Job Description:
World Vision is seeking a Senior Technical Advisor, Global Health Security, for the anticipated USAID-funded Global Health Social and Behavior Change (GH-SBC) Activity. The five-year, multi-country GH-SBC Activity seeks to implement theory-informed, evidence-based, locally led social and behavior change (SBC) programming. Key focus areas include family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH); malaria; and maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), with attention to emerging pandemic threats and other infectious diseases.
While focused primarily on health, the project may address SBC needs in other sectors, with particular attention to areas of potential complementarity such as environmental conservation, agriculture, food security, and nutrition. Final target geographies will be selected after award; however, countries may include Angola, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, DR, DRC, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Indonesia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, Vietnam, Zambia, and/or Zimbabwe. This is a global, multi-country subaward.
The Senior Technical Advisor, Global Health Security, is responsible for providing overall strategic technical leadership and oversight in the implementation of social behavior change (SBC) strategies and activities to prevent; detect; and respond to COVID-19, Ebola, Zika and other emerging infectious disease threats. This role will deliver technical assistance to local organizations and stakeholders to implement strategies for risk communication and community engagement (RCCE), including activities to mitigate risk, encourage appropriate treatment seeking behavior, promote interactive communication channels, and improve community preparedness.
S/he will possess deep, applied experience in SBC, infection prevention and control, global health security, emergency preparedness and response, and strengthening the capacity of local partners. S/he must also have a demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively and efficiently with host country agencies, including central and local governments, development partners, civil society, and community-based organizations.
Recruitment is contingent upon successful award of the project. Local candidates residing in the program’s priority countries are encouraged to apply. Selection of the final applicant is subject to USAID approval. The estimated program start date is September 2024.
