 Job Opportunities at D-Tree International- Early Childhood Development Coordinator June 2022

Early Childhood Development Coordinator
Reports to: Program Manager
Location: Stone Town, Zanzibar
Start Date: 30 June 2022

Who we are
D-tree International is a global digital health organization dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to high-quality primary healthcare in underserved areas. We do this by working with governments to design, build and deploy digital tools for frontline health workers that improve their ability to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care. D-tree engages with governments to develop a shared vision for the potential of digital health, demonstrates the effectiveness of digital systems to improve health outcomes, and accompanies governments to scale these digital systems nationally and institutionalize them within their broader health systems.

Since 2011, D-tree has partnered with the Zanzibar Ministry of Health to implement an innovative digital health program, Jamii ni Afya (“Community is health”) supporting Community Health Volunteers to provide health services within their communities. During these visits, CHVs provide health education and counseling messages on safe motherhood, early childhood development (ECD), child health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene and COVID-19 sensitization and refer clients to seek additional care if needed. This program has consistently demonstrated improved health outcomes, a strengthened community health system, and increased use of data for decision-making. Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot to a national program and has demonstrated how digital technology can transform the quality of a health system. This represents the world’s first nationally scaled digital community health program, bringing high quality health services to the doorsteps of all of Zanzibar. The next phase of the program will focus on program sustainability, quality and impact.

Through support from a new grant, D-tree aims to improve Early Childhood Development training for Community Health Volunteers, and coaching and counselling messages being delivered to parents and caregivers. Rapid testing through structured Plan Do Study and Act Cycles will be undertaken to identify the most impactful changes to be adopted.
