Cape Town, South Africa Clinton Health Access Initiative Full time

Overview:
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.

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.

**Team Overview**

CHAI in South Africa is building out a new team that will work on blended and climate finance for health. This team will work on a new program that aims to enable health facility solar electrification at scale and energy efficiency at public health facilities, by working with governments to aggregate large numbers of health facilities into portfolios, that will allow for a different type of financing to be deployed to enable solar electrification to the usual project or pilot based grant financing approach that has traditionally been used. Blended financing structures typically used to support IPP’s and solar project developers might work better to align incentives around system performance, as long as appropriate de-risking instruments are included. Working with portfolios of facilities also allows for bundling of Operations and Maintenance service contracts, which can be negotiated to link payments to outcomes (system performance and uptime).

**Responsibilities**:
CHAI is seeking an Associate who will work as part of a new team within CHAI’s health financing group, that will work on structuring deals in blended and climate finance for health. This role will specifically work on supporting preparatory work in South Africa to arrange financing at scale to electrify hundreds of health facilities and increase energy efficiency through innovative means.
- Specific responsibilities include the following_:

- ** Develop and maintain financial models** to estimate capital expenditures (capex) and operating expenses (opex) for solar electrification of health facilities. This includes analyzing various technology types, fleet sizes, and blended finance structures to provide insights into financial implications for governments and private partners.
- ** Collaborate with industry stakeholders** such as solar developers, EPCs, O&M contractors, and equipment suppliers (OEMs and distributors) to gather market data, pricing insights, and key trends that drive solar electrification projects.
- ** Support data collection, analysis, and reporting** to inform decisions for governments and private sector partners, ensuring that data-driven insights are incorporated into policy recommendations and project design.
- ** Support the roll-out of energy efficiency projects in the public sector**:

- ** Assist in public-private partnerships (PPP) for climate & health infrastructure projects** by:

- Conducting technical and financial analysis to guide government decisions on infrastructure design and financing.
- Managing early-stage market engagement activities with bidders and investors.
- Supporting government partners throughout procurement processes, from prequalification and tendering to finalizing agreements.
- ** Prepare detailed presentations, reports, and financial analyses** to inform key stakeholders, including governments, donors, solar companies, and investors, ensuring clarity and alignment across project objectives.
- ** Present findings and insights** to both internal and external audiences, showcasing the impact of solar electrification projects on health infrastructure at conferences and meetings.
