Founded in 2004 with experts in public health and digital technology, we develop solutions that make health systems more personalized, accessible and coordinated. We partner with governments and like-minded organizations to improve the performance of health systems so that people receive the right care at the right place and time. We are currently improving health decisions in Malawi, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Zambia. Our vision is a world where everyone, no matter where, has access to the healthcare they need to live longer, healthier lives.

We are currently recruiting for a Strategic Partnerships Lead to be responsible for key account and relationship management of strategic partnerships that generate multi-year funding, enhance D-tree’s visibility, and support initiatives to strengthen health systems. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to leverage their established network and program and partnership development expertise to unlock high-impact partnerships with donors and like-minded organizations to advance D-tree’s mission of expanding access to healthcare in Sub Saharan Africa.
