The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.

Program Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical oxygen shortages across Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, prompting urgent global action. In response, the World Health Organization launched the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A), which established the ACT-A Oxygen Emergency Taskforce in early 2021. Co-convened by Unitaid and The Global Fund, the Taskforce worked to rapidly expand access to medical oxygen in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), raising over US$1 billion in grant funding. It supported countries in identifying needs, developing national oxygen scale-up plans, improving market dynamics, and strengthening supply chains.

As the acute phase of the pandemic subsided, the ACT-A Taskforce transitioned into the Global Oxygen Alliance (GO₂AL) in May 2023—a broader, multi-stakeholder partnership focused on long-term oxygen access. GO₂AL aims to close the global oxygen access and funding gap by coordinating members to co-create and co-implement solutions. Its priorities include investment consolidation and sustainability, procurement and market shaping, national planning and implementation, and demand generation, with a particular focus on LMICs. GO₂AL builds on ACT-A’s foundation by promoting inclusive, bottom-up approaches that engage governments, civil society, and communities.

Central to GO₂AL’s efforts is the policy foundation laid by the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution 76.3, adopted in 2023. This resolution calls on Member Countries to develop costed national plans for increasing access to quality-assured, affordable oxygen systems, aligned with universal health coverage and health-related Sustainable Development Goals. WHA76.3 serves as a vital policy lever, ensuring government ownership and commitment to sustainable oxygen access. GO₂AL advances this agenda through the Global Oxygen Strategic Framework and Investment Case 2025-2030, highlighting why oxygen is a high-impact, cost-effective investment—particularly for saving children’s lives.

GO₂AL is co-chaired by Unitaid and The Global Fund, vice-chaired by the Pan American Health Organization and the Africa CDC, and coordinated by Unitaid, WHO, and UNICEF. A Secretariat supports daily operations and strategic execution. Key partners—including the Gates Foundation, PATH, and USAID—contribute to expanding membership and deepening LMIC engagement. Together, GO₂AL and its partners are driving forward a coordinated global response to ensure that oxygen access remains a core element of resilient health systems and future pandemic preparedness.

Position Overview

GO₂AL has 5 working groups that drive each of its strategic objectives. As part of Working Group 3 – Support Robust Country Planning and Implementation - GO₂AL will assist countries in creating and implementing detailed national oxygen scale up plans (roadmaps), offering technical support, training, and strengthening regional networks. It will also help secure diverse financing options for sustainable oxygen systems and encourage knowledge sharing among countries to speed up affordable and equitable oxygen access in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The Analyst in this role will provide direct input into country oxygen scale up plans (roadmaps), and strategies to bring global best-practices around oxygen engineering for country consideration and adaptation. This is anticipated to be a 9 – 12 month position. The Analyst must be able to function independently and flexibly.

Assessments and Situational Analyses

• Support countries to analyse and assess the current national oxygen strategic frameworks and national documents that relate to oxygen systems and infrastructure to identify gaps and needs.
• Assist in evaluating the effectiveness of existing oxygen systems and propose improvements based on data-driven insights.
• Identify potential risks and challenges to the implementation plan and roll-out of activities; work towards addressing potential risks/ mitigation mechanisms.
• Conduct research and contribute to the identification of innovative solutions and financing mechanisms for sustainable oxygen systems.

Coordination and Implementation

• Support the development of detailed, costed national oxygen scale up plans (roadmaps), ensuring alignment with local healthcare priorities and resources.
• Provide technical support to countries in drafting and revising oxygen-related policies and strategies.
• Support National Oxygen Technical Working Groups to micro-plan activities for oxygen scale up plan development, costing and implementation
• Prioritize activities in alignment with the scale-up timeline and allocated budget to ensure efficient execution and resource optimization.
• Facilitate the coordination of oxygen-related activities among national stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and industry partners.

Monitoring and Informed Recommendations

• Provide strategic and analytical support to program work streams, monitor program activities, including but not limited to, working with, and engaging with field staff to review programmatic activities, track implementation of activities, and monitor and review outputs.
• Monitor progress on oxygen scale up plan (roadmap) implementation itself, as well as oxygen implementation in the context of other relevant programs, and report on key performance indicators and milestones.
• Collect, process, and interpret data related to oxygen access, production, and distribution to inform decision-making.
