As USAID/Philippines implements an expanded portfolio of development activities throughout the region (Pacific Islands and Mongolia), there is a significant increase in workload across the technical and support offices.
As the need for strong communications in a rapidly changing operating environment grows, and as USAID increases its engagement in the region to advance the Indo-Pacific Vision, the Supervisory Regional Development Outreach and Communications Specialist must work closely with USAID staff, implementing partners, and Embassy Public Affairs Officers (PAOs) in the Philippines, Pacific Islands, and Mongolia.
The Supervisory Regional Development Outreach and Communications (DOC) Specialist is expected to establish effective, collaborative relationships, and systems with USAID staff, implementing partners, and the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Officers (PAOs). S/he leads the analysis, collection, and distribution of information associated with USAID’s foreign assistance program in the region. S/he maintains regular contact and collaborates with U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Sections (PAS) to ensure that the Senior Embassy personnel are properly apprised of USAID-managed public activities and projects and that policies and procedures regarding outreach communications are strictly adhered to and that the United States Government (USG) interests are protected. S/he also serves as principal liaison with the Agency’s Asia Bureau and Legislative and Public Affairs Bureau in Washington (USAID/LPA).
