Summary Statement:
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.
Credence and its partner, the Public Health Institute (PHI), are both employers for GHTASC, and are seeking a Senior Family Planning Technical Advisor, Fragile Settings under GHTASC. This position will be hired under Public Health Institute (PHI).
Position Summary:
The Bureau for Global Health serves as USAID's primary source of technical expertise, leadership, and donor coordination for the health sector, including HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (MNCHN), family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), and health systems strengthening and reform. GH is responsible for advancing field-relevant, state-of-the-art research and the transfer of new technologies and approaches to field programs. Through its staff, programs, and country teams, GH provides critical support to USAID missions and field programs in more than 70 countries.
Within GH, the Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) works to advance and support voluntary family planning and reproductive health programs worldwide to reduce unintended pregnancy and foster improved reproductive health behaviors. PRH undertakes activities and manages programs that advance and apply state-of-the-art technologies, expand access to quality services, promote healthy behavior, broaden contraceptive availability and choices, and strengthen policies and systems to address family planning and reproductive health needs. PRH provides strategic direction, global technical leadership, and support to field programs; ensures responsiveness to Congressional and Administration priorities, directives, and restrictions; and provides information on USAID's family planning and reproductive health programs.
The Service Delivery Improvement Division (SDI) is one of four divisions in PRH. SDI develops and applies innovative strategies across a range of public, private, and community sectors that improve the performance of individuals, organizations, and systems for the sustainable delivery of quality family planning and reproductive health services. SDI and the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and Nutrition Office collaborate on a number of projects with integrated approaches to expanding access to and use of quality MNCH/FP/RH services, such as postpartum family planning, postabortion care, and fistula prevention and repair, each of which includes skilled clinical care.
Increasingly, the countries PRH serves are affected by fragility and shocks and stresses which can have detrimental effects on access to and use of quality family planning and reproductive health services, including for underserved and marginalized populations, such as adolescents and youth. The Senior Family Planning Technical Advisor, Fragile Settings will primarily support the Service Delivery Improvement Division of Office of Population and Reproductive Health (PRH) as a PHI Institutional Support Contractor (ISC). In this role, the selected candidate will provide family planning expertise and technical assistance for SDI on best practices for implementing and advancing family planning and reproductive health programs in fragile settings and in leveraging FP/RH programs to support resilience activities in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. They will also support adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (AYSRH) programming and cross-sectoral collaboration and synergies, as well as collaborate with other U.S. government agencies, donors, and multilateral agencies.
