The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI)
Closing date: 14 Jun 2011
Location: United Republic of Tanzania (the) - Dar es Salaam
Overview:
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI - formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative) under the leadership of former President William Jefferson Clinton III has worked since 2002 to reduce the pricing of HIV/AIDS medicines and tests, and to work with governments around the world to further turn the tide on the disease by building the systems needed to deliver care and treatment.
In seven short years, President Clinton and the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative have made a substantial impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This includes seven breakthrough price reductions for drugs and diagnostics. Today, more than two million people living with HIV/AIDS are on lifesaving treatment using medicines purchased under CHAI agreements with manufacturers. This includes two out of every three children who are on HIV/AIDS treatment. CHAI's greatest work is as a trusted partner to national governments whose efforts have made possible tremendous gains in HIV/AIDS services and public health.
In addition to programs focused on HIV/AIDS, CHAI has expanded in recent years to assist efforts to fight malaria, lowering the prices and improving access to malaria medicines. CHAI has also worked with a number of governments on improving the underlying systems needed to deliver comprehensive health care. Given CHAI's expansion and growth, on December 10th, President Clinton announced that the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative will become the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). Since 1 January 2010, it became a separate non-profit organization under President Clinton's leadership as chairman of the board of directors. This change recognizes the expanded role CHAI has played for some time in strengthening health systems broadly while still playing a leading role in HIV/AIDS.
CHAI's collaboration with the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania started in 2003 when a team of volunteers with business and public health expertise to elaborate a business plan for HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment. This was then adopted by the Tanzanian Cabinet to be the national Care and Treatment Plan 2003-2008. This marked the beginning of a very successful partnership that saw CHAI become a close and trusted partner of the MOHSW. In the 7 year collaboration CHAI supported the MOHSW to initiate and successfully implement very challenging initiatives such as the:

Background
Following the approval of the High Level Panel Report on the System Wide Coherence in 2006, Tanzania was chosen as one of the 8 countries to pilot the concept of Delivering as One (DaO).
The overall purpose of UN reform in Tanzania is to ensure a more efficient and effective UN that delivers results in support of national priorities. Through avoiding fragmentation and duplication of efforts, the UN will have a greater impact on the development and humanitarian challenges that face Tanzania. The implementation of the DaO requires a “step change” in the way the UN does business.
The past 3 years of DaO have seen substantial progress in the way the UN agencies operate at the country level. There is now a need to sustain and improve further the performance both in programme delivery and operations management. In order to ensure further progress, the Resident Coordinator's Office (RCO) in Tanzania needs the services of a UN Coordination Advisor to lead the RCO team and support the implementation of the 2011-2015 UNCT Vision on DaO and UN Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP)
