Clinton Health Access Initiative Job Posting

Recruitment Team

In Rwanda, CHAI is supporting the development and early implementation of the novel Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program.  This Program seeks to develop the health workforce necessary to create a high quality, sustainable healthcare system in Rwanda. The HRH Program aims to significantly increase the quantity and quality of Rwandan clinicians and health sciences educators including: medical doctors, nurses and midwives, and health managers. This unprecedented substantial scale-up will be achieved with the assistance of an unprecedented consortium of 23 highly ranked US academic institutions. Each US school is sending full-time faculty members to Rwanda to help improve teaching, research, curriculum development, and mentorship over a 7-year period. Rwanda's HRH Program is currently the largest global health training endeavor that engages university level professors working abroad for year-long positions in a developing country. For further details about the HRH Program, please refer to the program's website: http://www.hrhconsortium.moh.gov.rw/.



The Government of Rwanda has already established a strong record of success in leading donor-funded health projects of a similar scale and complexity. CHAI is supporting the Ministry of Health (MoH) to manage the HRH Program during the critical planning and early implementation phases.
