12. STATEMENT OF DUTIES:

A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA) manages regional initiatives in Asia and assists neighboring countries in developing high-impact programs and strengthening human capacity. RDMA’s Office of Public Health (OPH) has the responsibility for designing, managing, and overseeing infectious disease programs such as Presidential Initiatives on Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and also programs on avian influenza, other public health threats and emerging infections throughout the Mekong Region and other parts of Asia and the Pacific. The primary focus for OPH is the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) - Burma, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

Through RDMA’s assistance, innovative technical public health models and approaches are developed, documented and evaluated for replication by governments and other donors.

RDMA staff and partners work especially closely with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM – the Global Fund) to leverage resources to scale up the models and ensure quality assurance and containment strategies. Particular attention is given to cross border cooperation on surveillance, strengthening health systems and drug quality improvement. In addition, RDMA provides technical assistance to strengthen national and regional institutions and networks such as ASEAN and to enhance the capacity of member country governments and civil society, fostering increased political will and commitment to limit the spread of infectious diseases.

The Asia-Pacific region is home to approximately 60% of the world’s population and bears a heavy disease burden of malaria, dengue fever, emerging animal-to-human diseases, and HIV/AIDS. Drug resistance is of growing concern in part due to the amount of low-quality and counterfeit drugs both produced and distributed in the region. Of particular concern is the spread of drug-resistant malaria within the Mekong region particularly on the border areas between China, Burma, Thailand and Cambodia indicating inefficacy of artemisinin – currently, the preferred drug of choice around the world.

Launched in 2005, U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), led by USAID and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aims to eradicate malaria by supporting prevention and treatment measures such as Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs), Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs), and Intermittent Preventive Treatment for Pregnant Women (IPTp). PMI’s 2021–2026 strategy, "End Malaria Faster," targets a 33% reduction in malaria mortality and a 40% reduction in morbidity from 2015 levels, with a focus on eliminating malaria in partner countries. PMI supports 24 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and three in Southeast Asia, working towards saving lives, reducing health inequities, and enhancing disease surveillance. Thailand and Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) began their collaboration with the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) in FY 2011.

In Thailand, malaria cases have decreased significantly since 2011, with over a 95% drop in Plasmodium falciparum cases. However, recent increases, especially along the Thai-Burma border, threaten the goal of eliminating malaria in the near future in Thailand. A renewed focus on addressing these outbreaks and preventing the re-establishment of malaria in previously cleared areas is a critical priority. Lao PDR has also reduced malaria cases by 75% in recent years and aims to eliminate malaria by 2030.

Through the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) RDMA/OPH implementing partners to contain and eventually eliminate drug resistant malaria in the sub-region. A significant part of the program involves the use of strategic information, including monitoring drug quality and resistance and creating a common monitoring and evaluation framework to track the disease and containment efforts across the region. OPH’s programs assist community mobilization for containment and elimination, and facilitate transnational collaboration among Greater Mekong sub-region (GMS) countries. Program activities include enabling appropriate practices and behaviors for prevention of drug-resistant malaria including compliance with treatment.

The current solicitation calls for a senior expert on malaria prevention and control for the Mission to provide technical, management, and policy advisory services to RDMA and to USAID Missions in the region. The incumbent will serve as the senior advisor on trends and developments around malaria to RDMA and other USAID Missions and U.S. Embassies in the region and assist with identifying opportunities for collaboration with host governments, civil society, the private sector and other donors. As and when required, the expert would also be called upon to provide technical oversight on other RDMA infectious and vector borne disease programs such as dengue and other public health threats.

B. MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

BASIC FUNCTIONS

As the Senior Regional Malaria Advisor, they will oversee the planning, implementation, and monitoring of USAID's malaria program activities in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).
