglected Tropical Diseases Surveillance

    Volunteer, Neglected Tropical Diseases Surveillance

    Description Of Project

    The control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) requires timely, high quality data to identify where transmission is occurring, target interventions effectively, and monitor and assess the impact of interventions. Information systems used to collect and analyze NTD data however have several shortcomings that limit the data available for decision-making.

    CHAI is currently conducting an assessment (including current strengths and gaps) of data and surveillance systems for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in two selected countries in Africa (Zambia and Kenya) to identify opportunities for further investments. This assessment is intended to lay the foundation for achieving a robust, integrated NTD information system where case data analyzed alongside interventions data can inform where to target NTD interventions, how to plan surveys, and how to estimate the impact of these interventions on NTD case burden.

    The Surveillance Assessment Will Include The Following

    Description of NTD government program in selected countries, with specific attention to teams involved in data and surveillance activities (including how many people work in the NTD program, at which level of the health system, integration with other disease programs, expertise, and need for training)
    Description of data and surveillance systems for major NTDs (primarily vector-borne diseases)
    Review of the strengths and gaps of NTD surveillance (for case data and entomological surveillance) to answer the following questions:

    What major diseases are surveyed
    What health sectors are involved in surveillance (community, facilities public or private)
    How case data and entomological data are integrated and how NTDs are integrated with other disease programs for surveillance
    What are the gaps for data collection, reporting and visualization of collected information
    What NTD data is used for (e.g. disease monitoring, interventions targeting)

    Document the main NTD interventions (including case management, vector control, and MDA), and assess data-related strengths and gaps for their planning, implementation and monitoring (e.g. how intervention data are collected, reported and used), and consider opportunities for synergies across disease areas
    Describe any operational bottlenecks related to the monitoring and evaluation of interventions and other surveillance activities for NTDs

    This opportunity offers highly motivated individuals an opportunity to be exposed to CHAI’s mission and gain practical experiences in surveillance system strengthening. It will also allow individuals to bring new perspectives and innovative ideas into shaping CHAI’s work in a new disease area.

    The Volunteer will be based in Nairobi, Kenya, or may be based in another CHAI program country pending country leadership approval.

    Surveillance assessment to document current strengths and gaps and provide prioritized recommendations to address these gaps. Activities will include:

    Adapt existing malaria surveillance assessment toolkit for NTDs
    Literature (policy, scientific literature etc.) reviews
    Formulate data collection tools for the surveillance assessment (i.e. questionnaires, interview guides)
    Conduct stakeholder interviews
    Collate information and analyze data from previous surveys or any other quantitative information to complement the qualitative findings
    Formulate report, and present recommendations
    Implement data system improvements in partnership with NTD programs, where allowable in the near-term for immediate benefit
    A strong interest in Neglected Tropical Diseases
    Experience doing literature review, liaising with stakeholders
    Experience around surveillance systems strengthening for any disease/public health area
    Familiarity with data management and data epidemiological analysis using software such as Excel, Access, Stata, etc.
    Experience working in low-resourced settings and/or cross-cultural situations
