CHAI operates in over 40 countries and focuses on creating and sustaining high-quality health systems by working alongside governments and the private sector. Initially established to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic, CHAI has since expanded its mission to include a wide range of health issues, including infectious diseases like COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis, as well as non-communicable diseases such as cancer and diabetes. The organization emphasizes sustainable impact, ensuring that programs are designed to scale nationally and that learnings are shared globally. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, recognizing that its mission is best advanced by the contributions of individuals with diverse experiences and backgrounds.

This role is crucial in ensuring that the program operates efficiently, adheres to budgetary constraints, and meets the requirements set forth by the Ministry of Health and donors.

The Analyst will serve as the primary liaison with County Health Management Teams (CHMTs), lead county entry meetings, and advocate for the recognition of peer educators within community health systems. Additionally, the role involves representing CHAI with national stakeholders, coordinating data collection and reporting, overseeing data quality, and supporting operational research and evaluations.
