General Statement of the Purpose of the Contract

USAID/Uganda is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Personal Services Contractor (PSC) - Uganda PEPFAR Country Coordinator (PCC).

The PCC will serve as the primary point of contact in leading all activities related to PEPFAR in Uganda and playing a critical role in managing the planning, implementation, and reporting of program performance of inter-agency programs. The primary responsibilities include: facilitating communications between and among the various USG departments and agencies involved in PEPFAR implementation; liaising routinely with S/GAC in Washington, DC; managing communication between the PEPFAR team and the national entities; and leading coordination with efforts with Government of Uganda agencies, including the Uganda AIDS Control Program (and other programs in the Ministry of Health such as the National TB and Leprosy Program), Uganda AIDS Commission as well as with bilateral/multilateral donors, including Global Fund, World Bank, Department for International Development (DFID), Irish AID, Danish Cooperation, UNAIDS, and civil society organizations coordinated through their designated networks. The PCC also directs the operational tasks for PEPFAR management in Uganda, including development of annual Country Operational Plans (COP), reporting for quarterly, semi-annual, and annual performance cycles, preparing responses to congressional inquiries and local requests for information, and serves as the primary liaison for the Uganda USG PEPFAR Team with all external communications. In addition, s/he will provide advice and counsel to the COM and Deputy Chief of Mission, as mailto:gnakaddu@usaid.gov well as other agency leads, on all matters related to HIV in Uganda. The PCC will have authority to recommend final decisions to present to COM when consensus cannot be reached by the PEPFAR interagency teams.

Program Background: The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiative is the largest commitment ever by a nation toward an international health initiative for a single disease. Now in its 17th year, PEPFAR is a multifaceted approach to combating HIV in more than 100 countries around the world. The strategy places an intensified approach on 10 focus countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia that represent approximately half the world’s HIV infections. Uganda is one of several countries expected to reach epidemic control in 2020. Uganda is one of the largest of the original 15 focus countries in terms of funding. Under PEPFAR, Uganda is expected to receive over $400million in FY 2021 to support a comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and care program, leading to sustained epidemic control.

In Uganda, a consortium of United States government (USG) agencies is charged with coordinating and managing PEPFAR under the leadership of the U.S. Ambassador/Chief of Mission. These agencies include the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC), the U.S. Peace Corps, the Department of State (DOS), and the Department of Defense (DOD). The program implements one coherent USG HIV program in Uganda 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 Uganda and civil society. The PEPFAR program is part of the larger Inter Agency Health Team, chaired by the Deputy Chief of Mission

(DCM).

The PCC is responsible for coordinating the USG agencies’ planning, overall management, budgeting, and reporting processes for the USG HIV country program. The PCC ensures that all country program decisions abide by the U.S. Department of State Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (S/GAC) policy and requirements and is in line with all congressionally mandated budgetary earmarks.

The PCC performs a key role in the Uganda PEPFAR Program leading coordination for the five in-country USG agencies (USAID, HHS/CDC, DOS, DOD, and Peace Corps) and representing the PEPFAR program with the U.S. Embassy Front Office, senior Government of Uganda (GOU) officials, and civil society leaders. Though the PCC does not supervise the teams representing the USG agencies, s/he is held accountable for their ability to work together to prioritize actions, implement programs and achieve results and must manage accordingly.

In order to enhance comprehensive programming, PEPFAR is governed by three major groups within the U.S.

Embassy; Technical Working Groups (TWG), the Interagency Technical Team (ITT), and the Executive Council (EC). TWG groups and several ‘collaboratives’ fall under three main categories of Prevention, Care/Treatment, and Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) and all technical/topical areas fall in one of the groups. Technical areas within the TWGs include HIV prevention, key and priority populations, HIV counseling and testing (HCT), orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), HIV treatment, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), systems strengthening in six main areas: community systems, supply chain, laboratory systems, health information systems, human resources for health (HRH), and financing. The TWG groups are self-managed with PCC engagement and support as needed to ensure smooth functioning and rapid problem solving. These TWGs are led by co-chairs from different U.S. government agencies and meet regularly to drive agreements, policy and program adaptions, and to engage with the respective leader within Implementing Partners, the GOU, and civil society. Strategic Information is both part of HSS and has a standalone SI Team to work on both reporting and SI integration and sustainability issues.

The ITT is chaired by the PCC, comprises the TWG co-chairs and senior agency leadership. The ITT meets on a weekly basis and manages all PEPFAR programmatic, technical and policy functions on a day-to-day basis. The Executive Council is chaired by the Deputy Chief of Mission, comprises agency heads and the PCC serves as Secretariat. This monthly meeting addresses high-level management and policy issues.

The PCC directly manages four senior Uganda locally employed staff (LES), two Eligible Family Members (EFM), one U.S. direct hire (USDH) and one U.S. personal services contractor. S/he will be supervised programmatically by the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) in the U.S. Embassy in Uganda. The PCC shall take direction from both the Chief of Mission (COM) and the DCM, and work closely with all members of the PEPFAR Country Team.

Statement of Duties to be Performed

1. Lead communications with S/GAC and the COM, DCM, ITT, EC, and wider Country Team. Ensure horizontal information sharing to in-country agency leads. Direct the PEPFAR team’s response to important developments, activities, policy guidance from Washington and consultation agreements from senior GOU officials and other donors. Inform and advise the COM/DCM of substantial policy or program issues, new developments and successes, as well as constraints to achieving the program goals.

