Amref Health Africa in Partnership with Pharmaccess are implementing an innovative programme called M-HAKIKA; which is a health wallet on the mobile telephone allowing patients to pay and save for medical costs using their phone. Our dream is a future in which access to medical care in Africa is no longer only the province of a small privileged group, but available for everybody.

The Head of Programme will lead a five year programme that aims to improve Maternal and Child health outcomes using mobile innovations in a few counties in Kenya. These innovations are designed in-house but in close collaboration with major private sector players. The main objective of the programme is to increase access to health services for low income people through developing a savings programme with top-ups (from donor and domestic remittances) via a mobile health wallet. M-Hakika is built up around 6 work streams and multiple stakeholders which need to be well coordinated and rolled out in a synergistic manner.

We are looking for a dynamic and strategic team player who believes in bringing lasting health change to Africa through innovative approaches to lead the M-HAKIKA initiative. A Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) or Master’s degree in (public) health or economics with 5 years’ experience in a leadership role is required. If you have high proficiency in IT plus experience in designing and implementing performance based work structures and data driven decision making, you are welcome to view the detailed job description by visiting www.amref.org and email your letter of motivation and CV to recruitment@amref.org
