🏢 About Chemonics

Chemonics International Inc., through its associate company SAII Associates Ltd/Gte, implements the USAID Global Health Supply Chain (GHSC) - Procurement and Supply Management (PSM) project, a flagship initiative ensuring uninterrupted supply of health commodities for PEPFAR and the President's Malaria Initiative. Working here means contributing to life-saving public health programs with a global impact, backed by decades of international development expertise.

About This Role

As an Insecticidal Treated Net (ITN) Consultant, you will lead the ICT4D deployment for ITN campaigns, coordinating mobile devices, POS systems, and biometric scanners to ensure accurate data collection and campaign monitoring. Your work directly supports malaria prevention efforts, enabling real-time tracking of net distribution and usage in high-burden regions.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by checking emails and tracker updates from field teams, then troubleshoot any device issues reported overnight. Mid-morning, you might conduct a virtual training session on data collection protocols or configure new Android devices for deployment. Afternoons involve updating documentation, sourcing online resources, and coordinating with the campaign logistics team to ensure all devices are ready for the next distribution wave.
