Jhpiego — An Affiliate of Johns Hopkins University
About this Role
This Africa-based regional advisor provides technical expertise and leadership in the design, implementation, and oversight of advanced newborn and small and sick newborn (SSNB) health activities as part of comprehensive MNCH-N programs across several African countries, including Tanzania. Key requirements include clinical or public health expertise in newborn care, experience with SSNB programming, and proven capacity to provide technical assistance across multiple countries simultaneously.

The ideal candidate is a clinically trained global health professional based in Africa with a strong regional network and experience working on USAID or other donor-funded MNCH programs.
