Job title Senior Technical Advisor

Department PMI Impact Malaria project in Tanzania

Based at PSI in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Reports to the Chief of Party

Who we are

As the flagship global service delivery project of the U.S. President’s
Malaria Initiative PMI, the PMI Impact Malaria team works with national
malaria programs to fight malaria and save lives by strengthening diagnosis,
treatment, and drug-based prevention for those most at risk, particularly
children and pregnant women. PMI Impact Malaria IM is led by Population
Services International PSI in partnership with Jhpiego, Medical Care
Development International, and the Malaria Elimination Initiative at
University of California San Francisco.

IM’s global goal is to reduce morbidity and mortality due to malaria and move
countries towards national or subnational pre-elimination. To achieve this
goal, IM supports National Malaria Control Program Managers NMCPs to help
tackle malaria service delivery challenges by

-->Closing the gaps in malaria service delivery to get the best medicine, with the correct diagnosis, to the right patients, in the timeliest manner.
-->Unlocking the potential of key drug-based approaches, helping countries to introduce, implement, and scale-up proven innovations to move countries forward in their elimination efforts, according to each country’s unique malaria situation.
-->Strengthening malaria health systems and a rigorous use of data to link operational research and country-led dialogue with global technical leadership for the means of accelerating strategic service delivery improvements and advancing key learnings.

In each country, IM builds on key lessons learned from the PMI-funded
Improving Malaria Diagnostics IMaD project 2008-2013 and MalariaCare
2013-2018. IMaD was mandated to focus solely on malaria diagnosis.
MalariaCare expanded to include both malaria diagnosis and treatment. The
scope of IM is expanded further to include malaria diagnosis and treatment,
malaria in pregnancy, and new drug-based approaches like seasonal malaria
chemoprevention, mass drug administration and reactive case detection, where
appropriate.

Join us!

In Tanzania, IM will work closely with NMCP, Zanzibar Malaria Elimination
Program ZAMEP, President’s Office-Regional Administrative and Local
Government PO-RALG, PMI/Tanzania, and other PMI partners to improve the
quality of and access to malaria services at both the facility and community
levels. IM will build on progress made in malaria service delivery by focusing
on the following areas of work

-->Provide high quality technical expertise and assistance to NMCP and ZAMEP for the development of policies, strategies, and implementation plans related to case management, malaria in pregnancy MIP, and chemoprevention
-->Strengthen case management and MIP prevention by supporting the implementation and/or planning and data use of Malaria Service Delivery and Quality Improvement MSDQI in public and private health facilities in selected districts
-->Provide technical and implementation support for integrated community case management iCCM, including development and rollout of training and supervision

We are looking for a Senior Technical Advisor to provide high quality
technical expertise and assistance to NMCP and ZAMEP for the development of
policies, strategies, and implementation plans related to case management,
malaria in pregnancy MIP, and chemoprevention, and to provide high-level
technical oversight to the IM team in Tanzania.
