The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems. 

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries.

WJCF is an Indian not-for-profit entity, registered under Section 8 of the Indian Companies Act 2013, and has an affiliation agreement with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). Our mission is to save lives and improve health outcomes in the country by enabling the government and private sector to strengthen and sustain quality health systems. WJCF has partnered with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and state health departments since 2007, providing technical and operational support across key health priorities, including infectious diseases (COVID-19, hepatitis, HIV, TB, vector-borne diseases), non-communicable diseases (cervical cancer, diabetes, sickle cell disease), maternal and child health (anaemia, immunisation, diarrhoea, pneumonia), sexual and reproductive health, health insurance and digital health (AB PM-JAY, ABDM), oxygen and hypoxemia management, safe drinking water, and climate and health.

The World Health Organization estimated that 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) in 2022 and ~1.3 million succumbed to it. India accounted for the most people suffering from the disease, with 27% of the cases and 26% of mortality. The National TB Elimination Program (NTEP), headed by the Central TB Division (CTD), MoHFW, is an expansive public health program with the ambitious goal of eliminating TB in line with the mandate of the Sustainable Development Goals.

WJCF has been supporting the CTD and state health departments of more than 15 states in the mission to eliminate TB. WJCF’s TB program has been operational since 2012, and its interventions address several program areas, including preventive therapies, case detection, access to diagnostics, engagement of the private sector, and more. It also lends technical support to Governments across a range of themes- strategic planning, data analytics, monitoring and evaluation, patient management and delivery of services.

WJCF’s current portfolio of work spans support includes an evaluation of the TB drugs demand and supply dynamics, a landscape assessment for the next generation of diagnostic methods, a high-powered multi-disciplinary team translating programmatic information into action, and multiple large-scale interventions to determine the best methods for detecting hidden TB in the community.

• →Bachelor's degree in geography, geoinformatics, environmental science, public health, statistics, or a related field; a postgraduate qualification in GIS or public health is an advantage.
• →2–4 years of hands-on experience in spatial data work or health data analytics, with a portfolio of maps, risk visualisations, or dashboards produced for real programme or government decisions.
• →Proficiency in QGIS or ArcGIS for spatial analysis and map production, and working knowledge of at least one scripting environment — Python (GeoPandas, Folium) or R (sf, tmap) — for data processing and automation.
• →Strong MS Excel skills for data cleaning, structured analysis, and reporting tools; experience managing and integrating heterogeneous data sources (shapefiles, health records, field survey outputs, environmental datasets) into a unified spatial database.
• →Demonstrated ability to translate spatial analysis into outputs that non-GIS audiences — ward officers, health officials, programme managers — can read and act on without methodological explanation.
• →Willingness to spend approximately 40% of time on field across three Ahmedabad wards during the survey phase for ground-truthing and data quality assurance.
• →Fluency in English and Gujarati or Hindi.

• Familiarity with government health data systems such as IHIP, HMIS, or IDSP and an understanding of how disease notification data flows through the surveillance architecture
• Experience designing mobile data collection forms on SurveyCTO, ODK, or KoBoCollect.
• Familiarity with spatial statistical methods, kernel density estimation, hotspot analysis, spatial autocorrelation, applied in a public health or environmental risk context.
• Experience with web mapping or dashboard platforms such as ArcGIS Online, Power BI with spatial layers, or Mapbox.
• Familiarity with AMC administrative geography, ward structure, or Smart City SCADL data infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of AI productivity tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot for accelerating data synthesis, analytical write-ups, or report drafting.

• Spatial Problem-Solving: Frames public health challenges as spatial questions; knows which datasets to overlay to answer a decision-relevant question.
• Output Clarity: Designs every map and dashboard for the end user — a ward officer should act on it without asking what it means.
• Data Ownership: Catches errors before they reach a government counterpart; builds systems others can audit and reproduce.
• Field Pragmatism: Comfortable in the wards during survey phase; trusts ground observation over secondary data for informal settlement mapping.
• Vendor Coordination: Briefs and manages third-party technical agencies on coverage requirements and holds them to output standards.
• Initiative: Flags data gaps and anomalies early; proposes resolutions without waiting for direction.
