The MENTOR Initiative (MENTOR) is an international non-governmental organisation devoted to reducing death and suffering from malaria in humanitarian crises. The MENTOR Initiative is currently providing on going emergency support to the most vulnerable communities in Liberia, Angola, Kenya, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and Chad.
The MENTOR Initiative has been present in Angola since 2002, working alongside the National Malaria Control Program to reduce the burden of the disease in Zaire, Huambo and Uige provinces. Since 2011, the Country Program has been managing this private sector malaria program, introducing Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) in private pharmacies, as well as three large public sector malaria case management programs mainly oriented towards capacity building; and in 2013, a new neglected tropical diseases control program based around mass drug administrations (MDAs) was launched. All five programs are 5 year-programs.
The Program Coordinator will lead malaria public health program in Uige. This role will be responsible for expanding and coordinating the activities related to two current malaria grants (World Learning and Exxon Mobile) in close collaboration with Mentor Medical Coordinator.
