Director, Children Without Worms (CWW)
Posted: Mon, 04/04/2011 - 2:21pm
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Director is responsible for the overall success of the Children Without Worms (CWW) program by providing leadership, technical expertise, and oversight in the areas of strategic program development, financial management, and collaboration with external partners such as the World Health Organization (WHO), NGOs and other organizations involved in the control of Soil-Transmitted Helminthes (STH) infections in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. CWW, an international nongovernmental program, oversees the donation of mebendazole from Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and albendazole from GlaxoS-mithKline (GSK). This position reports to the President of the Task Force for Global Health with dotted line reporting to J&J and GSK, program partners. This position is located at the Task Force for Global Health in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
BACKGROUND:
Founded in 2006 as a partnership program between Johnson & Johnson and The Task Force for Global Health, CWW supports global efforts to reduce the burden of STH infections in children who are most severely infected or at high-risk of infection and have limited access to safe and effective treatment. CWW is currently undergoing significant growth in the donation of mebendazole with J&J progressively increasing its annual donation from 40 million in 2010 to an annual donation of 200 million doses. It is also expected that CWW will play a role in decision-making for the GSK donation of albendazole to treat STH in children, a donation that will reach 400 million doses a year. These donations will involve a corresponding increase in the number of countries engaged in treating STH with the donated medicines. As a result of these changes in its scope and complexity, the program is being restructured.
