CHAI Rwanda is currently seeking a highly motivated, flexible individual to provide technical support to the Rwandan Ministry of Health on the District Health System Strengthening Tool (DHSST), the Medical Equipment Maintenance and Management System (MEMMS) and health sector resource tracking (HRT).
Health facility managers and government officials at the national and district levels utilize the web-based DHSST for strategic planning purposes. The project’s current focus is the creation of user-friendly reporting and analysis mechanisms that meet the diverse information needs and technical competencies of national and local health officials. MEMMS will empower the medical equipment division at the MoH to monitor the supply and status of medical equipment throughout country’s health facilities, enabling technicians to identify and repair equipment as needed. As well, MEMMS will provide decision makers with evidence on which they can base procurement and regulatory policy. Lastly, the HRT is a central component of Rwanda’s health sector planning and advocacy activities. General refinement of the Tool will equip national and district managers with powerful information required for operational planning and donor alignment purposes.
This position requires someone with a mastery of task prioritization and with strong problem-solving skills. Candidates must have excellent communications skills and cultural sensitivity as they will be working closely with MoH partners.

• Coordinate with the development team to define requirements, establish timelines, and develop content for web-based tools;
• Engage with district-based colleagues and health sector administrators to get user feedback on components of all three projects;
