- Description
- SOLICITATION FOR THE GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY ADVISOR – BURKINA FASO The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks to employ a Global Health Security Advisor who will be primarily responsible for ensuring well-coordinated and effective delivery of technical and program support across the Agency's Global Health Security and Development (GHSD) portfolio in Burkina Faso. The portfolio includes priority USG programming for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness, the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks, and USAID's Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) program to pre-empt or combat, at their source, newly emerging diseases of animal origin that could threaten human health. The Advisor will be responsible for overseeing a multi-sectoral, multi­country, complex portfolio, providing leadership and technical support to the full range of GHSD investments as they relate to the designated region. The Advisor will serve as a high-level technical advisor to the USAID Limited Presence Country Office (LPCO) in Burkina Faso which is a unit of the USAID/Senegal Mission. The Advisor will be responsible for working closely with Washington-based AORs to ensure coordination across all assets within the GHSD portfolio and to ensure that program activities are well coordinated with national governments. The Advisor will also liaise with the AORs and CORs of applicable USAID projects in the West Africa region to ensure coordination of GHSA activities and mandated reporting. Placement of an Advisor in Burkina Faso will fill a critical role for USAID to meet the expectations of the White House and Congress for rapid, effective, and coordinated implementation of GHSA Action Packages. At the same time, CDC and DOD will be programming significant amounts of their own funds for GHSA activities necessitating effective USG coordination. The Advisor will work closely with other USG partners, particularly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Department of Defense (DOD) offices working at national levels, which also provide support for GHSA implementation, thus presenting a "whole of government" approach.
