The Vacancy

Established in 2003, Malaria Consortium is one of the world's leading non-profit organisations specialising in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and under privileged populations. We increasingly find our work on malaria can be effectively integrated with other similar public health interventions for greater impact and therefore expanded our remit to include child health and neglected tropical disease interventions.

We work in Africa and Asia with communities, governments, academic institutions, and local and international organisations, to ensure effective delivery of services, which are supported by strong evidence.

Our areas of expertise include:

disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment

disease control and elimination

systems strengthening

research, monitoring and evaluation leading to best practice

behaviour change communication

national and international advocacy and policy development

Country and project background

Malaria Consortium Chad is one of the country offices of the Regional Office for West and Central

Africa based in Abuja (Nigeria). Malaria Consortium Chad is currently responsible for the Seasonal

Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) project across 48 health districts in five provinces: Bahr El Gazal,

Lac, Mayo Kebbi Est, Mayo Kebbi Ouest, and Tandjilé. Strategic interventions focus on supporting

national-level policies and direct implementation of programmes combating malaria, malnutrition

and neglected tropical diseases. The office in N'Djamena is the coordination centre for all

programmes in Chad. Following a successful pilot in 2025, Malaria Consortium Chad is scaling up the

distribution of Oral Rehydration Salts with Zinc (ORSZ) in Mayo Kebbi Est and Mayo Kebbi Ouest, and

has received approval to implement a pilot programme for severe malaria management in the

Beinamar health district, Lac province.
