PATH Program Manager, Capacity Strengthening, Digital Square Jobs in Kenya

Job Description

PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.

The Center of Digital and Data Excellence (CoDE) at PATH works with government ministries of health, the private sector, and donors to strengthen the use of digital technologies and data for improved health services. Digital Square is one of CoDE’s flagship global initiatives.

It is PATH-led and funded by multiple donors, including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to advance digitally enabled health services to help close the health equity gap.

Conceived from the lessons of the inefficiencies and redundancies of prior investments in digital technologies for international development, Digital Square works with ministries of health to align adaptable, interoperable digital technologies with local health needs and brings partners together to improve how the global community designs, uses, and pays for digital health tools and approaches.

PATH is currently recruiting for a Program Manager for its Digital Square team. The Program Manager will oversee, evaluate, and support the growth of Digital Square’s portfolio of donor-funded digital health capacity strengthening projects.

Additionally, the Program Manager will support the development, use, and iteration of key toolkits, guidance documents, and other knowledge products to support the standardization and dissemination of best practices to be used internally and externally in support of digital health implementations. S/he will report to the Deputy Director, Capacity Strengthening & Program Implementation.
