**Telework Eligible**: Yes, at least 3 days per week in-person reporting at Washington, DC office.

**Remote Eligible**: No.

**A. Summary Statement**:
The Public Health Institute (PHI) is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting health, well-being, and quality of life for people throughout California, across the nation and around the world. As one of the largest and most comprehensive public health organizations in the nation, we are at the forefront of research and innovations to improve the efficacy of public health statewide, nationally, and internationally.

The Global Health Training, Advisory and Support Contract (GHTASC) delivers effective global health programming to advance the mission of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Global Health (GH) through institutional support and workforce development services from junior, mid-level, senior and expert advisory and administrative professionals.

The Africa Bureau’s Office of Sustainable Development (AFR/SD) provides intellectual, technical, and strategic leadership to the bureau on sectoral policies, priorities, and budgets through analyses, strategy development, program design, technical assistance, advocacy, and information dissemination. It comprises four divisions: health; education; conflict, peacebuilding, and governance; and economic growth, agriculture, and trade. AFR/SD’s Health Division (where this position will sit) is dedicated to improving health outcomes across Africa and supporting our Missions to do so. Programming ~$13 million USD each year, the team focuses on: 1) strengthening, supporting, and elevating regional institutions and partnerships; 2) recognizing and leveraging multi-sectoral approaches responsive to key health and development challenges; and 3) identifying and communicating regional trends, challenges, and opportunities. The team, comprised of ~18 technical experts spanning COVID-19, HIV, TB, malaria, maternal and child health, family planning, health systems strengthening, and global health security
- builds relationships between AFR and other work units across the Agency and interagency, ensuring that AFR context is applied to global health policy, programming, and decision-making.

The Bureau for Africa’s Health Division routinely partners with the Bureau for Global Health’s Office of Infectious Diseases Emerging Threat Division to support regional, sub-regional, and country-level preparedness and outbreak response activities on the continent. When it comes to combating new, emerging, and re-emerging infectious diseases, USAID plays a unique role supporting preparedness, detection, and response by bringing together technical and programmatic expertise in global health and humanitarian assistance along with country and regional expertise to produce a comprehensive and holistic approach to global health security. The Emerging Threats Division’s Global Health Security (GHS) Program provides support for countries and regions to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics more effectively. The GHS program implements projects across countries in Africa to include advancing country capacities in the International Health Regulations through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), and provides a framework for international, multi-sectoral, intra-, and inter-agency collaboration and coordination. USAID supports GHS through a portfolio of activities implemented and coordinated by the Emerging Threats Division.

**B. **Position Summary**:
More specifically, the objective of this position is to provide coordination, partnership building, and programmatic support to promote successful implementation, monitoring, and reporting on GHS and new, emerging, and re-emerging infectious diseases across the African region. Successful completion of this objective will require intensive networking, collaboration, and coordination with a wide array of stakeholders including USAID missions in Africa, government partners, ministries, economic entities, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other implementing partners.
