PATH recuits 01  Advocacy and Communications Associate

PATH recuits 01  Advocacy and Communications Associate, Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness.

Job Description

PATH is a global organization that works to accelerate health equity by bringing together public institutions, businesses, social enterprises, and investors to solve the world’s most pressing health challenges. With expertise in science, health, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales solutions—including vaccines, drugs, devices, diagnostics, and innovative approaches to strengthening health systems worldwide.

Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) is a global effort led by PATH to accelerate availability, adoption and scale-up of tools to identify severe illness and decrease mortality in children under five years of age. PATH and its primary partner, the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), will implement a four-year project funded by Unitaid. TIMCI has two major goals that both seek to improve detection of severe disease in children under five: 1) to improve healthcare workers’ ability to diagnose severe disease by equipping them with pulse oximeters (POX) and electronic decision support tools; and 2) to accelerate the development and market entry of non-invasive devices that augment the features of a standard POX with one or more additional vital sign measurements. This high profile and potentially high impact project began in July 2019 and will take place in five countries: Kenya, Myanmar, Senegal, Tanzania, and the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

PATH is seeking an Advocacy and Communications Associate to join the project team in Senegal. Working under the management and direction of the Senegal Country Lead, the Advocacy and Communications Associate will support the development and implementation of evidence-based advocacy and communications activities for the TIMCI project in Senegal.  The Associate will liaise with PATH’s Advocacy and Public Policy program for strategic support and ensuring coordinated PATH approach to advocacy and engagement with health decision makers and child health partners.
