PATH current employees - please log in and apply Here

PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing heath challenges.

PATH is a part of the Rotary Healthy Communities Challenge (RHCC), a three-year, multi-country project with an overall goal to reduce severe illness and deaths among children under five years of age due to malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia through improved access to and demand for integrated community case management (iCCM) services. RHCC is jointly funded by The Rotary Foundation, The Gates Foundation, and World Vision US. Each RHCC country partnership is coordinated by a Country Committee chaired by a Rotarian.

In Mozambique, the Ministry of Health (MOH) instituted community health workers with the name ‘Agentes Polivalentes Elementares’, or APEs, recently renamed ‘Agentes Polivalentes de Saúde’, or APS, under the Community Health Subsystem Strategy. APSs are trained in disease prevention and treatment at community level, and to refer patients for further care at the nearest health facility. Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) complement the work of APSs by delivering health information at community gatherings and household interactions. Both cadres are central to the provision of iCCM in Mozambique.

World Vision is the main implementing partner for RHCC in Mozambique. Implementation – in the project districts of Dôa, Chifunde, Mutarara (in Tete Province), and Manica (Manica Province) – is carried out in close collaboration with MOH and sub-national health authorities.

PATH is a technical sub-partner on the project providing technical assistance in monitoring and evaluation, data quality, data use, and digital systems strengthening.

PATH is seeking an experienced Technical & Monitoring and Evaluation Officer based in Tete to support the work of the RHCC project in Mozambique, with a primary focus on strengthening the routine data pipeline to ensure timely, accurate, and complete surveillance data being reported from RHCC districts.
