Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Advisor

Organization Background

Health Development Initiative (HDI) advances health equity and human rights for all people in Rwanda and across East Africa through policy advocacy, capacity building, research, and community-led service models. Founded in 2005 by Rwandan physicians committed to equitable healthcare, HDI has evolved into a multidisciplinary organization uniting experts in medicine, public health, policy, law, and community engagement.

We work to ensure that health systems, laws, and policies are inclusive and rights-based, particularly for adolescents, young people, girls and women, key populations, people with disabilities, refugees, and other marginalized and vulnerable communities. HDI believes that sustainable health outcomes require systems that recognize health as a right and communities as partners in change. We bridge the gap between people and the health systems that serve them, so that every person may live with dignity, well-being, and full access to their highest attainable standard of health.

Position Overview
