Job description

Overview

The Unitaid-funded, Accelerating Measurable Progress and Leveraging Investments for Postpartum Haemorrhage Impact (AMPLI-PPHI) project expanded to Zambia and Nigeria in June 2024, as part of the European Union (EU) supported Safe Birth Africa (SBA) Initiative. AMPLI-PPHI / Zambia builds on and leverages Zambia’s PPH leadership and focused efforts to date, as well as the work across- Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, India, and Kenya, where AMPLI-PPHI started in 2022. The project aims to catalyze early adoption and lay the groundwork for scaling up of World Health Organization (WHO) recommended but under-utilized drugs (Heat Stable Carbetocin (HSC) and Tranexamic Acid (TXA)) for prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) at facility level and advance distribution of misoprostol for prevention of PPH at community level in high-burden countries, including Zambia. Jhpiego is leading this project in collaboration with the Zambia Association of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (ZAGO) and the Ministry of Health (MOH).

As part of its learning agenda, the AMPLI-PPHI project is conducting implementation research, as part of a six-country study, to generate evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and budgetary impact of expanding the use of HSC and TXA for PPH prevention and treatment. It is a mixed-methods implementation research with convergent qualitative and quantitative data collection tools.

Jhpiego seeks experienced transcribers to participate in the implementation of this study.

The closing date is Thursday, July 18, 2025
