- Description
- PEPFAR COORDINATOR SOLICITATION The incumbent is the primary point of contact and coordinator of activities related to the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (the Emergency Plan I PEPFAR) in the country. The PEPFAR Coordinator plays a critical role in the planning, implementation, and reporting of program performance of inter-agency programs. The role of the Coordinator is becoming more essential as the size and complexity of the program increases. The Ambassador heads the in-country PEPFAR program and is the final decision-maker under PEPFAR Guidance to all program plans and activities that are submitted to the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator for approval. The Coordinator is a facilitator, a communicator, and at times, a negotiator. The coordinator is, in general, not a technical director, although the coordinator may be expected on occasion to ensure follow-up on implementation of technical recommendations based on the Country Operational Plan (COP) and other performance review information. When delegated this authority by the Ambassador, the coordinator may represent PEPFAR with external partners including government, press, and others. Agency leads may also be expected to play a role in public diplomacy based on authority delegated by the Ambassador. USG Malawi has established an interagency HIV Core Team, which the Coordinator chairs and convenes. The HIV Core Team has also established subgroups in 4 technical areas. The subgroups should report directly to the Core Team. The Coordinator, in collaboration with Agency leads, will be accountable to ensure these groups are established, have an agenda and are achieving objectives. Agency leads should be copied on communications between the Coordinator and Technical Working Groups (TWGs) or staff and on substantive communications between the Coordinator and the core team lead in headquarters. This procedure is essential to retain trust and respect between agency leads and the coordinator. In addition it is critical that the Coordinator be copied on internal agency communication related to matters of PEPFAR program strategy, implementation and management and staffing. The Coordinator may represent the agencies at official meetings. When a Coordinator meets with Malawian government counterparts, s/he should include agency leads or, if not possible, consult with agency leads. The Coordinator is the lead for the development of the COP, Semi-Annual Program Results (SAPR), and Annual Program Results (APR). The Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that reports are submitted to Washington in time, for organizing the logistical arrangements for inter·agency work, and for keeping agencies on task for inter-agency efforts.
