- Description
- Solicitation for a U.S or Third Country National Personal Service Contractor for Senior HIV Prevention Advisor, GS-14 equivalent - USAID/Malawi The HIV Senior Prevention Advisor is a senior public health advisor on all aspects of HIV prevention to the HIV/AIDS Team, the broader Health Office, and the Mission as a whole. The position is responsible for the design, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of a broad range of HIV prevention program activities required to implement PEPFAR in Malawi. The incumbent represents USAID/Malawi within the USG and to host country Ministries (including the Ministries of Health and Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare), the National AIDS Commission, partner agencies, and other stakeholders such as Global Fund and other donors, in the implementation of a broad array of prevention programming. The incumbent will supervise three staff in the Prevention sub-team. The position serves as contract/agreement officer representative and/or activity manager for grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements and coordinates funding, reporting, and administration with the interagency team and within HPN to ensure projects are conducted according to both technical and regulatory guidelines and USG funds are utilized appropriately. This position will provide oversight of key technical areas such as condom promotion and distribution, social and behavior change communication, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), community platforms for delivering HIV prevention services including HIV testing, and programs targeting priority populations such as young boys and men (including voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC)), key populations (including female sex workers and men who have sex with men) and adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). These priority populations require special focus in order to bring Malawi closer to epidemic control. The position will be a key advisor for the DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe) initiative, aimed at reducing new HIV infections among AGYW 10-24 years old through a combination of interventions that address biological, behavioral and socioeconomic determinants of HIV risk. While the prevention sub-team overseen by this position will consist of technical experts in interventions such as VMMC, PrEP, condoms, and AGYW prevention programming, this Senior HIV Prevention Advisor position will need to be conversant and up to date on the latest best practices related to all HIV prevention interventions.
