Your Responsibility
Our belief in the power of capacity building is echoed by many across the world.

We have developed, tried and tested, and scaled capacity development approaches – such as digital learning, coaching, mentorship, etc - that have resulted in improvements in the quality of health service delivery. We now want to apply these approaches and the lessosn we have learnt in select counties in Kenya in the fight against malaria and tuberculosis.
That’s why we’re looking for a Project Manager. We need a seasoned leader to take the lessons we have learned, adapt them to fit context, identify improvement opportunities and implement these approaches accordingly. That’s where you come in.
