*IMMUNIZATION TECHNICAL ADVISOR
WASHINGTON, DC
The Global Health Fellows Program II is seeking a Technical Advisor Level III: Immunization Technical
Advisor (GHFP II-P1-005) in Washington, DC. Assignment: Two year fellowship. 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 professional development
activities aimed to enhance the technical and leadership skills of global health
professionals. INTRODUCTION: The Maternal and Child Health Division (MCH) within
USAID's Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition (HIDN) works closely
with USAID Missions and Regional Bureaus as well as the private sector, other US
government agencies and departments, and international partners to: advocate for
investments in improving maternal and child health, with a focus on the major causes of
mortality and associated morbidity; introduce innovative cost-effective interventions to
address these issues; and leverage human, technical, financial resources to help
countries improve their capacity to deliver such lifesaving interventions. For
immunization, the program focuses on USAID's participation in the GAVI Alliance
(www.gavialliance.org), a public private partnership focused on procurement of new
life-saving vaccines; support to countries for the introduction of new and underutilized
vaccines; support to countries for strengthening their routine immunization systems to
improve coverage and sustainability in the context of their overall child health
programs; and building strong working partnerships with other organizations that are
supporting these same immunization objectives. Childhood vaccination programs offer
one of the most effective strategies the global public health community has at its
command to reduce the high burden of infant and child mortality in developing
countries. As the USAID Administrator recently stated: "The most transformative new
breakthroughs we have at our disposal are in fact, vaccines. By expanding the coverage
of existing vaccines and introducing new immunizations through sustained use of a
strong immunization program, we believe we can save the lives of 4 million children
over just the next five years." USAID has recently made substantial commitments to
GAVI for the next 3 years to support the cost of new vaccines and has joined with other
international partners to assist countries to strengthen their routine immunization
systems making possible the sustain introduction of these new life saving vaccines.
Immunization has been re-born as a top priority with USAID and within the
international health community. The MCH Division seeks an Immunization Technical
Advisor to provide technical oversight and guidance to its maternal and child health
projects and to contribute to the Division's broader mandate of advancing USAID's
work on maternal and child health. The Advisor will specifically assist the MCH
Division in providing technical and programmatic oversight to its immunization and
child health programs and activities, including, but not limited to, the Maternal and
Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP), the Interagency Agreement with the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the HealthTech Project, and other projects
as identified. The Advisor will also provide technical assistance in the MCH Division
in the development, analysis, and implementation of new programs that support
immunization and other child health activities. In addition to the position's primary
focus on immunization, it is anticipated that there will be broader engagement with the
Division's portfolio, including integrated approaches to maternal and child health. The
Advisor should anticipate flexibility in adapting over time to changes in MCH Division
programs and emphases. This Advisor will take technical direction from the MCH
Division's Immunization Team Leader. It is anticipated that the Advisor will have the
opportunity to provide leadership and help shape country-level activities in support of
USAID's expanded immunization work, as well as the Global Health Bureau's support
of those country efforts. The Advisor will be a member of the MCH Division team and
will also work closely with other team members who have complementary areas of
expertise. This position offers a tremendous opportunity for a dynamic individual who wants to be
part of an aggressive effort to make a significant impact on the lives of children worldwide. Childhood
immunization is on the verge of breakthroughs that will not only offer new life-saving vaccines to
children who have suffered needlessly from infectious diseases, but it can also set the groundwork for
lasting improvements in maternal and child health systems in many countries. This position will give the
right individual the chance to join with dedicated public health professionals all over the world in the
struggle to bring this opportunity to a reality. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Serve as technical
advisor to various projects which are focused in whole or in part on immunization
related activities such as the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP).

WHO, and UNICEF that facilitate the implementation of the USAID immunization
strategy. Participate with the HIDN immunization team to work with US and non-US
based NGOs and foundations to coordinate activities around the introduction of new
vaccines and the support of routine immunization systems in developing countries.

including report preparation, inquiry response, conference and meeting participation,
support to missions and bureaus, project oversight, budgeting, office reporting
responsibilities, and all other activities as directed by the Immunization Team Leader.

(GAVI) in the preparation of briefing materials, reports, funding documents and all
other materials that are required. Support the HIDN immunization team in the
