- Description
- The responsibilities of the Democracy Rights and Governance (DRG) Office will continue to evolve and expand over ���the coming months and years, as it shifts towards new program design in conflict, stabilization, and rights programming, while managing accountability programming to support the objectives outlined in the 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy. Starting in 2023, the DRG office has expanded its budget threefold, and currently oversees six mechanisms valued at $51 million. The Office is also coordinating and leading USAID/Ghana�s contributions to the conflict prevention and stabilization objectives of the Global Fragility Act and the SPCPS-CWA, with new targeted social cohesion and conflict prevention programming. In order to effectively manage DRG�s complex and expanding programming, design and award further new programming in support of the SPCPS-CWA and respond to the potential gap upon OTI�s eventual departure, the Senior DRG Advisor is critically needed. The Senior DRG Advisor will provide much needed support to the DRG Office to support the development and launch of priority DRG programming to prevent conflict and bolster social cohesion, strengthen public financial management and accountability for local government services, support peaceful and credible elections, and support the expansion into new programmatic areas such as promoting respect for human rights. The Senior Democracy, Rights, and Governance (DRG) Advisor supports the DRG Office Director and staff in designing and managing a wide range of DRG programming focused on Accountability, Conflict Prevention, and Human Rights programming. The DRG Senior Advisor serves as a principal advisor and as needed, the alter ego of the DRG Office Director in all aspects of program design, management, and evaluation of the DRG portfolio and administrative oversight to the DRG Office. The DRG Senior Advisor supports the programmatic, administrative, and financial aspects of the DRG portfolio to ensure that Mission and project objectives are being effectively met within USAID guidelines and regulations. The DRG Senior Advisor may also provide advice on DRG development issues to the Embassy's Political Section and other members of the USG country team in consultation with the DRG Office Director. Particularly in light of the sensitive nature of work in democracy promotion, the DRG Senior Advisor is required to exercise excellent judgment in providing expert advice and in planning and carrying out tasks, including the specific approaches to be taken, the resolution of problems and conflicts, and the meeting of deadlines. The DRG Senior Advisor may be required to work with minimal supervision and in collaboration with other professional staff inside and outside of the Embassy.
