We have tracked over 50 mid and senior level roles in nutrition, vaccination, technology and infectious disease control across the continent. The World Health Organization and Africa CDC are scaling technical hires in Ethiopia just months after the December 2025 launch of the Fourth National Action Plan for the Prevention and Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
The two organisations are hiring in Ethiopia for AMR surveillance, AMR data, bioinformatics and environmental monitoring roles, a deliberate move to operationalise the country’s new national antimicrobial resistance strategy.
Other leading recruiters include Jhpiego Corporation and FHI 360 that have multiple open positions across the continent. East Africa leads in this hiring round, followed by Southern Africa, West Africa then Central Africa.
