- Description
- The GHS Lead Advisor will work in collaboration with the USAID/Washington GHS team and with regional colleagues to implement USAID activities, ensuring alignment with the government of Tanzania priorities. The Advisor will ensure effective U.S. Government (USG) interagency coordination and work closely with USAID colleagues and other USG partners, particularly CDC, and US Department of Defense (DOD) offices working in Tanzania at the national and sub national levels, which also provide support for GHS implementation. The US State Department provides important support for in-country USG interagency collaboration. The GHS Lead Advisor will be responsible for overseeing a complex, multi-sectoral portfolio, providing leadership and technical support to the full range of GHSA investments in Tanzania, including preparedness, prevention, detection, and response for prioritized infectious diseases of public health concern. This position will be under the supervision of the USAID/Tanzania Foreign Service Health Officer in the Health Systems Strengthening team. The Advisor will serve as a technical resource to the USAID mission in Tanzania, including the health, economic growth and environment teams, as well as the USG interagency team supporting GHSA. The Advisor will be responsible for working closely with Washington-based technical advisors, project management teams, the Nairobi-based east and central Africa regional coordinator, and the GHSA headquarters team to ensure coordination across all GHSA investments and to ensure that program activities and objectives are aligned with the GHS priorities of the USG and the Tanzanian government. The Advisor will also liaise with the Agreement Officer Representatives (AORs) and Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) of applicable bilateral projects at USAID/Tanzania to ensure coordination of GHSA activities and mandated interagency reporting. The GHS Lead Advisor provides a critical role for USAID to meet the expectations of the White House and Congress for rapid, effective, and coordinated implementation of GHSA. The Advisor will represent USAID in all relevant interagency meetings, and engage other international and multilateral donors within Tanzania to ensure USAID programming is fully aligned with Tanzania�s GHSA Roadmap and annual workplan, and that USAID investments contribute to the advancement of GHSA technical objectives and are responsive to the country context. The Advisor will work closely with other USG agencies in Tanzania, particularly CDC and DOD, thus presenting a ""whole of government"" approach to GHSA. The Advisor will work very closely with the Government of Tanzania including the Office of the Prime Minister; Ministry of Health,, Food Security and Cooperatives; Ministry of Wildlife and Environment, Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries and other government institutions and stakeholders responsible for �One Health� coordination. The Advisor will play a crucial role to help facilitate multi-sectoral coordination and meeting to ensure effective One Health strategies are implemented to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious diseases. This position is necessary to ensure appropriate implementation of the GHSA to prevent the future emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases.
