The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.

Despite significant progress in the global HIV response, new HIV infections are not declining fast enough to reach epidemic control by 2030. Scaling access to safe, effective prevention options that meet the needs of those at risk of HIV infection is essential to reaching epidemic control. However, individual and systemic barriers persist, limiting the impact of effective HIV prevention interventions.

CHAI is supporting the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) to build resilient and responsive health systems that will catalyse the scale-up and transition to sustainable implementation of combination HIV prevention interventions.

The Analyst, HIV Prevention will support the following efforts within this grant to:

• Strengthen HIV-prevention program integration, strategically leveraging lessons from the coordination, management, and implementation of the Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision (VMMC) program; and
• Document and share best practices from the implementation and transition of VMMC programs and the integration of combination HIV-prevention programs with national, regional, and global stakeholders

The Analyst will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks, from quantitative and qualitative analysis to collaborating with stakeholders. We are seeking a highly motivated, results-oriented, entrepreneurial individual with outstanding written communication skills. CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, humility, responsibility, tenacity, independence, energy, and work ethic. The position may require 20-30% in-country travel. The Analyst will be based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and will report to the Associate, HIV Prevention.
