Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and the Gates Foundation, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care project (DISC), supports PSI’s vision to reimagine healthcare by increasing awareness, availability, and access to contraceptive self-care methods like self-injection that give women greater power and control over their sexual and reproductive health. In partnership with Ministries of Health, healthcare provider networks, and other key stakeholders, DISC is integrating self-care methods into health systems, bringing care closer to consumers, and amplifying their voice, choice, and agency. The DISC project is expanding geographical presence by scaling DISC high impact practices through partnerships in existing countries (Uganda, Nigeria, Malawi) as well as expanding into new countries (Zambia, Mozambique, Kenya, Pakistan, and Ethiopia).
To support this scale-up, PSI seeks an Advisor I, Monitoring, who will support the monitoring functions of the DISC project scale-up across existing and new countries. This includes supporting the implementation of activities to strengthen the generation and use of high-quality routine data, driving program performance in line with PSI and global best practices. The Advisor I, Monitoring will work closely with project monitoring staff based in implementation countries, as well as the DISC project global M&E and dashboard teams to ensure timely and accurate reporting and visualization of monthly data and analytics. The Advisor may increasingly be involved in the design of monitoring and digital health activities of multiple regions. May contribute to internal capacity building efforts across the PSI network.
