services. Digital Square is one of CoDE’s flagship global initiatives.
It is PATH-led and funded by multiple donors, including USAID and the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to advance digitally enabled health
services to help close the health equity gap. Conceived from the
lessons of the inefficiencies and redundancies of prior investments in
digital technologies for international development, Digital Square works
with ministries of health to align adaptable, interoperable digital
technologies with local health needs and brings partners together to
improve how the global community designs, uses, and pays for digital
health tools and approaches.

Project Director for its Digital Square team. The Project Director will
work closely with the US Agency for International Development (USAID)’s

providing technical support in digital health systems and platform. The

in implementation of their Digital Community Health Initiative (DCHI).
