About the job
Overview
Jhpiego seeks a Finance Officer to support program operations of the USAID Systems to End Malaria Burden Through Meaningful Engagement -II (SEMBE II) Project in Cameroon. The program will 1) strengthen malaria prevention and case management activities at health facilities and community level, 2) build management capacity of the district and regional level to provide oversight/supervision of malaria interventions, 3) improve data reporting, analysis, and use for decision-making by strengthening the HMIS. The program will operate over a five-year period in North region of Cameroon.
The Finance Officer performs routine and non-routine finance management functions for the Jhpiego Cameroon Office. Finance Officer has a fair degree of autonomy and may be accountable for certain areas of financial management, but should be prepared to cover others when colleagues are absent. The Finance Officer works interacts with a large number of internal and external clients.
Jhpiego, a Johns Hopkins University Affiliate, translates decades of program experience and in-depth technical knowledge into moments of care that can mean the difference between life and death for women and families. The moment a woman gives birth; the moment a midwife helps a newborn to breath; the moment a nurse screens for cervical cancer with a simple vinegar swab; the moment a community health worker tests a man for HIV and reports he is HIV free. By embedding the know-how and skills into everyday practice, we are able to increase access to quality health services and create a healthier future for generations to come. Access to lifesaving health care for all people, whoever they are, wherever they live, that’s our mission.
Jhpiego saves lives, improves health, transforms futures.
