In 2009, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria approved the launch of an ambitious new initiative to increase access to malaria treatment around the world. Initially, the Affordable Medicines Facility-malaria (AMFm) is available to 9 countries in Africa and Southeast Asia that account for more than one-third of the global malaria burden. The participating countries have developed detailed plans and are now in the final year of implementing the mechanism and corresponding supporting interventions.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), in collaboration with other organizations within the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, has provided technical assistance to countries in the application process and has continued their support throughout the preparation and implementation phases of the AMFm.
Leading up to the end of Phase 1, CHAI will support countries in developing robust plans to enable a smooth transition to either the next phase of the AMFm or to another model to support ACT access. Over the next 6 months, the AMFm TA Volunteer would be responsible for coordinating with the AMFm stakeholders to develop a private sector case management strategy to ensure a smooth transition from 2013 that builds upon the gains achieved throughout the first phase of the AMFm.
The AMFm TA Volunteer would serve for a period of 6 months from July 2011 and be located in Dar es Salaam with occasional travel in the region. |
