Clinton Health Access Initiative Regional Technical Advisor Jobs in Kenya
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.

CHAI's health financing program supports governments implementing reforms towards the goal of universal health coverage; ensuring that patients can access the care they need without suffering financial hardship.
CHAI staff work closely with Ministries of Health and national insurance schemes, often with permanent desks in government offices, to build capacity for and support evidence-based decision making.
This includes work on the design, implementation and management of financing reforms to mobilize sustainable resources and ensure those resources go as far as possible to improve health outcomes and address health disparities.
A cornerstone of this work is to support governments to set priorities; defining the essential health care package or benefits package as well as a process for revision over time, and supporting governments to finance, and to reliably deliver, this package of services through public and private sector.

Work with CHAI country teams to ensure institutionalization of new tools and processes.
Identify and develop medium-term scopes of work to address key policy issues in specific countries.
As needed work with CHAI and iDSI managers to fundraise to meet these needs.
Support joint regional learning between governments. This includes sharing examples of work across countries, connecting policymakers, and working with iDSI consultants and partners to engage with regional and global platforms, communities and institutions.
Collaborate and share work with global, regional and national stakeholders and donors, including through presentations at regional and global meetings and conferences.
