Graphic Designer Job at Malaria Consortium

Malaria Consortium, established in 2003, is one of the world’s leading non-profit organisations specialising in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and under privileged populations. We increasingly find our work on malaria can be effectively integrated with other similar public health interventions for greater impact and therefore expanded our remit to include child health and neglected tropical disease interventions.

Malaria remains a public health problem despite progress in the last two decades. Even though the overall under-five mortality rate (U5MR) reduced by 15.9 percent, from 157 to 132 per 1000 live births between 2008 and 2018. The reduction in infant mortality rate (IMR) during the same period was 10.7 percent (from 75 to 67 per 1000 live births), with no noticeable change in the neonatal mortality rate over the same period (NDHS 2019).

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
