About Finance/Accounting Team The Finance team is responsible for the management of Evidence Action's financials in compliance with applicable accounting standards. The Evidence Action finance team helps the various programs carry out their highly impactful work by processing and recording financial transactions, providing useful insights through reporting, assisting with financial planning and budgeting, and ensuring compliance and quality financial stewardship.  The team operates in a nearly paperless environment, working with Intacct (a cloud-based accounting system), Microsoft Excel and Google Workspace on a daily basis. Maternal Health Team One of Evidence Action’s newest initiatives is the Maternal Syphilis Screening and Treatment Program in which we partner with Ministries of Health to increase syphilis screening and treatment among pregnant women in an effort to prevent mother-to-child transmission of syphilis. Without effective and timely treatment, syphilis infections in pregnancy carry a significant risk of stillbirth, neonatal death, and cognitive and physical disability. Across the globe, syphilis infection in pregnancy leads to over 200,000 stillbirths and neonatal deaths - more than the child mortality caused by HIV - and over 100,000 instances of disability in newborns. Our aim is to close syphilis screening gaps via introduction of HIV/syphilis dual testing and to close treatment gaps by implementing strategies to address context-specific treatment barriers for women who test positive for syphilis. Our maternal syphilis program launched in Liberia in 2020 and are now in the midst of expanding the program to Zambia, Cameroon, and Indonesia. We are keen to continue growing the program to support the many governments across Africa and Asia who are working to adopt the HIV/syphilis dual test and eliminate mother-to-child transmission of syphilis.   Supporting the program to ensure that all funds disbursed for program activities are accounted for by tracking disbursements and reporting pending items to the role’s supervisor; Ensuring that Evidence Action’s Finance and Accounting policies and policies and procedures are adhered to for all transactions in Cote D’Ivoire.
