STATEMENT OF DUTIES POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND USAID�s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) is seeking highly motivated, highly qualified individuals who want the opportunity to help support rapid international transition programs for priority conflict-prone countries. Created in 1994 as a distinct operating unit within USAID, OTI helps local partners advance peace and democracy in politically-transitioning countries. In support of U.S. foreign policy, OTI seizes emerging windows of opportunity in the political landscape to promote stability, peace, and democracy by catalyzing local initiatives through adaptive and agile programming. Countries experiencing a significant political transition in the midst of a disaster or emerging from civil conflict have unique needs that cannot be fully addressed by traditional disaster relief.� Timely and effective assistance to promote and consolidate peaceful, democratic advances can make the difference between a successful or a failed transition.� OTI assists in securing peace by aiding indigenous, mostly non-governmental, civil society and media organizations.� OTI uses such mechanisms as support for re-integration of ex-combatants into civilian society; development of initiatives to promote national reconciliation; identification of quick-impact community self-help projects to meet urgent economic needs; and aid to independent media outlets and community-based organizations to help promote informed debate and broaden public participation. To respond quickly and effectively and meet its program objectives and mandate OTI retains a group of high level professionals and experts under U.S. Personal Services Contracts (USPSCs). These knowledgeable and skilled professionals make up the vast majority of the OTI work force and are at its forefront implementing and achieving the office�s programmatic goals and objectives. There are several benefits that USPSCs may participate in, such as partial reimbursement for health and life insurance costs, as well as full coverage of workers� compensation, among other benefits. For more complete information on USPSC benefits, please see Section VI of this solicitation. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: https://www.usaid.gov/stabilization-and-transitions Introduction The Country Representative is a member of the Bureau for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization �(CPS)/OTI West and Central Africa Regional Team, reports to the OTI West and Central Africa Regional Team Lead or designee, and is based in Accra, Ghana.� The incumbent will be required to travel regionally as necessary. �The Country Representative�s principal responsibility will be the development, oversight and management of CPS/OTI's Littorals Regional Initiative (LRI).� LRI is a regional mechanism with the ability to implement activities across the five focus Littoral states: Benin, C�te d�Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo.� The incumbent will be called upon to represent OTI�s mission and programs to senior-level government officials, in-country visitors, senior officials from other international organizations, bilateral donors and local government officials.� In addition, the incumbent will collaborate closely with USAID/OTI�s Senior Regional Advisor in Accra. The Country Representative will be responsible for overseeing and managing all aspects of the LRI from its base in Accra, Ghana. Working with an Implementing Partner (IP), the Country Representative must be capable of overseeing grant development and implementation, technical assistance, and other assistance to beneficiaries in five select countries across the region. Contingent on funding, the Country Representative may additionally need to oversee the start-up of one or more intensive country-specific engagements (""Country Clusters') to deliver more robust tailored programming.� This would entail establishing a local IP presence and office(s), and likely the deployment of additional OTI staff or other representatives to provide day-to-day management. The USAID/OTI program is viewed as one part of a larger USG response to an evolving situation that also includes contextual monitoring and analytical tracking; support for pilot interventions; planning and initiating longer-term USAID programs; enhancing regional coordination processes focused on regional stability across USAID operating units, interagency and local partners, and donors; and training and capacity building of USG personnel and implementers in the region. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The work of the Country Representative requires teamwork, the exercise of discretion, judgment, and personal responsibility. As a member of a highly operational office, the incumbent is willing and able to perform a wide range of administrative functions to help ensure programmatic success. The incumbent has a high level of integrity and attention to detail to ensure the use of OTI systems and procedures to maintain effective and efficient management of funds, programming, and monitoring and evaluation. The incumbent is highly flexible and willing to work under conditions of ongoing change, and remains professional and respectful of colleagues and authority in a diverse workforce. She or he places a premium on the building of positive relationships with his or her respective team both in the field and in Washington, and with key stakeholders both in and outside of USAID. The incumbent is able to prioritize and complete tasks without follow-up by the supervisor, while also filling in gaps as needed to ensure the responsiveness of the team. The Country Representative is a strategic thinker, articulates innovative ideas, presents solutions, and is a positive role model for colleagues both in and outside of OTI. Under the direct supervision of the Washington-based CPS/OTI West and Central Africa Regional Team Leader or his/her designee, the Country Representative will perform the following duties: Manage a high-profile program in a dynamic environment and provide programmatic, operational, and strategic guidance to OTI�s implementing partners (contractors and/or grantees) ensuring that activities are contributing to OTI�s program objectives and are within the partner�s scope; Conceptualize and design program strategies and objectives in close coordination with OTI staff, U.S. Embassy, Host Country government, and local civil society officials based on political analysis and U.S. Government policy; Articulate program strategy, as well as communicate and coordinate OTI�s in-country activities between OTI and its implementing partners, USAID, and other donor organizations; prepare and disseminate programmatic, financial and periodic reports to the USAID Mission, OTI/Washington and other organizations as appropriate; Communicate and coordinate OTI�s in-country activities between OTI and its implementing partners, USAID, the U.S. Embassy and other donor organizations; �� Monitor local and regional political developments and regularly brief OTI and partner staff on their potential programmatic impact; Analyze and report on current political developments, security concerns, and other pertinent information required to achieve OTI�s program objectives; Provide recommendations to the Washington-based Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and/or the Regional Team Leader on implementing partner performance, the appropriateness of the partner�s scope to OTI�s country objectives, partner�s budgets, and modifications thereto; Provide USAID concurrence on all implementing partner activities, including final approval of grantees for grants under contract, in accordance with the USAID�s Automated Directives System (ADS); Ensure the use of OTI systems and procedures to maintain effective and efficient management of funds, programming, as well as monitoring and evaluation; Ensure that OTI�s programs and activities are monitored and evaluated and that lessons learned are applied to ongoing or future activities; Prepare and maintain OTI program budgets for field operations; Serve as OTI�s primary liaison with USAID Mission personnel, U.S. Embassy staff, Host-Country Government Officials, UN Organizations, Indigenous and International Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and other pertinent organizations.� Develop and maintain collaborative relationships to ensure close coordination at the field level, identify the widest range of potential local partners and opportunities, and achieve maximum synergy with other programs; Prepare operational plans in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy, including logistics and property use guidelines, closeout and hand-over, security procedures, and contingency and evacuation plans; Ensure that all OTI and partner field staff adhere to in-country security guidelines set by the U.S. Embassy Regional Security Officer and other organizations such as the United Nations or host government; and, Design and review staffing plans to meet overall program objectives as well as recruit, train, supervise, and evaluate the performance of in-country OTI staff. SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP: The Country Representative will report to OTI�s Washington-based Team Leader for the West and Central Africa Regional Team or his/her designee. The Country Representative is expected to take initiative, act independently, and manage his/her tasks with minimal supervision. Though this is a senior field-based position, the incumbent is expected to actively and proactively collaborate with OTI/Washington leadership, and to fully utilize, embrace, and become an expert on OTI systems and processes. Failure to adequately perform the scope of work above and/or failure to take direction from the supervisor may result in corrective actions, including denial of step or grade increases, extension of contract probationary periods, performance improvement plans, and/or termination for the convenience of USAID/OTI. SUPERVISORY CONTROLS: The supervisor will provide administrative directions in terms of broadly defined missions or functions. The employee will independently plan, design and carry out programs, projects, studies or other work assignments. The employee�s work will be considered technically authoritative and normally accepted without significant change, and will be reviewed in terms of fulfillment of program objectives, influence on the overall program, or contribution to the advancement of the objective. 12.
