Who we are

We’re Population Services International (PSI), the world’s leading non-profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services that range from mosquito nets to contraceptives to HIV testing.
There are over 7,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a diverse group of entrepreneurs and professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds – from the medical industry to the music business – all with unique skills we bring to the job.
Join us! With support from the Government of Mali and international donors such as Global Fund, USAID, UNICEF, OMVS and private foundations, PSI has worked in Mali since 2001. We have implemented social marketing and behavior change communications to deliver prevention and treatment products and services across a range of health areas including HIV/AIDS, malaria and family planning. PSI is currently the national principal recipient for the €54 million Global Fund Malaria grant; leads a portfolio of over $10 million in national family planning projects funded by USAID, the Dutch Embassy, and a private foundation; and is a sub-recipient for a USAID-funded supply chain project for distribution of long-lasting impregnated mosquito nets. A particularly innovative program of financially self-sufficient latrine slab sales is funded by UNICEF. PSI/Mali is poised for significant growth in 2019, with new funding anticipated from USAID/PMI for malaria, UNICEF for WASH Marketing, and both follow on and new funding from a variety of donors for family planning. The program is among PSI’s top DALY performers and has an annual budget of over $20 million.
PSI is looking for a temporary Finance and Administration Director to provide short term support in the area of finance and administration. The Temporary Director will identify and work with the Country Representative to implement improvements to the internal controls and processes around finance, administration, inventory management, procurement and logistics at PSI Mali, in line with PSI’s global policies and procedures.
