Organisation Overview:
The Clinton Health Access Initiatives (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, tuberculosis, diarrhea 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 build the capacity required for high-quality care and treatment programs.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
The Marketing and Training Officer will be responsible for coordinating the design and implementation of an ambitious, large-scale demand generation campaign to increase utilization of zinc and ORS for the treatment of diarrhea and Amoxicillin for the treatment of pneumonia. This demand generation campaign will be focused on two fronts: (1) a concerted effort to improve the prescription practices of health providers, and (2) a communication campaign to increase awareness and demand amongst consumers/care-givers.
This work involves working with marketing and research agencies to design and test materials, coordinate messaging through multiple channels, and monitor effectiveness over multiple years. The Marketing and Training Officer will work in close collaboration with other members of the team, as well as public and private stakeholders to roll out high-impact trainings, community activations and promotional activities. This role will involve heavy implementation and will require a very “hands-on” approach.
