11.  STATEMENT OF DUTIES

INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks to employ a U.S. Personal Services Contractor (USPSC) or Third Country National (TCN) who will be responsible for ensuring the well-coordinated and effective program implementation of the U.S. Government (USG) Global Health Security Agenda portfolio in Senegal. The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) Advisor will be responsible for overseeing a multi-sectoral, complex portfolio, providing leadership and technical and administrative support to the full range of GHSA investments as they relate to Senegal, which includes COVID-19, Ebola and Ebola-like disease preparedness, and prevention, detection, and response.

This position will be under the supervision of the USAID/Senegal Health Office Director or his/her designee. The incumbent will work closely with the U.S. Embassy Senegal, USAID/Washington, the economic growth, environment and other teams within USAID/Senegal Mission. In addition, the incumbent will be the senior representative of USAID GHSA activities to the Government of Senegal. S/he will also provide technical support to the USG GHSA team in Senegal and manage GHSA implementing partners. S/he will supervise one GHSA technical advisor consultant.  The Advisor will serve as a key member of the Embassy Dakar GHSA Country Team.

The placement of a GHSA Advisor in Senegal will fill a critical role for USAID to meet the expectations of the White House and Congress for rapid, effective, and coordinated implementation of activities to achieve Senegal’s GHSA Action Package targets.  The Advisor will represent USAID in all relevant interagency and other donor GHSA coordinating mechanisms in country to ensure USAID programming: is fully aligned with Senegal’s GHSA roadmap and annual workplan; is contributing to the advancement of action package milestones; and is responsive to the country’s context. The Advisor will work closely with other USG partners such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) such as Defense Threat Reduction Agenda/Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (DTRA/CBEP) and Africa Command (AFRICOM), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the State Department, thus contributing to a “whole of government” approach.

The Advisor will serve as a high-level technical advisor to the bilateral USAID Mission in Senegal on the GHSA. The Advisor will be responsible for working closely with Washington-based Agreement Officer’s Representatives (AORs) to ensure coordination across all assets within the GHSA portfolio and to ensure that program activities are well coordinated with the national government. The Advisor will also liaise with the AORs and Contract Officer’s Representatives (CORs) of applicable bilateral projects to ensure coordination of GHSA activities and mandated reporting.

This position is necessary to ensure appropriate implementation of the GHSA to prevent the future emergence and spread of Ebola and Ebola-like diseases. The Advisor will ensure all funds are appropriately managed and reported on.

BACKGROUND

In today’s globalized world, the speed with which newly emergent diseases can surface and spread, as illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also underscores the need for the global community to act preemptively and systematically to improve individual countries’ abilities to identify and quickly mitigate health threats arising within their borders.

The effective response to the challenges caused by the emerging multifaceted health threats undoubtedly requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The COVID-19 pandemic, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and a recent spread of Avian Influenza in West Africa are jarring examples of the need for greater capability in all countries and across multiple sectors to rapidly detect and respond to new or re-emerging public health threats. The socio-economic implications of existing and emerging zoonotic threats was underscored by the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa.

The early recognition of a potential threat allows for a global effort to take preemptive steps to bring the spread of the virus under greater control – and by extension possibly reduce the opportunities for it to emerge as a pandemic threat. Many of these infectious diseases are of serious concern to human and animal health, and they are emerging in places where humans, wildlife, and domestic animals are in increasing contact.

In response to the devastating effects of the EVD outbreak on the region, the USG prioritized support to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks in December 2014.  Senegal was selected as one of seventeen “Phase One” priority countries for the GHSA in April 2015. It has laid the foundation for effective GHSA interventions by developing a 5-year interagency GHSA roadmap, Year One GHSA Workplan and an Institutional Framework for GHSA coordination. The Government of Senegal has an established Health Security Coordination Mechanism under the auspices of the Prime Minister that regularly coordinates Health Security activities across 11 key Government of Senegal ministries including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Livestock, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Interior. This coordination structure also includes the World Bank, World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this position is to provide technical expertise to the USAID/Senegal Mission and USAID/Washington (USAID/W) to manage and coordinate activities associated with the GHSA portfolio as it relates to human and animal health and the environment. Successful completion of this objective will require working with a wide array of U.S. Government agencies, host government ministries, other donor partners, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and implementing partners.  The highest result is rapid, effective, and coordinated oversight of USAID implemented GHSA action packages.

The GHSA Advisor, working with the USAID/Senegal Health team will provide management and technical expertise to the Senegal Office, and USAID/W, with a key focus on achieving results under USAID’s GHSA portfolio. The Advisor will liaise with the Agency’s GHSA Unit (Washington, D.C.).  S/he will ensure that the Mission’s planning and response to GHSA is carried out in accordance with Agency and State Department directives.

Further, the GHSA Advisor has the responsibility to ensure that all administrative and accountability requirements related to USAID operations are conducted in compliance with Agency Regulations, policies, and procedures. The Advisor will consult with Financial Management, Contracting, Executive Office and Legal Officers of USAID/Washington as needed to ensure compliance.
