In partnership with the Government of Zambia, we bring healthcare directly into schools so that children stay healthy, stay in class, and reach their full potential.

Today, we have 1,062 health rooms, trained 8,370 School Health Teachers, and operate in 45 districts across all ten provinces, reaching more than 1.4 million learners through Zambia's first integrated School Health Program.

Our approach combines school‑based service delivery with technical assistance to government at every level‑strengthening planning, supervision, data use, and local capacity to deliver.

As we complete our national scale‑up, we're focused on deepening programme quality, strengthening delivery systems, and laying the foundation for long‑term government leadership. We're looking for a dynamic operational leader to help drive this next chapter‑someone ready to manage complexity at scale and help a proven model achieve lasting impact.

POSITION OVERVIEW The Associate Director, Measurement, Analytics &Strategic Information will lead Healthy Learners ' measurement, analytics, and strategic information function.

The role exists because Healthy Learners ' next phase of impact depends on our ability to generate trusted data, interpret it well, and translate it into action for programme improvement and government‑owned scale.

This role connects directly to Healthy Learners ' mission by ensuring that data from schools does not remain locked in systems or dashboards, but becomes practical insight that improves care, strengthens programme quality, supports evidence generation, and helps government partners make better decisions.

The role will have limited direct interaction with children. Its primary work is with data, systems, staff, partners, and decision‑makers.

However, because the role influences how data about children is collected, interpreted, protected, and used, it must uphold Healthy Learners ' child safeguarding, data protection, consent, and responsible data‑use standards.
