- Description
- USAID has worked with Ecuador since 1961 to advance the country�s economic and social development, preserve its environment, respond to natural disasters, and enrich the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ecuadorians. Although USAID closed its Mission in Quito in September 2014, it continued to support work to improve the lives of the Ecuadorian people. USAID re-opened an Office in Quito in 2020, expanding its bilateral and regional programs in the country to demonstrate its commitment to assisting Ecuador on its journey to self-reliance. USAID�s involvement is catalytic in supporting Ecuador�s self-reliance by building local capacity while expanding partnerships with domestic and international stakeholders, such as the private sector, other donor countries, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), academia, and historically marginalized stakeholders�including youth, women, Indigenous Peoples, LGBTQIA+, persons with disabilities, Montubios, and Afro-descendants. USAID�s development priorities in Ecuador address climate change, biodiversity conservation, democracy, rights and governance, energy transformation, economic reactivation, support to migrants and other vulnerable populations, and preparing and responding to humanitarian crises and disasters. The need to implement an effective communication strategy, to increase public awareness about the objectives, efforts, and achievements of USAID in Ecuador, is paramount. This position necessitates frequent engagement with all USAID partners operating in Ecuador - inclusive of bilateral, regional, and Washington-based mechanisms accounting for over $60 million in programming per year. The incumbent serves as the primary POC between USAID implementing partners (IPs), the Embassy Public Affairs Section (PAS), and civil society, and Government of Ecuador (GOE) counterparts engaged in our programs.
