In FY 2020, the overall USAID assistance to Ethiopia totaled $2 billion, with the Health Office managing approximately $205 million by 56 staff. �The Mission serves as one of the largest donors to the Health Supply Chain Sector in Ethiopia and has a strong partnership with other development entities like the Global Fund, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, and UN Agency counterparts.� In support of the Government of Ethiopia�s effort to accelerate progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC), USAID/Ethiopia is seeking a Senior Logistics and Commodities Adviser to support efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 and 3. � A central component of achieving UHC is to ensure access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines both in the public and private sectors, which requires an effective supply chain for the delivery of primary health care services, including drugs and commodities for voluntary use of family planning, TB and HIV/AIDS, �prevention, care and treatment, nutrition, malaria, and vaccines against global pandemics such as COVID-19 �and other vaccine preventable diseases. �In partnership with the Government of Ethiopia, the USAID/Ethiopia Health Office manages and receives funding for multiple presidential initiatives and priority health interventions, including the President�s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Presidential Malaria Initiative (PMI). �The Health Office also receives funding for maternal and child health and voluntary family planning activities, TB and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) programs. Since the beginning of the Global COVID-19 pandemic, the USAID/Ethiopia Mission has also received several allocations of supplemental funding to support emergency supply chain TA and commodity procurement to enhance the GoE�s response to Covid-19, and has recently received initial funding for support to the roll out of COVID-19 vaccines. Availability and access to priority health commodities are integral to achieving respective program results. 2.�� �Statement of Duties to be Performed This is a critical time for the health sector in Ethiopia. �The Ministry of Health (MOH) just completed and launched its second five year Health Sector Transformation Plan (HSTP-II) in alignment with the SDGs and UHC. �The newly developed HSTP-II has highlighted critical challenges in supply chain that need to be addressed in order to meet the Ministry�s HSTPII target for 2024. In addition, incepting from the HSTP I & II, the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Supply Agency (EPSA) also completed a 10-year Pharmaceutical Supply chain Transformation Plan (PSTP II) and their I-Supply Program, that specifies the strategic directions and ultimate goal of the EPSA managed pharmaceutical supply system in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Food and Drug Agency (EFDA) has similarly developed their own sub-sector strategy, HRSTP-II, for the regulatory sector,� In response, the Health Office requires a highly specialized supply chain technical expert with strong diplomacy skills to carry out a full range of technical, consultative, advisory, and strategic planning responsibilities, including maintaining strong relationships with senior Government of Ethiopia officials, private providers and development agencies.� The Senior Logistics and Commodities Advisor (SLCA) will provide technical and intellectual leadership in all facets of supply chain management.

The successful incumbent should be experienced with program-supply interactions and interdependencies as well as program supply risk mitigation strategies to ensure the Supply Chain activities are adequately addressing program-specific needs in addition to broader supply chain system strengthening needs. The SLCA will be expected to support the analysis and presentation of program supply chain data to the USAID Health Office and PEPFAR interagency teams and identify mitigating interventions.� As a member of numerous Interagency Technical Working Groups and the Senior Interagency Team, the SLCA will provide technical leadership to the interagency PEPFAR team on HIV program commodity supply chain systems as it applies to HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, Treatment, PMTCT, Lab and Health Systems Strengthening efforts.

The SLCA will also supervise a team of two FSN experts and will mentor other staff members who are responsible for overseeing USG-funded logistics and commodities programs. �This position plays a leading role in thought leadership and strategic oversight of USG supported public and private supply chains and therefore deals at the highest levels in terms of overall program results.� The candidate is expected to be an internationally recognized expert, ideally with minimum of eight to ten years of experience providing technical leadership on Logistics and Commodity management for health programs in Africa.
