Close collaboration with the Mission management will ensure that outreach activities support USAID / Bangladesh strategic goals including, but not limited to, those outlined in the Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). A key function of this position will be to mentor the DOC team and build capacity within the mission and with implementing partners to develop more effective communication plans and materials. S/he will also serve as principal liaison with the Agency's Legislative and Public Affairs Bureau in Washington (USAID/LPA). Under the direction of the Mission Director, PRO is responsible for overseeing the formulation and implementation of the Mission's CDCS for Bangladesh and assisting to define the role and objectives of U.S. assistance.