2. Coordinate the development of the annual COP, engaging with all members of the PEPFAR Country Team and other connected groups within the U.S. Embassy, consulting with a wide variety and number of stakeholders through in-person and virtual inputs, and an annual PEPFAR Stakeholders COP Retreat. The USG team also works closely with “Team Uganda” comprised of the participants attending the annual Regional Planning Meeting (RPM) that takes place Feb/March each year, and including the Minister of Health, PS Health, Minister of Finance, Global Fund Portfolio Manager, the Uganda World Health Organization Resident Director, and the Uganda UNAIDS Country Director as well as leaders from key civil society organizations. COP development and later implementation, involve continual communication, updating, and rapid course correction throughout the year.

3. Govern the implementation of a unified PEPFAR program that maximizes the comparative advantages and competencies of participating USG agencies, achieves maximum results related to the PEPFAR goals and GOU objectives for HIV/AIDS, and is optimally responsive to the needs of those at risk or infected with HIV. Work with technical teams and leadership to monitor, evaluate, and document progress continually and influence change, as needed.

4. Oversee the efforts for monitoring and reporting of program results and strategic exercises to evaluate program progress and success, which includes development and submission of the semi-annual and annual reports and regular reporting to the COM/DCM and S/GAC. Maintain a calendar of important benchmarks to ensure the program is on schedule.

5. Lead the Uganda PEPFAR Team’s response to key developments, action requests, and policy guidance from S/GAC in Washington.

6. Liaise with the GOU, major donors, USG implementing partners, civil society, and other relevant players, as necessary, to provide clear and consistent information on the PEPFAR program and to ensure that PEPFAR is complementary to national HIV/AIDS efforts. Ensure coordination and linkage of USG bilateral assistance with other bilateral donors, non-governmental organizations, and international multilateral organizations engaged to end HIV, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund). Collaborate and share information with multilateral partners, other donors, and S/GAC relevant to the success of broad efforts to mitigate the impact of the HIV epidemic in country. Liaise with these development partners, and with the Country Coordination Mechanism of the Global Fund, to ensure complementarities between the USG investments and other donors.

7. Convene and chair regular interagency meetings, quarterly “All PEPFAR” Stakeholder Meetings, quarterly check in meetings with civil society and GOU, and ensure dissemination of minutes and decisions.

8. Supervise PCO staff to manage the administrative and operational systems for all related business tasks.

9. Lead the planning for international visitors, including VIPs, Core Team members, Technical Working Group members, and management staff.

10. Develop strategies to manage and coordinate technical assistance with regard to joint program coordination, development, reporting, and implementation.

11. Provide input for the Public Affairs office to prepare and disseminate periodic internal and external updates and status reports on PEPFAR in Uganda. Work with the PEPFAR Communications Officer seconded to Public Affairs to ensure wide dissemination of PEPFAR Uganda information, reports, best practices, and health communication messages.

12. Support efforts of USG agencies to engage new, especially indigenous, partners and to build Uganda capacity to sustain and finance the results achieved under PEPFAR, to epidemic control and beyond.

Exercise of Judgment: A high degree of judgment will be required to provide guidance and assistance to a wide variety of high-level professionals within Uganda, including Senior GOU officials, bilateral and multilateral partners, and Mission personnel. Excellent, balanced judgment and analytical skills must be exercised in setting priorities. As a recognized expert and highly qualified professional, substantial reliance will be placed on the PCC 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 PCC in dealing with PCO members as well as representatives from other donor organizations to resolve problems for which there is often no clear or immediate solution. The PCC 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.

Authority to Make Commitments: The PCC has no independent authority to commit USG or USAID/Uganda funds on behalf of the U.S. government. However, the PCC retains the authority given to Activity Managers in USAID and may make administrative arrangements and determinations consistent with ADS guidance and Mission policy. The PCC must act and establish priorities based on available guidelines and professional judgment. Guidance should be sought when needed, and the supervisor informed of activity and project status.

Nature, Level, and Purpose of Contacts: The PCC will be required to maintain solid working relationships with high level personnel, including both GOU, development partners and civil society; as well as USAID, CDC, Peace Corps, DOD, and State Department employees to function effectively. The PCC will be required to work closely with S/GAC in Washington, POC, U.S. Embassy in Uganda, national governmental officials at the ministerial level (Permanent Secretaries and Ministers of Health), senior level (Directors of Departments within the Ministries of Health and other governmental agencies), and with non-governmental officials, such as directors of community, faith-based, and non-governmental organizations, private sector representatives, bilateral and multilateral donor institutions, and other local and international groups. The established method of communication/contact will be in person, by phone, or through written communications.

The purpose of contact will be: 1) to represent the USG PEPFAR program; 2) to maintain open lines of communication that enhance USG interests in support of HIV/AIDS issues; 3) to maintain regular strategic communications regarding the timely management of activity functions and procedures; 4) to collect, obtain, and verify factual information for decision-making; and 5) 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 PCC 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.

Support Items: The PCC will be provided with the support services, equipment, and supplies necessary to perform the work.
