About the role

Sightsavers are embarking on a major new programme to advance inclusive development and empower young people with disabilities across Africa, placing a strong focus on young women. The programme centres on creating access to dignified and meaningful employment for youth with disabilities, aligning with broader strategies to promote economic opportunities for underrepresented groups.

Sightsavers’ DART Governance team are looking to recruit a DHIS2 Development Lead, to join their team for a two-year period. In the initial phase, the post-holder will be responsible for the end-to-end configuration, testing, and roll-out of the tracker tool, ensuring it meets programme and organisational requirements for data quality, privacy, and reporting. This role offers occasional travel throughout the tenure and is available in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia or Ghana. The role can be full time or worked on a four-day week.

If you have experience working with multi-country, multi-project DHIS2 tracker implementations, and can translate user requirements into clean DHIS2 configurations and iterative releases then this could be a great career opportunity for you to take up.

Key accountabilities but not limited to:

  • Lead the requirements gathering, design, configuration, and deployment of the DHIS2 Tracker tool for the economic empowerment programme.

  • Build and optimise programme rules, data elements, option sets, workflows, and analytics to support individual and aggregate reporting.

  • Pilot and validate the tracker with country teams; oversee user acceptance testing and iterative improvements.

  • Establish and enforce data quality rules, validation constraints, completeness checks and exception monitoring.

  • Define data management protocols and ensure alignment with organisational data governance.

  • Implement privacy-by-design: data minimisation, role-based access, secure exports, and ethical handling of personally identifiable data.

  • Work with DART Data Governance team to connect DHIS2 Tracker data to the Azure ODS/analytics layer. 
  • Ensure metadata, data catalogues and indicator calculations align to organisational standards.

  • Work with DART Data Use team to develop analytics tools for data quality and analysis, and to support project monitoring by MEL and programme management unit.

Knowledge, skills and experience as the DHIS2 Development Lead

Essential:

  • Demonstrable hands-on DHIS2 experience delivering Tracker/Event programmes at scale.

  • Either considerable working experience as a DHIS2 development lead, or a recognised qualification/degree in information systems, data management, computer science, public health informatics or similar.

  • Strong understanding of designing and organising data structures, including defining and managing data elements and their relationships.

  • Experience with unique identifier (ID/key) management and applying quality assurance methods to ensure accuracy and reliability of individual-level data.

  • Experience working with multi-country programmes and diverse, non-technical user groups.

  • Understanding of data privacy/ethics and safeguarding in systems that hold personally identifiable data.

The DHIS2 Development Lead is a highly varied and involved role, please read the full job description for more information.
