S/he will incorporate the Agency’s core values in all aspects of his/her work: passion for mission;excellence; integrity; respect; empowerment; inclusion; and commitment to learning.
The Health Office is organized into four functional teams that include: Facility-Based Services; Community-Based Services; Health System Strengthening; and Programs, Analysis and Operations. As the largest portfolio for USAID/Tanzania, it includes a complex mix of technical areas, including HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, MNCH, and FP/RH. The SFPA position will be located in the Health Promotion and Prevention Unit of the Community-Based Services Team. The SFPA will work closely with the Senior FP specialist and the FP/HIV integration specialist on the Facility-based services team on FP/RH programming and integration with other programs.
The SFPA will work with his/her FP/RH counterparts to provide scientific, technical, and programmatic leadership for activities related to the implementation of USAID’s FP/RH portfolio in Tanzania. S/he will develop strategies and programs to achieve the FP/RH goals of USAID/Tanzania, mentor and coach Health Office and other staff in FP/RH, manage certain FP/RH awards, coordinate with other bilateral and multilateral donors working in FP/RH, support Tanzania’s FP2020 Initiative, and monitor program implementation in the field. The SFPA will collaborate closely and interface with senior staff of the MOHCDGEC and PO-RALG, other GOT entities, national and international academic institutions, USG agencies in Tanzania, donors, and implementing partners in matters relating to FP/RH.
