USPSC Human Rights Advisor

The primary focus of the Human Rights Advisor will be to provide technical support to USAID Missions on the above-mentioned areas (countering restrictions to civil and political rights, expanding access to justice, addressing threats to physical security, and applying rights-based approaches). This technical assistance to Missions will be provided remotely from Washington or via short-term temporary duty (TDY) travel. The Advisor will provide that support directly via consultation (e.g. responding to Mission requests for assistance with assessments, designs, identification of best practices, training, etc.) or indirectly through the development and maintenance of field support resources such as the supplemental funds that Missions can access or pre-competed program mechanisms that help Missions establish respond to urgent needs. Under the direction of the HR Division Chief, and in partnership with other HR Division team members, the Advisor will work closely with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders, including other DRG colleagues and divisions, USAID staff in other bureaus and operating units, interagency colleagues, and implementing partners.
