Job Title: Senior Analyst, Supply Chain
Location: Abuja
Job Type: Full Time
Program (Division): SRMNCH – Global Vaccines
Background
CHAI’s Vaccines Program:
- Immunization is one of the most successful public health interventions in history. National immunization programs reach >100 million infants every year and have, across the globe, averted two to three million deaths every year since the launch of the Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI) in 1974. The introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and rotavirus vaccines could save a further ~1 million lives per year. Furthermore, great advances in the development and financing of new vaccines provides countries the opportunity to further reduce the burden of diseases such as human papillomavirus (HPV).
- However, despite these successes, 1.5 million children still die each year of vaccine-preventable diseases. Many of these are in low-income countries, where immunization programs face unprecedented challenges in accessing vaccines and ensuring they reach all targeted children.
- Since 2010, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) has worked to save lives and reduce the burden from vaccine-preventable diseases by improving access to immunization services in resource-limited setting. CHAI does this by strengthening national immunization programs at the country level, and the leveraging that experience to improve the global immunization ecosystem.
Within that effort, CHAI is pursuing six complementary strategic goals:
- Improving affordability and supply security of immunization products;
- Accelerating the uptake of new or under-utilized vaccines;
- Enhancing the performance of vaccine cold chain and logistics systems to increase effective immunization coverage;
- Improving the design and implementation of service delivery to reach the unreached;
- Supporting successful transition from Gavi support; and
- Strengthening the management system and capacity of immunization programs.
