BACKGROUND

Inter Aide is an international organisation specialised in the implementation of programmes that promote access to development for the most vulnerable communities. Inter Aide has been working in Malawi since 1992, with interventions around Health, Water Point Maintenance, and Agricultural development in the Central and Southern regions of Malawi.

Inter Aide, in collaboration with local partners and the Department of Animal Health and Livestock Development (DAHLD) from the Ministry of Agriculture, has developed over the past fifteen years an expertise on the implementation of community vaccinator networks allowing the vaccination of chickens against the Newcastle Disease to improve the nutrition and incomes of small-scale rural producers.

A new phase of the program, funded by the French Development Agency, started in September and aims at 1) To support the government of Malawi in improving the production of I-2 vaccine and its quality control; 2) Extending the network of vaccinators to six additional districts; and 3) Support the Government of Malawi to improve the governance of the sector.

The program currently operates in the following nine districts: Balaka, Dedza, Kasungu, Lilongwe, Machinga, Mangochi, Phalombe, and Zomba, and benefits more than 300,000 families. Health

Inter Aide seeks a motivated and field-oriented person for one-year with the possibility of extension.
