About CHANCEN International

CHANCEN International is a non-profit organization that provides an ethical, fair, and responsible financing model for young people in Africa to access quality tertiary education. This financing model is called an Income Share Agreement (ISA) and was tried and tested for 20 years in Germany before being launched in East Africa in 2018. With an ISA financing model, CHANCEN International pays tuition fees during beneficiaries’ tenure of their studies, and graduates pay them back according to their income at the end of their studies, thus making it possible to finance the next generation of students.  CHANCEN administrative base is located in Kigali, Rwanda, and in its first two years of financing operations, more than 1300 young people accessed funds for their tertiary education.

CHANCEN believes that young Africans are ready to take on the problems that have held their continent back if they are fairly and responsibly empowered. Education is one of the vehicles for harnessing that potential, and we work to create equal access to high-quality tertiary education for traditionally excluded populations.  Our unique and innovative model of responsible and sustainable financing has the power to unleash intergenerational economic mobility for marginalized youth as they gain the skills required to participate in building strong economies and peaceful nations.

CHANCEN International’s next phase of growth comes with the launch of the Future of Work Fund which provides a blended investment opportunity for investors who want to ensure that the next generation of youth in Africa acquire employable skills and move into gainful employment. Our Income Share Agreement model has ensured students were able to continue their education to employment journey in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and the demand from both students and partner institutions has seen a sharp increase in recent months due to reduction in household income and the ability for excluded youth to pay for education. CHANCEN International is seeking to raise $6M by the close of 2020 to advance our goal of serving 10,000 students in Rwanda, South Africa, and Kenya by 2023. Our 25-year-old financial instrument provides a blended investment option with a 5% return on debt for a 6year term as well as the option to make catalytic equity.

Free Online Course on Digital Humanities at Harvard University: (Deadline Ongoing)

Details

Develop skills in digital research and visualization techniques across subjects and fields within the humanities.

Course description

As primary sources of information are more frequently digitized and available online than ever before, how can we use those sources to ask new questions? How did Chinese families organize themselves and their landscapes in China’s past? How did African slaves from different cultures form communities in the Americas? What influences informed the creation and evolution of Broadway musicals? How can I understand or interpret 1,000 books all at once? How can I create a visualization that my students can interact with? The answers to these questions can be explored using a wide variety of digital tools, methods, and sources.

As museums, libraries, archives and other institutions have digitized collections and artifacts, new tools and standards have been developed that turn those materials into machine-readable data. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), for example, have enabled humanities researchers to process vast amounts of textual data. However, these advances are not limited just to text. Sound, images, and video have all been subject to these new forms of research.

This course will show you how to manage the many aspects of digital humanities research and scholarship. Whether you are a student or scholar, librarian or archivist, museum curator or public historian — or just plain curious — this course will help you bring your area of study or interest to new life using digital tools.

What you’ll learn

  • What the term “digital humanities” means in different disciplines.
  • How common digital tools work and examples of projects using them.
  • How various file types can be used to create, gather, and organize data.
  • How to use command-line functions to analyze text.
  • How to use free tools to create visual text analysis.

Microplanning Program Manager Rwanda at Akros Research

By

  • What’s so great about Akros?

    At Akros, we bring innovative ideas for gathering and using data to develop challenges through a “boots on the ground” approach. We’ve built our organizational culture and nuanced approach to implementation by being where our work is. Akros has been supporting government and partner counterparts from our home base in Lusaka, Zambia for over 10 years. This close, on the ground, the partnership has helped to contextualize our work to ensure that we are only scaling the ideas and approaches which will work and will be sustained in under-resourced settings over time.




    What impactful projects are we starting in Rwanda?

    Akros is designing, building, and implementing systems that make a significant health impact in cost-effective ways. Akros, in collaboration with the Rwanda Biomedical Center and The END Fund, is embarking on a two-year project that will improve the quality of neglected tropical disease (NTD) micro-planning in routine deworming programs in Rwanda, in line with the government’s NTD Strategic Plan (2019-2024). Akros is responsible for microplanning, a process to collect, consolidate, and apply data that allows implementers to (1) improve the reach of mass drug administrations (MDAs) through a better understanding of the size and distribution of their target population and its burden of disease, (2) quantify and allocate the material and human resources required for high-quality MDA, and (3) develop an appropriate monitoring framework to guide interventions and assess program performance.




