USAID's Office of Country Support (OCS) is the Global Health Bureau's (GH) hub for providing integrated strategic, technical and programmatic assistance to USAID Mission health teams. Serving as a bridge between USAID/Washington and missions, OCS coordinates across the GH Bureau and Regional Bureaus to streamline support to missions. This support aims to assist missions to achieve country-level development objectives; develop, implement and monitor the quality of field programs and activities; meet Agency design, monitoring and reporting requirements; and facilitate Washington/mission alignment of USAID health priorities. OCS also supports the GH Country Health Team System, which draws on GH staff expertise from across GH Bureau offices to monitor and address strategic, technical and programmatic issues, working with mission health staff to improve country and regional programming. Over the past five years, one of the most challenging issues faced by missions is staffing shortages due to unexpected delays in filling vacant positions or extended leave such as home leave or annual leave. This position calls for experienced health professionals with the presence, knowledge and the leadership skills to serve in senior leadership positions at select USAID missions abroad from two to six months. The Health Development Officer will support USAID missions overseas in the management of mission health programs, overseeing and supporting a wide range of health development programs in various locations, and providing technical assistance. The incumbent must also have the flexibility and experience to oversee program design and development, as well as manage local and/or international technical experts. During assignments, the incumbent may be responsible for liaising with the senior management officials within the US Department of State including the U.S. Ambassador or his/her designee in addition to direct supervision by a USAID Mission Director, Deputy Mission Director or his/her designee. The incumbent may also be required to liaise with senior management officials at other agencies of the US Government, international organizations, and the non-government community abroad. He/she may be asked to represent USAID to local officials, the private sector, diplomatic missions and international organizations; and visit program sites outside the primary office setting, acting according to United States Government (USG) protocol and regulations. The incumbent should have the skills and experience to provide authoritative advice and guidance to resolve, implement and manage health policy issues and oversee local and international technical experts in health technical areas. He/she requires the expertise to advise the Agency, mission, and other development collaborators about the range and relative effectiveness of health programs and contribute to overall mission planning.
