Background
JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) is a global nonprofit dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities throughout the world. 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) and Children Investment Foundation (CIFF) , JSI is implementing suits of projects - the Strengthening Service Delivery (SSD) and improve PHC Service Delivery (IPHCSD) project and eCHIS project in nine regions of Ethiopia.
Improve Primary Health Care Service Delivery (IPHCSD) project is a five-year project, launched in 2022, co-implemented with Amref Health Africa, and operationalized with local partners and national organizations. IPHCSD aims to improve the efficacy of, and linkages between, PHC delivery platforms, including health posts, community health actors, health centers, primary hospitals and private facilities for improved reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent health, and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) outcomes. It has three interrelated outcomes: improved access to and utilization of essential health services, quality of essential health care and technical oversight, and bi-directional accountability systems.
On the other hand, the Strengthening Service Delivery (SSD) in Ethiopia Project is a recently awarded project aimed at building upon the substantial innovative investments the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made toward improving the lives of people in Ethiopia. This specific 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 of commodities 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, without which high-quality services are not possible.
Overview of the position
The position involves ensuring the successful implementation of projects at regional, zonal, and woreda levels by providing technical support to regional and zonal teams and coordinating the activities. It also includes working with stakeholders including the MOH, RHBs, and other partners.

S/he leads the coordination and facilitation of joint planning, and partnership with the JSI and other stakeholders to ensure harmonization and alignment of activities with other JSIās projects, and health system priorities.
