Dr. Jill Olivier is a Senior Lecturer and Research Coordinator at the University of Cape Town in the Health Policy and Systems Division, School of Public Health and Family Medicine. She coordinates the UCT program of the Collaboration for Health Systems Analysis and Innovation (CHESAI), is the Research Director of the International Religious Health Assets Programme (IRHAP); lectures on health systems research, and is the principle investigator for several active multi-country research studies. Prior to this she was based in Washington at the World Bank with a focus on non-state health service delivery and community response to HIV/AIDS. With a background in the social sciences, her current research and publication focus is on health systems research, in particular on areas of ‘intersection’, ‘culture’ and ‘communication’. For example: the integration of non-state health providers in health systems; community connection to systems; interdisciplinary research; multisectoral collaboration; organizational culture and health communication. She has operated as a researcher and research manager across Africa, as well as in the USA and the Asia-Pacific region.
