# Job Description


Who we are

D-tree International is on a mission to radically improve health by
strengthening health systems through innovations in digital technology. D-tree
works through partnerships with Ministries of Health and NGOs to bring
humancentered design approaches to collaborations in which we support partners
to understand local health system challenges and opportunities, and integrate
technology into these systems to improve the accessibility, quality and
accountability of healthcare delivery, ultimately leading to high-performing
health systems that improve health and wellbeing for all. A key aspect of our
work is our end-to-end partnership, in which we also support partners to use
systems thinking to roll out, implement and monitor programs and facilitate a
culture of data use among multiple stakeholders.

Since 2011, D-tree has partnered with the Zanzibar Ministry of Health to
implement an innovative digital health program, Jamii ni Afya “Community is
health” supporting Community Health Volunteers to provide health services
within their communities. This program has consistently demonstrated improved
health outcomes, a strengthened community health system, and increased use of
data for decision-making. Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot to a
national program and has demonstrated how digital technology can transform the
quality of a health system. The Zanzibar government has committed to adopt
Jamii ni Afya at national scale; integrating digitally-enabled Community
Health Volunteers into their formal Community Health Strategy. This represents
the world’s first nationally scaled digital community health program, bringing
high quality health services to the doorsteps of all of Zanzibar. The digital
health program will be fully scaled in July 2021, allowing D-tree to focus on
program sustainability, quality and impact.

An important aspect of our work is ongoing government engagement and capacity
building to fully transition Jamii ni Afya to the government in terms of
financial, technical and operational management. We bring together partners
engaged in various aspects of community and digital health to provide multi-
disciplinary support to the government throughout their journey to scale. At
the same time, we are working to further realize the potential of digital
health to strengthen the broader primary health system in Zanzibar, acting as
a key trusted partner to the government as they explore how the health system
can continue to be strengthened. This is an exciting opportunity to help
deepen and expand our work and impact.

Who you are

We are seeking a full time Zanzibar Director, based in Stone Town, Zanzibar,
to manage D-tree’s Zanzibar portfolio, which consists of multiple funding
streams supporting the Zanzibar government to integrate digital technology
into their primary health system. This is a dynamic and challenging role
requiring an individual with experience fostering and developing strong and
empowered multi-cultural teams, managing programs, engaging with a diverse
group of stakeholders, and strategically leveraging resources to deepen
impact.

You are someone who is just as comfortable motivating team members and
creating a positive office environment as you are engaging in strategic
conversations with the Ministry of Health and development partners. You have
the ability to see the big picture, as well as have excellent attention to
detail and are very proactive. You are passionate about leading teams and have
demonstrated your ability to develop leaders and create a positive, supportive
environment in which all staff feel engaged, empowered and valued. You are a
humble leader who aims to serve and support your team and you are able to
balance an inclusive and empowering leadership approach, while ensuring high
quality work outputs. You have experience strategically engaging with
governments to garner commitment and action to own development programs, both
financially and operationally. You enjoy developing partnerships with a broad
range of stakeholders, including government, local and international
implementers, and potential donors, and finding opportunities for mutual
benefit.
