SOCIAL SECTORS GOVERNANCE SPECIALIST
DEMOCRACY FELLOWSHIP – GOVERNANCE DIVISION
WASHINGTON, DC
In an effort to improve and strengthen linkages within global social services and
governance programs, World Learning’s Democracy Fellows Program (DFP), funded by
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Bureau for
Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA), in partnership with the
Bureau for Global Health (GH) and the Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture and
Trade (EGAT) will recruit a Social Services Governance Fellow. The Fellow will
provide the Office of Democracy and Governance (DG) with programmatic and
technical expertise focused on identifying, developing and strengthening governance
and social services linkages in USAID programs. Purpose: Experience around the world
has demonstrated that effective governance is important to the ability of government
social service systems to provide essential services and effective policies. Governance
of social service systems such as health and education concerns the institutions and
linkages that affect the interactions among citizens/service users, government officials
and health and education service providers. There is general agreement that the
effective management and governance of health or education systems is characterized
by responsiveness and accountability; an open and transparent policy process;
participatory engagement of citizens; and operational capacity of government to plan,
manage, monitor and regulate policy and service delivery. Yet, linkages between
democracy and governance programs and social services governance programs have
been neglected in USAID’s practice. Therefore, it is important for USAID to develop
and build its knowledge and expertise around how to effectively incorporate and
support governance and social services linkages within USAID programs. In the near
future, USAID is expected to adopt implementation reforms that could significantly
change how USAID delivers assistance. These reforms could result in USAID
increasing its utilization of partner country systems and institutions to implement
assistance programs. This will require USAID to work much more directly with
government ministries, departments, agencies and representative bodies to build the
capacity of those institutions to effectively plan, implement, manage and monitor
government programs and services. This will place an additional emphasis on
governance programs directed at building the institutions of the state including, but not
limited to, policy reform and implementation; civil service reform and capacity
building; public financial management; public administration and management;
program implementation; accounting and auditing; procurement; and program
monitoring and evaluation. This new approach will require that governance strategies
and programs be integrated much more directly into social service sector programs.
Improving the capacity and ability of partner countries to deliver essential public social
services in areas such as health and education will be a key component to long-term
sustainable development. The Fellow will provide guidance in the development,
implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of innovative approaches that
incorporate a governance perspective into social services focused programs with an
emphasis on social services systems strengthening. S/he will act as the main point of
contact (lead DCHA/DG technical resource) on all issues relating to governance and
social services programs and activities. This position will be administratively assigned
to DCHA, but will work directly and cooperatively with the Global Health Bureau
(specifically the Health Systems Division, Office of Health, Infectious Disease and
Nutrition (GH/HIDN/HS)), EGAT/ED), and other offices in the DCHA Bureau. Duties
and Responsibilities: It is envisioned that the incumbent will: Provide guidance,
leadership, and training in the development, implementation, evaluation, and
dissemination of evidence-based approaches that incorporate a governance perspective
into social services programs and provide similar guidance and leadership with respect
to incorporating good social services governance practices into USAID democracy and
governance programs, where relevant. It is anticipated that a major emphasis of the
position will be focused on identifying, developing and strengthen these evidence-
based, cross-cutting approaches to governance improvement. Work as an active
member of the USAID Governance Team, in cooperation with GH/HIDN/HS and
EGAT/ED, as well with other relevant working groups in the Agency. Establish and
maintain cooperative relationships and liaison with relevant USAID/W bureaus and
offices, with USAID Field Missions, with relevant USG agencies (e.g. OGAC, State,
HHS), and with the broader development community (e.g. WHO, PAHO, UNDP, the
World Bank), as required. In full coordination with GH/HIDN/HS and EGAT/ED,
where and when evidence is convincing, prepare relevant policy documents, handbooks,
guidance, and other publications for Agency and/or USG consideration. Participate in,
prepare papers for, and make presentations at internal and external professional
meetings and policy forums addressing social sectors governance issues. Contribute to
preparation of procurement plans, scopes of work, budgets, program reviews and other
documents related to relevant USAID program activities, as consistent with fellowship
guidelines and requirements. Priority governance focus areas for this work will include
transparent policy planning and budgeting; effective, transparent and accountable
financial management; public administration and management; program
implementation and monitoring; and information creation, management and use in
social sectors service systems. Deliverables: Develop new, or refine existing, USAID
assessment tools focusing on strengthening governance linkages to social sector
strategies and programs. Participate in two cross-sectoral country assessments intended
to help inform the design of strategies, programs, and activities that focus on
strengthening the governance of host-country social sector systems. Develop a
handbook or other document which provides education, technical leadership, guidance,
best practices and other relevant information on how to develop strategies, programs
and activities that more closely links governance interventions with the strengthening of
host-country social sector systems. Supervision and Guidance: The incumbent will
serve as a member of both the DCHA/DG Governance Division and the GH working
group on Health Systems Strengthening. The incumbent will also participate in relevant
working groups in other parts of the Agency as relevant. S/he will be supervised by the
DCHA/DG Governance Division Chief. The incumbent is expected to exercise the
highest degree of individual initiative, resourcefulness, responsibility, and authority
consonant with the overall policy and procedural framework of USAID.
QUALIFICATIONS and Skills: US citizenship is required. A doctoral degree in a
relevant social, policy or administrative science; international development; or a related
field is desired. A minimum of 3 years experience in international development
programs, including experience in designing, implementing and/or evaluating

the need to continually refine its assessment methodologies and improve its indicators
to report on results in the field of democracy promotion. Work has begun in the Office

and assessment methodologies that will improve USAID’s ability to compare results
cross-nationally and over time. The Governance Division wishes to bring on board a
Democracy Fellow to coordinate its Research Agenda, the governance component of
the new Evaluating Democracy and Governance Effectively (EDGE) initiative, and to
be the Division’s main liaison with the Strategies Division, which leads the Office-wide
effort to improve evaluation and measure impact. As such, the Fellow will play an

USAID colleagues to design new theory-driven governance projects and appropriate
impact evaluation systems in the five sub-sectors of USAID governance activities:
legislative functions and processes, public sector executive functions, local government
and decentralization, anticorruption reforms, and governance of the security sector.

USAID governance programs cross nationally. Assist in the development of qualitative
and/or quantitative theory-based measures of achievement for governance programs.
