• Ensure the quality translation of all HMIS learning materials
• Provide technical input during the configuration and customization of DHIS2 ensuring data from the health programs is accurately captured.

To be successful you will have a Master in Public Health and relevant field experience working with management of heath facility data. Motivated by developing and improving the capacity of staff in using the HMIS, in addition you will have:

• Experience in epidemiology and Health Management Information Systems
• Experience in analysing complex data, including both quantitative and qualitative data sets
• Knowledge and direct experience of people development approaches and methodology
• Ability to facilitate and lead trainings on a variety of M&E and HMIS topics
