Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

• Tracks how the devices are being used, whether they’re effective, and what system barriers exist.
• Uses data to continuously improve training, protocols, and implementation approaches.
• Documents and shares lessons learned with donors and the global health community.

Requirements

• Degree in Bio medical Engineering, Global Health, Public Health, or a related clinical or technical discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in global health program implementation, including experience managing technical programs in LMICs.
• Proven expertise in deploying and supporting health technologies within health systems.
• Demonstrated success in leading multi-country programs, managing technical teams, and collaborating with Ministries of Health and global stakeholders.
• Experience in developing and delivering training and capacity-building programs for both clinical and technical audiences.
• Strong understanding of donor-funded health programs, particularly those supported by the Gates Foundation.
