Job Expired

Description
This position is contingent upon funder approval of key personnel and availability of funds
Population Services International (PSI) Uganda is a public health international non-profit organization that works to improve the health and lives of Ugandans. By approaching care from the consumers’ perspective, PSI Uganda provides life-saving information, products, and services to tackle some of the country’s most pressing health problems so that people can lead healthier, happier, and more productive lives. Using the market development approach and targeted social behavior change, PSI Uganda works to shift policy and funding, shape mixed health systems, and strengthen the public and private health sector across the country.

Increasingly, we work with consumers, local communities, market actors (private sector) and the Government of Uganda (through the MoH) to diagnose problems together, generating insights to design solutions that strengthen Uganda’s healthcare system for the long term.
