Who we are

Job Vacancies at D-tree International- Project Coordinator February 2022 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.

D-tree is among the most experienced digital health partners in Tanzania, having worked with the government and multiple NGO partners since 2008 on a wide range of digital health programs focused on improving the quality of healthcare delivery. We are currently collaborating with the Tanzanian government on a digitally-enabled primary health care program in Kibaha, which has gained significant interest and is poised to strengthen a number of government digital health systems in Tanzania. We are also engaged in an early-child development research collaboration in which we are designing digital tools to facilitate an integrated community-based ECD parenting program, and will be engaging as the digital health partner in a large-scale community health HIV/TB program. As our portfolio in the digital community health space continues to grow, we have an opportunity to expand our engagement with the national government to serve as a key digital health partner for strengthening primary health care services. This is an exciting opportunity to help deepen and expand our work and impact.

Who you are

We are seeking a full time Project Coordinator, based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to support D-tree’s role in a USAID-funded community health HIV/TB program. The Project Coordinator is responsible for supporting the Program Manager so that digital health projects are delivered within scope, on schedule, and within budget. Together with the Program Manager, you will work with the program consortium and the D-tree team to strengthen Tanzania’s digital community health system and oversee its roll-out across 5 regions. Given the technical nature of our work, you will participate in the design process of digital systems – working closely with program partners to understand and document needs, collaborating with D-tree’s technology team to propose solutions, and contributing to software requirements specification. During roll out and program implementation, you will work closely with the consortium and D-tree team to develop training and implementation plans, program monitoring tools, and troubleshooting plans to ensure smooth implementation. You will also support other D-tree staff (Field Coordinators) in implementing project activities including trainings, monitoring, etc. This is a dynamic and challenging role requiring individuals who are quick learners, are comfortable with technology, and can effectively communicate technical topics to a non-technical audience.
