Job Description

PATH is an international nonprofit organization that transforms global health through innovation. We take an entrepreneurial approach to developing and delivering high-impact, low-cost solutions, from lifesaving treatments, vaccines and devices to collaborative programs with communities. Through our work in more than 70 countries, PATH and our partners empower people to achieve their full potential.

Pilot introduction and Evaluation of Sayana Press is a four-year project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Sayana Press (SP) is an innovative subcutaneous contraceptive. The project will facilitate and evaluate the pilot introduction of Sayana Press in four African countries - Senegal, Burkina Faso, Niger and Uganda. The project aims to make Sayana Press available through regular delivery channels and evaluate the impact of the product on family planning programs in order to build the evidence base for global decision-making about whether and how to include Sayana Press in family planning programs in the future.

PATH is seeking a Project Coordinator for the Sayana Press pilot introduction and evaluation project for Uganda. The Project Coordinator is responsible for three primary tasks:

  •  Contribute to the preparation of the product introduction plan 
  •  Coordinate implementation of the pilot introduction

Anticipate, identify, and trouble-shoot implementation bottlenecks and challenges as they arise; work with PATH Uganda leadership and relevant partners to resolve these challenges to assure smooth project implementation.

  • Under the guidance of the project’s Medical Advisor and the PATH Uganda Country Program Leader, coordinate regular updates and collaboration with the Ugandan Ministry of Health, USAID Uganda, DFID Uganda, and UNFPA Uganda.  Undertake this work with the goal of ensuring that project is implemented in a way that is consistent with Uganda’s national family planning objectives.

  •  Work with the PATH Seattle team to contribute key inputs to the first draft of the product introduction plan, and to subsequent updates and refinements as the project is implemented.

  •  Collect information needed for preparation of the introduction plan, including but not limited to information on distribution channels, service delivery infrastructure, provider training needs, communication needs, policy issues, and partner capacities.

  • Assist the PATH Seattle team to facilitate preparation of scopes of work and budgets with designated implementing partners in Uganda; assist with preparation of integrated project implementation plan.

  •  Support smooth, effective, and timely implementation of the pilot introduction of Sayana Press in Uganda.
