Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems in the developing world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. CHAI’s solution-oriented approach focuses on improving market dynamics for medicines and diagnostics; lowering prices for treatment; accelerating access to life-saving technologies; and helping governments and private sector healthcare organizations to build the capacity to provide high-quality treatment.

In 2007, CHAI signed an MOU with the government of Uganda to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and strengthen health systems. CHAI Uganda works with the Ministry of Health around HIV, malaria, childhood illnesses, laboratory systems and drug logistics, leading to successes including a >400% increase in access to lifesaving pediatric HIV treatment and introduction of a new severe malaria drug which will save thousands of lives annually.

For many common yet deadly diseases, the private retail sector provides the source of more than 50% of care in Uganda. However, within this sector the quality of care provision is often poor, and treatment prices can be prohibitively high. CHAI has therefore set about partnering with importers and suppliers of medicines to the private sector, as well as with the National Drug Authority responsible for the sector’s regulation, to improve the private sector treatment landscape.

Position description

The Private Sector Program Manager will be responsible for all aspects of CHAI’s private sector portfolio in Uganda, aiming to improve access to high-quality treatment through the private sector health system. They will lead and supervise the activities and performance of a team of 3-4 individuals, and will play a major role in the organization’s management structure.

The Private Sector team aims to design and implement strategies to optimize the availability and affordability of appropriate medicines in the private sector, and the ability and knowledge of private healthcare workers to provide effective treatment on demand. This work touches on many aspects of the country’s private sector pharmaceutical and healthcare provision industries, including:

This team is designed to serve as a specialist cross-cutting resource to other disease- or commodity-focused teams at CHAI Uganda, with a focus on malaria and child health.

Project:
The education sector in Uganda has experienced a great transformation over the past 15 years. In 1997 the government of Uganda launched the Universal Primary Education strategy. By consequence enrolment in primary education soared. Because of its success (at least in numbers), an equal investment strategy became necessary for secondary education to provide further schooling for the rising number of pupils who finished primary education. The Universal Post-Primary Education & Training (UPPET) strategy was then put into action in 2007, leading to an instant increase in enrolment figures in secondary education as well. Recognizing the importance of ensuring the quality and relevance of the education that the children receive, providing teachers capable of delivering education of high quality is considered by the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) as the single most important input in ensuring the successful delivery of the UPPET program. Therefore, upon initiative of the Government of Uganda, the Embassy of Belgium in Uganda agreed to support interventions geared towards the improvement of teacher training provided by the National Teachers Colleges (NTCs), as well as other Colleges responsible for training tutors and lecturers for Business, Technical and Vocational Education & Training (BTVET), including the training of Health Tutors.

Objectives:

The Specific objective of the intervention is to provide an improved teaching and practice-oriented learning environment, supported by strengthened support supervision and visitation (inspections) services, for the most part on four selected colleges. To reach this objective, the project has defined a strategy that addresses four areas:
