CHAI is building on its successful work in HIV
and malaria treatment to support the development and execution of ambitious new
efforts to strengthen and streamline the supply chain both to and in developing
countries for high quality and essential health products in a sustainable
manner in order to increase levels of accessibility. These efforts will focus
on a number of countries in creating market structures that can assure that
products are high quality, widely available and affordable. In parallel, CHAI
is leading efforts to develop mechanisms to deploy new information and
communication technologies effectively in order to streamline supply chains
and/or increase demand for products.

Manager will be able to display a very high degree of credibility, borne out by
proven supply chain experience at an operational and technical level. The
Supply Chain Manager will have a practical understanding of relevant drivers
and motivations across different supply chains and be able to devise and
