12. STATEMENT OF DUTIES/POSITION DESCRIPTION
Background/Introduction
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the largest commitment ever by a nation towards an international health initiative for a single disease. PEPFAR is a multifaceted approach to combating HIV/AIDS in more than 100 countries around the world. Kenya is currently the largest recipient of PEPFAR funding with an FY 2021 budget of approximately $383 million to support a comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and care program.
In Kenya, a consortium of United States Government (USG) agencies is charged with coordinating and managing PEPFAR under the leadership of the U.S. Ambassador. These agencies include the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Peace Corps, the Department of State (DOS), the
1 U.S. resident alien means a non-U.S. citizen lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.
mailto:pbii@usaid.gov
Department of Defense (DOD), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The goal is to develop and implement one coherent USG HIV program in Kenya combining the comparative strengths and capabilities of all the government agencies. The Chief of Mission (COM) provides overall guidance to the interagency team and the PEPFAR Coordination Office (PCO) facilitates harmonization among the various activities by the USG agencies, host government, and other HIV donors in Kenya.
The PCO is responsible for coordinating the USG agencies' planning, overall management, budgeting, and reporting processes for PEPFAR. The PCO ensures that all country program decisions abide by the
Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (S/GAC) policy and requirements and with congressionally mandated budgetary earmarks.
The PEPFAR Deputy Country Coordinator manages critical and time-sensitive communications and work products between and among the various USG agencies involved in PEPFAR. The Deputy Coordinator liaises routinely with S/GAC in the US State Department (particularly the Kenya Interagency Core
Support Team), with designated Embassy Nairobi counterparts, representatives of the USG PEPFAR
Interagency Team (PIAT) and senior Government of Kenya (GOK) officials. In the absence of the
Country
Coordinator, the Deputy Coordinator acts as the Country Coordinator.
Reporting directly to the Kenya Country Coordinator, the Deputy Coordinator is expected to be always current on national, development partner, and global coordination mechanisms related to HIV/AIDS in
Kenya, including the Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism; the Development Partners in
Health- Kenya (DPHK) donor group, the UN Joint Team, and others. The Deputy leads day-to-day operations of staff and provides strategic planning and assistance to the Country Coordinator.

Position Elements
Supervisory Controls: The PEPFAR Deputy Country Coordinator will work under the supervision of the
PEPFAR Country Coordinator who provides administrative direction, and may suggest approaches to consider, results expected, and reviews completed assignments. Assignments are made orally and in writing. Most assignments occur in the normal course of the work, but the incumbent is required to determine those that must be coordinated with the supervisor. Incumbent will seek advice and assistance as required. Performance evaluations are based primarily on accomplishments and compliance with policies and procedures.
Knowledge level required: The PEPFAR Deputy Country Coordinator has mastery of the overall
PEPFAR coordination process in-country, but operates within the inter-agency framework with regards to implementation (with implantation being the purview of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -
CDC, Department of Defense - DOD, and U.S. Agency for International Development - USAID).
Decision making: PEPFAR Deputy Country Coordinator operates under the general oversight of the
PEPFAR Coordinator and has discretion for decision making. While the position does not have overall funding authority (that authority is held only at the S/GAC level in State/Washington), the DPCO leads the process to define annual funding plans. Within the PEPFPAR Office, the position has authority over expenditures which occur as part of normal operations.
Guidelines: Available guidelines include PEPFAR Notices and guidance, the FAR and AIDAR, and other published and unpublished guidelines. Guidelines are often general in nature and not specific to the situation at hand, requiring considerable interpretation. Guidelines from different agencies and offices may be unclear and conflicting, requiring substantial judgment and interpretation.
Complexity: The duties of this position are complex and significantly varied and the incumbent, with high degree of judgment, will be required to provide guidance and assistance to a wide variety of senior-level professionals within Kenya, including GOK officials, and Mission personnel. Excellent, balanced perspective and analytical skills must be exercised in setting priorities. Substantial reliance will be placed on the incumbent to independently plan, prioritize, and carry out the specific activities and make critical decisions entailed in fulfilling major duties and responsibilities. The use of initiative, discretion and patience is expected from the incumbent in dealing with PIAT members as well as representatives from other USG Agencies to resolve problems for which there is often no clear or immediate solution. The incumbent will be expected to resolve problems that arise by determining the approaches to be taken and methodologies to be used and making independent judgments that can be defended as necessary. A high degree of judgment and ingenuity is required to interpret the intent of regulations and guidance and to develop appropriate guidelines for application.
Scope and Effect: The incumbent is an expert in "all things" PEPFAR - processes, reporting requirements, etc. The PEPFAR Deputy Country Coordinator also serves as a point of contact for other PEPFAR countries seeking similar information.
Level and Purpose of Contacts: The incumbent will be required to maintain solid working relationships with senior-level personnel, including USAID/Kenya and East Africa, CDC, Peace Corps, DOD and State
Department employees as well as GOK officials and bilateral and multi-lateral donor agencies, in order to function effectively. The incumbent will be required to work closely with S/GAC, PIAT, US Embassy in
Kenya. S/he will also be expected to maintain positive working relationships with other PEPFAR
Coordination Office counterparts to exchange ideas and best practices for PEPFAR management at the coordination level. The established method of communication/contact will be in person, by phone or through written communications. The purpose of contact will be: 1) to maintain open lines of communication that enhance USG interests in support of HIV/AIDS issues; 2) to maintain regular strategic communications regarding the timely management of activity functions and procedures; 3) to collect, obtain, and verify factual information for decision-making; and 4) to monitor and evaluate existing activities in HIV/AIDS on a regular basis. The purpose of contacts will range from the development of complex programs and documents with various partners to information-sharing and gathering. Consultations between the incumbent and all levels of contacts mentioned above will be conducted to explain and develop strategic project proposals and objectives, securing cooperation, resolving problems, obtaining, or furnishing information, and persuading USG staff and counterparts to take actions and accept recommendations.
Work Environment: Work is primarily performed in an office setting. If the employee travels, the work may additionally involve safety and/or security precautions, wearing of protective equipment, and exposure to severe weather conditions.
Travel Requirement: At least 15% of time.
