SENIOR MONITORING AND EVALUATION ADVISOR, PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE, USA Organisation: Public Health Institute / Office of Health Systems, Bureau for Global Health, United States Agency for International Development Position: Technical Advisor III: Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor Location: Washington, DC, USA Assignment: Two year fellowship Reference: GHFP II-P1-046 The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by developing and increasing the capacity of health professionals with tailored development opportunities. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels, and performance management and professional development activities aimed to enhance the technical and leadership skills of fellows. BACKGROUND: The Health Systems Office (HSO) leads a network of Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) colleagues throughout the Bureau for Global Health (GH) in the development and implementation of USAID’s agenda and strategy to promote effective, sustainable, country-owned health systems capable of promoting health, preventing disease, advancing reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health and nutrition; combating infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and neglected tropical diseases; and addressing emerging public health priorities. The HSO leads the Agency’s health systems research efforts including development of a research portfolio and of metrics and tools for measuring health systems improvements. It tracks and aligns USAID resources, funds and programs for HSS to this agenda. The HSO also works to build partnerships and synergies to support this agenda and strategy, including with other US Government (USG) agencies, host country governments, donors, the private sector, and civil society. The HSO is USAID’s hub for generating, capturing and sharing state-of-the-art knowledge on the factors that contribute to strengthening health systems, including: experiential knowledge, complex systems thinking, service delivery, community engagement and outreach, governance, finance, human resources, as well as medical products, vaccines, and related technologies such as information systems (including application of information and communications technology), and public-private partnerships. The HSO works with other offices in GH and with USAID missions, regional bureaus and partners to advance HSS knowledge and innovations and to promote country uptake. The HSO serves as the hub of USAID’s talent management in HSS. It works to grow and nurture technical expertise and intellectual capital in HSS within the Agency to build a cadre of USAID HSS specialists. The HSO ensures basic HSS knowledge among all health officers and among health systems practitioners and health-related institutions in developing countries. The HSO develops and facilitates recruitment, training, professional development, staff rotations and exchanges, and networking opportunities. INTRODUCTION: Within the HSO, the role of the Senior Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Advisor (the Advisor) is critical to the success of the Office.

The questions that the Advisor addresses include fundamental issues such as how HSS supports achievement of GHI health targets and how the HSO will know if/when it is successful. The Advisor is the M&E expert within the HSO, providing leadership and expertise on all aspects of Agency HSS M&E policies and practices. The Advisor leads the development of the HSO M&E framework and operational plan, including identification (or development, where needed) of indicators, targets, and methodologies for measuring, monitoring, and evaluating the implementation of the HSO strategy and its contributions to the achievement of Agency and GHI health targets.
