Job Description

Founded in 1978, JSI collaborates with government agencies, the private sector, and local nonprofit and civil society organizations to identify and implement solutions to the most pressing public health and education challenges.
In Ethiopia, JSI has been working to improve health outcomes for more than 25 years, implementing more than 60 projects and working in every region. JSI has historically managed a large portfolio of projects focusing on the quality, and equity in access to, reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) services, primary health care (PHC) including community health programs, digital health, health information systems (HIS), supply chain management, public health emergency responses, and social and behavior change.
Projects Overview
Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), JSI is implementing the Strengthening Service Delivery (SSD). The Strengthening Service Delivery (SSD) in Ethiopia Project is a new opportunity to build upon the substantial innovative investments the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made toward improving the lives of people in Ethiopia.
The SSD project focuses on building upon and leveraging previous and current BMGF and other donor investments to improve the quality of downstream, supply-side integrated services, and supply in three high-impact areas: 1) strengthening provider competencies to deliver integrated, high-quality services; 2) improving service delivery structures and processes required for high-quality care; and 3) improving the last-mile delivery of the supplies and commodities. The SSD aims to utilize existing resources and opportunities from Improve Primary Healthcare Service Delivery (IPHCSD) where the implementation woredas overlap and other partners. The IPHCSD on the other hand design a broader PHC model to pressure test the operationalization of PHC service delivery packages and modalities through the Networks of Care (NOC) approach in different contexts. This will be realized via strengthening the functionality of and bi-directional linkage across Ethiopia's primary health care delivery platformsHP to health center to primary hospitalfor improved quality RMNCH-N outcomes. The IPHCSD intends to achieve three primary objectives at the PHC level: 1) ensure equitable access to and utilization of essential health services, 2) improve the quality of essential health services, and 3) strengthen oversight and accountability
