Location: Candidates from different locations are encouraged to apply, preference will be given for candidates based in Africa.
The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) is an international, not-for-profit research and development (R&D) organization that develops and delivers new treatments for neglected diseases that affect millions of the world’s poorest people.
Together with more than 200 public research and industry allies worldwide, we use the power of partnership, innovation, open science, and advocacy to find solutions to a great injustice: the lack of medicines for life-threatening diseases that disproportionately impact poor and marginalized people. Driven by collaboration, not competition, and by patients’ needs, not profits, we promote equitable access, foster inclusive and sustainable solutions, and advocate for a more effective global biomedical R&D system that meets the needs of neglected patients.
Since our inception, DNDi has delivered 12 new treatments for people with sleeping sickness, visceral leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, HIV, hepatitis C, and malaria that have saved millions of lives. We now aim to deliver an additional 15-18 new treatments by 2028 – addressing R&D gaps for neglected tropical diseases and viral infections, including new pandemic-prone diseases (such as Covid-19) and climate-sensitive diseases (such as dengue) with a focus on the needs of patients in low- and middle-income countries.
With 250 employees of 37 nationalities located in nine offices on four continents, DNDi is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as essential parts of our culture and key drivers of our success. We encourage candidates of diverse profiles and backgrounds to apply.
Purpose of the position
The Hepatitis C PACT partnership has been developed by DNDi, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Treatment Action Group (TAG), and FIND – the global alliance for diagnostics to help foster an enabling environment for improved availability of HCV diagnostics and treatments in low- and middle-income countries. The Hep C PACT is governed through two joint committees, the Partnership Steering Committee (PSC) and the Partnership Coordination Committee (PCC), coordinated by a secretariat hosted by the DNDi. DNDi oversees implementation of the Partnership’s Plans of Action, and the coordination of financial, operational, and programmatic relationships and responsibilities, and communications.
To ensure coordination of actions and adequate support to the PCC (in terms of programming, partner management, and communication), the secretariat is recruiting a Hepatitis C PACT secretariat coordinator. The secretariat coordinator is managed by and responds hierarchically to the DNDi PCC coordinator.
This position is responsible for both secretariat coordination and Hep C PACT communications.