    Position overview:

    We are looking for a skilled, technical program manager who is able to work with our field-based implementation teams, understand the field needs, and translate those to system design and modifications. The PM will establish an in-country presence and close working relationship with Rwanda’s NTD teams, will spearhead coordination with all stakeholders and will maintain a strong understanding of all moving pieces within the project, managing and tracking tasks against timelines. Best candidates will be ready to jump in and work with our technical teams to expand an existing platform for smart ‘spatial intelligence’ data collection and intervention planning. The PM will coordinate with other project stakeholders to ensure that the project is adequately monitored and evaluated, and that all perspectives and experiences are captured and incorporated into learnings for future microplanning package improvement and iteration. The PM will also work with our implementation teams to understand existing country and use case context, and to configure and deploy the existing open-source platform to swiftly meet the client needs.




    Who are the people we are looking for?

    Akros employs passionate, results-oriented self-starters who are willing to take the plunge with us. We are an energetic, fast moving team who often have to divide and conquer to get the job done. We are looking for people to invest in, to learn from, and to share and grow our lessons learned so far. And we are looking for those who can bring new ideas, new perspectives and new bursts of energy and innovation to our team. We have a deep history of people coming to Akros, coming alongside our founders, supporting the same vision they are seeing: to make tangible impact in sustainable ways for the vulnerable populations we are working among. Many past employees, consultants and fellows have created a lasting legacy at Akros through their own innovations which we have helped expand, and in some cases take to scale. If you have an idea that is going to create impact on global health and it fits within our wheelhouse – we are willing to help take that idea to fruition.

    Specific Responsibilities

    • Represent Akros to government and implementing partners. Liaise with Neglected Tropical Disease Programs and in-country implementing partners to build capacity for microplanning, facilitate integrations with existing datasets, and guide field protocol training and operational management for health workers who are administering interventions.
    • Engage with national and local (province and district) stakeholders to support the initial needs assessment to understand current micro-planning and intervention protocols and processes, as well as areas for improvement;
    • Work with in-country staff to field verify and map all administrative unit hierarchies, including health facility catchment areas in targeted districts;
    • Engage with national stakeholders to support resource planning based on risk mapping methodologies and targeted intervention areas;
    • Support the implementation and use of data and tools during the district microplanning activities for all targeted districts;
    • Collaborate with Akros technical teams and with software development team(s) through participation on quality assurance and live-fire field tests of the mobile application, forms and web interface, and program manager dashboards.
    • Support the documentation and adaptation of standard operating procedures and protocols for implementation in Rwanda.
    • Conduct in-country data collector training, including training and support for district decision-making protocols in the targeted districts.
    • Work alongside provincial ministries of health and in-country staff and partners to provide in-field support for the duration of the campaign in the targeted districts, according to program protocols.
    • Work with the Rwanda Biomedical Center and stakeholders to identify key champions at national, province, and district level and train and transfer capacity to these local personnel to support the microplanning, data collector training and in-field support activities during the subsequent MDA campaigns.
    • Engage national and local stakeholders in Rwanda to solicit feedback and identify areas for improvement, including the identification of additional tools and processes that could increase efficiency in planning, as well as overall program performance.
    • Document best practices for system configuration, protocol design, and end user training.
    • Actively participate in design team discussions of new product features.

    The appropriate candidate will possess:

    • Bachelor’s Degree or higher in a relevant field, with at least 5 years of strong public health experience.
    • Demonstrated project management skills and experience (stakeholder collaboration; planning; budgeting; implementation; problem-solving; etc.)
    • Technical, field-based implementation experience; experience with neglected tropical diseases and mass drug administrations considered a plus.
    • Previous experience with project and organizational representation to Rwanda Biomedical Center and health officers at provincial and district levels.
    • Demonstrated data system design and data visualization expertise.
    • Experience with spatial intelligence to plan and guide public health programming; past experience using GRID3 data and paper-based maps preferred. Best candidates will also have GIS expertise and use of GIS tools such as qGIS and ArcGIS for spatial epidemiology.
    • Experience with training design and facilitation targeting health workers (both facility and community based); capacity building in the area of health planning, and/or monitoring and evaluation preferred.
    • Ability to learn new topics and settings quickly and turn that learning around to create solutions to problems
    • Technical writing capability
    • Demonstrated ability to operate with minimal instruction in a fast-paced environment
    • Demonstrated ability to productively communicate with remote teams

    Useful skills will also include

    • Data analysis using mainstream statistical packages (Stata preferred)
    • Information system design would be a bonus

    **French speaking would be a bonus

    Term, Location and Payment

    This position will be for a period of 12 – 24 months. Salary will be dependent on experience. This position is located in Kigali, Rwanda.  An estimated 30% field travel is anticipated.

    This position is contingent upon Akros’ successful award of the project.

    Candidates will be interviewed on a rolling basis and are encouraged to apply early. To apply, please submit a cover letter and CV with references to careers@akros.com with “Application: Microplanning Program Manager – Rwanda” as the email’s subject line.
