STATEMENT OF WORK

1. RECOMMENDED POSITION TITLE: Health Senior Manager and Technical Advisor

2. ORGANIZATIONAL LOCATION OF POSITION: USAID/Mali, Health Team

3. POSITION TITLE/GRADE OF DIRECT SUPERVISOR: Health Office Director or designee

4. INTRODUCTION & COUNTRY BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

USAID/Mali's comprehensive five-year (2014-2018) health sector program aims to assist the Government of Mali (GOM) Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve health outcomes by providing support to strengthen three critical health sector components: delivery of High Impact Health Services (HIHS) at community level, Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) and Health Systems Strengthening. The USAID/Mali Health Office portfolio currently includes several USAID/Washington Global Health Bureau field support activities as well as six activities under (current or imminent) bilateral awards. Total funding for Mali health activities is approximately $69 million annually and represents USAID/Mali's largest sector portfolio. USAID's health sector development objective is: "Increased Use of High Impact Health Services and Healthy Behaviors" that will contribute to the USAID Global Health vision of Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Death (EPCMD). Services supported under the health sector program cover family planning and reproductive health , maternal and child health, malaria, water and sanitation, nutrition, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other infectious diseases including Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).

The Health Office staffing pattern includes up to twenty professional and support team members. There are up to two U.S. Direct Hire (USDH) Health Officers on the USAID/Mali Health Team. This USPSC position will report to the Office Deputy Director but may be called upon to assume various senior leadership roles as the needs arise.

COUNTRY AND PROGRAM BACKGROUND

Mali is a low-income country in the Sahel in West Africa. Mali has an estimated population of 14.5 million (2009 census), most of which is predominantly rural. More than 90% of the population lives in the southern part of the country as most of its land mass is in the Sahara desert. Over one million people live in the capital city, Bamako. Half of Mali's population is under the age of 15.and two thirds are younger than 25 years of age. Mali’s health care system is weak and underfinanced contributing to some of the lowest health indicators in the world. Despite these challenges there has been considerable progress and USAID, as the lead bilateral donor, has supported improvements in health status. Under-five mortality dropped from 191 per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 95/1000 live births in 2013. HIV prevalence in the general population is 1.2% (2012), down from 1.7% in 2001, but is much higher among most at-risk key populations (KPs), particularly sex workers and men who have sex with men (MSM). The total fertility rate (TFR) is six live births per women while modern method contraceptive prevalence is extremely low at below 10%. Half of children (51%) are fully vaccinated by age one. Endemic malaria threatens the entire population and is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, mostly affecting pregnant women and children under five who suffer, on average, two episodes per year. The malaria prevention and control programs supported by the interagency President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) work with the National Malaria Control Program has contributed to a drop in the malaria prevalence rate from 58% to 36% due in part to the nationwide use of bed-nets and other effective malaria prevention and control measures.

Due to the conflict in Northern Mali where much of the physical health infrastructure has been destroyed and few external partners can operate, health indicators have lagged behind the rest of the country. Mali’s response to the Ebola epidemic has highlighted the need to strengthen Mali’s response capacity to current and future infectious disease threats. Mali is a focus country for USAID’s Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and Ending Preventable maternal and child deaths (EPMNCD) and is a recipient of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Population and Reproductive Health funds.

The goal of USAID/Mali’s health programs are to invest in sustained improvements in health by increasing the delivery of high-impact health services and healthy behaviors. Services and behavior changes and social marketing program are supported at the regional health department level at hospitals, health centers and community health sites and at pharmacies and retail outlets.
