Malaria Consortium is hiring a Operations Officer based in Maputo.
Established in 2003, Malaria Consortium is one of the world’s leading non-profit organisations specialising in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and under privileged populations. We increasingly find our work on malaria can be effectively integrated with other similar public health interventions for greater impact and therefore expanded our remit to include child health and neglected tropical disease
interventions. We work in Africa and Asia with communities, governments, academic institutions, and local and
international organisations, to ensure effective delivery of services, which are supported by strong evidence.
Our areas of expertise include:
Malaria Consortium began working in Mozambique in 2005, supporting the development of distribution systems for long lasting insecticidal nets in the country. Our work grew from there to focus on public health communications that sought to increase malaria awareness and preventive behaviours, particularly among school children and teachers. Using malaria as an entry point, we expanded into integrated community health projects that focused on diagnosing and treating the
most common childhood illnesses – mainly malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea. Throughout, we have 2 consistently strived to integrate our work into government-led health programmes and ensure sustainability.
