Drupal Developer Consultant at John Snow Inc (JSI)

Background

inSupply Health is an independent regional advisory firm based in Nairobi pioneering new approaches to improve public health supply chains in East Africa. inSupply Health draws from the experience of its affiliation to John Snow Inc. (JSI). Our team of dynamic local consultants works closely with public and private sector clients to design optimized, responsive and resilient supply chain systems. inSupply deploys systems that deliver essential health products such as antimalarial and HIV medications, vaccines and contraceptives in complex settings. We take proven methodologies from the commercial sector and adapt them to local conditions. We involve our clients closely in shaping their supply chains so they can own, implement and continuously improve their systems over the long term. We specialize in: developing supply chain maturity strategies, building organizational capacity for supply chains, designing and implementing data-driven, optimized supply chain systems and quantifying health commodity needs. inSupply doesn’t just help our clients select the right technology for better supply chain management. We also invest in people and processes, helping to build a culture of data use and continuous improvement.

Who we are looking for

inSupply is adopting an adaptive learning methodology to conduct internal and external testing of the IMPACT Team approach. For this to happen, we will be creating a prototype IMPACT Team Portal, which will enable us to share learnings across IMPACT Teams, implementing partners, and ministries of health for better decision making. The portal will enable the team to collect, analyze, and visualize qualitative and quantitative data at multiple levels of implementation.

We are looking for a Drupal Developer Consultant to build this portal within 3 months. A strong focus of the project will revolve around user experience, particularly as it pertains to data collection and visualization. Integration with District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) will be another important component. The Drupal Developer Consultant will be assisted by a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Advisor with DHIS2 experience, as well as a U.S.-based Drupal Team.
