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, operating in Nigeria as Organization for Innovation in Public Health (OIPH), anticipates implementing the Rotary Healthy Communities Challenge (RHCC) grant, funded jointly by Rotary International Foundation and The Gates Foundation, a multi-year effort to provide improved community health care, including for malaria and other priority diseases, in Nigeria. In Nigeria, community health care is coordinated through the National Primary Health Care Development Authority (NPHCDA) and supported and resourced through other national agencies, including the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP). The primary community health agents who deliver integrated community case management (ICCM) are the Community Health Influencer, Promoters and Services (CHIPS) agents. PATH, through the RHCC grant, intends to collaborate with NPHCDA, NMEP and state and local government teams to implement an expanded CHIPS programme in targeted areas.
PATH is currently recruiting for a State Coordinator for Kebbi State or potentially one other state (yet to be determined) to provide project coordination and management support in integrated community case management (i CCM) and CHIPS for RHCC project.
