JOB DESCRIPTION
Pathfinder Overview.
Pathfinder International is a global leader in sexual and reproductive health. We place reproductive health care at the center of all that we do—believing that it is not only a fundamental human right, but is critical for expanding life opportunities for women, families, communities, and nations, and paving the way for transformations in environmental stewardship, decreases in population pressures, and innovations in poverty reduction. Pathfinder provides women, men, and adolescents with a range of quality health services—from contraception and maternal care to HIV prevention and AIDS care and treatment. Pathfinder strives to strengthen access to family planning, ensure availability of safe abortion services and post-abortion care, advocate for sound reproductive health policies, and, through all of our work, improve the rights and lives of the people we serve.
Program Overview.
Pathfinder has had a presence in Tanzania since 1960 when it supported the founding of the Tanzania Family Association (UMATI). In the 1980s Pathfinder began a long term partnership with a broad cross section of agencies and organizations focused on RH/FP for the development of a FP Community Based Distribution Program.  The CBD program prospered throughout the 1990 and in 1995 a Pathfinder Country Office was opened in Dar es Salaam. Since then the program has increasingly expanded to support the Tanzanian government in the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and to repositioning family planning.  Pathfinder is seeking highly motivated and self-driven staff to join a dynamic team to support its integrated programs.  These include, but are not limited to: Integrated Family Health (e.g., FP/RH, HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment, and Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health), Community Engagement, Health Systems Strengthening, Human Capacity Development and Quality Improvement base in Dar es Salaam.
