CAMRIS International seeks a Deputy Project Director to support the USAID-funded District Coverage of Health Services Project (DISCOVER-H) that we are currently pursuing; the goal of this effort is Improved health outcomes in Zambia; the Purpose: To reduce preventable morbidity and mortality in a sustainable fashion; the Objective is to provide High-quality, integrated health services are used more by target groups. It also seeks to address Social marketing:DISCOVER-H will use marketing techniques to produce social benefits (positive health seeking behaviors, such as good hygiene practices, consistent and correct use of socially-marketed and other health products, etc.) Total Market approach:The recipient will collaborate with the public and commercial sectors to deliver health choices for all population segments. The goal is to ensure that those in need are reached with the appropriate products: those in the poorest communities receive free products, those with slightly greater resources benefit from partially subsidized products, and those with a greater ability to pay should purchase their products from the commercial sector. Greater efficiency in the market increases sustainability by better targeting public and social sector subsidies and decreasing “crowding out” of the commercial sector. Particular care must be taken with community based distribution of products or services, to avoid confusion in acceptability or use by target users.
