1. BACKGROUND
Overview of the Program and Role of the Position:
Health is USAID’s largest and most expansive portfolio (over $245 million per year) which aims to improve health outcomes in country through support of the Government of Mozambique’s (GRM) Health Sector Strategic Plan which seeks to improve access to and utilization of quality health services through a strengthened national health system.
USAID is part of a unified and effective interagency team—including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Departments of State (DOS) and Defense (DOD), and Peace Corps—which aims to fulfill two overarching health goals in Mozambique: to control the HIV/AIDS epidemic and prevent child and maternal deaths.
To accomplish these goals, USAID’s Health Office plans, implements, and monitors activities that include: HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, family planning, maternal and child health, nutrition, and water/sanitation/hygiene. The Health Office, with a total of 62 staff, is comprised of four divisions whose activities are oriented around: HIV/AIDS and infectious disease; preventing child and maternal deaths; strengthening health systems and commodities security; and providing efficient and effective operations within the office.
Solicitation USPSC Solicitation No.:72065619R00006
For HIV & AIDS, USAID is a leading implementer of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in harmony with CDC, DOD, Peace Corps, and the PEPFAR Coordination Office. The goal of the United States Government (USG) for PEPFAR in Mozambique is to control the HIV epidemic via rapid adoption and application of evidence-based policies and interventions to drive progress and save lives, implemented through a partnership between the USG and the GRM that best supports host country leadership, ownership, and sustainability. PEPFAR achieves this goal by working with the National HIV & AIDS Program, the National AIDS Council (Conselho Nacional de Combate ao HIV e SIDA, or CNCS), the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), UNAIDS, civil society, and the private sector to target high impact interventions for populations at greatest risk in areas of greatest HIV prevalence.
PEFPAR support is focused on providing technical assistance, training, mentoring, and supportive supervision together with essential commodities and supply chain support to ensure the National HIV/AIDS Program can test, treat, and suppress viral load for Mozambicans living with HIV and prevent new infections to effectively achieve an AIDS-Free generation by 2030.
