POSITION DESCRIPTION

1. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:

The Government of Mali (GOM) demonstrates a strong commitment to democracy, political tolerance, human rights, economic development and responsible international engagement. However, institutions in Mali are still fragile and the country remains at the bottom of the human Development Index, primarily due to a lack of access to quality health care and education services. In addition, there are significant security challenges in the North of the country. USG assistance to Mali focuses on the following key goals: strengthening and consolidating Mali's institutions; helping Mali promote rapid, sustainable economic growth; addressing key health threats; supporting educational development; and ensuring Mali's continued cooperation in combating extremism through its participation in the Trans-Sahara Counter-Terrorism Partnership (TSCTP). In the democracy and governance sector, USG assistance aims to help consolidate Mali's decentralization process by fostering transparency and accountability, promoting peace and stability in the northern regions, and reinforcing local development by strengthening the capacity of civil society. In the health sector, USG assistance focuses on increasing maternal and child health, preventing malaria and expanding access to family planning and reproductive health.

Both the current and the projected development assistance program of USAID/Mali is one of the largest in sub-Saharan Africa. The USAID/Mali FY 2010 Operating Year Budget (OYB) is $125 million and is projected to grow to $200 million next year. The mission's Operating Budget and staff size, currently at $3.7 million/year and 64 employees, respectively, are also projected to grow.

The Economic Growth strategy for USAID/Mali focuses on reducing poverty and increasing incomes thorough an integrated set of interventions: increasing agricultural productivity by incorporating improved agricultural technologies, adding value to agricultural goods, and developing markets - local, regional, and international. All activities are designed to help strengthen environmental stewardship.

The current Economic Growth assistance strategy (which began in September 2007) includes one primary contract, two secondary cooperative agreements, and five additional smaller grants. All of these mechanisms are designed to work in collaboration with one another, with other contracts and grants at USAID/Mali and to leverage and enhance other donor, private sector, non profit work leading to economic growth and poverty reduction for Mali.

USAID/Mali has been implementing its ten year "High Impact Health Services" (HIHS) program to increase the use of and integrated package of effective services proven to decrease child and maternal morbidity and mortality. The main focus of this strategy is to increase access, availability and quality of key health services in Mali and to promote adherence to positive health behaviors in Malian households that improve child survival and maternal health.

The HIHS program aims to increase access to and use of key health services in six technical areas: family planning /maternal health, malaria prevention/control, HIV/AIDS prevention/counseling and testing, nutrition, vaccination and control of diarrheal disease.

The HIHS program also expands access to family planning/reproductive health services to women and men, increases the use of Ante-Natal Care and deliveries with a skilled birth attendant; expands malaria prevention and treatment, expands access to HIV/AIDS prevention and testing services particularly among high risk populations, reduces vitamin A and iron deficiency among children and women of reproductive age and prevents and treats diarrheal disease among children.

The USAID/Mali Education program objective is to support the Government of Mali's ten-year reform plan (PRODEC) to improve the quality of basic education.

The program includes technical assistance and training to: provide pre-service and in-service teacher training for teachers in Grades 1-6; develop an improved national curriculum; mobilize communities to manage and advocate more effectively for public, community, and Islamic schools; and train decision-makers at decentralized levels of the Ministry of Education to link resource and budgetary allocations to desired results.

The USAID/Mali Governance and Communications program objective is to empower Malians to play an important role in a decentralized system of democratic governance at the local level.

The program works with all key actors-the state, civil society and the private sector-in a partnership to find solutions to local development issues. The program promotes the participation of various groups in the democratic process, and creates viable links among them. It also provides local communities with the skills to administer their own financial systems; develops policies that support the success of decentralized government; and increase women's role in decision making.

The program also includes activities to make it easier for Malians to get access to information that will enable them to improve the quality of their lives. This is done by supporting Mali's thriving community FM radio sector and community telecenters.

These technologies are used to disseminate development-related messages, and programming to prevent and mitigate conflict.

The Governance and Communications program produces multi-media content that will directly benefit students, teachers, entrepreneurs, farmers, families, health workers and government employees (especially those outside of the capital city). The program also provides community selected radio stations with Internet access, thereby making information from the worldwide web available to the vast listening audience in Mali.
