MALARIA ADVISOR
KINSHASA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

The Public Health Institute is seeking a Technical Advisor Level III: Malaria Advisor
(GHFP-09-139) in Kinshasa. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP) is a five year
cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute (PHI)
in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health, Management Systems
International and Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
GHFP is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The
goal of GHFP is to improve the effectiveness of USAID Population, Health and
Nutrition programs by developing and increasing capacity of health professionals in
Washington, DC and overseas. This is accomplished through the recruitment,
placement and support of junior, mid and senior level health professionals; a diversity
initiative focused on providing internship and mentoring opportunities in international
public health to underrepresented communities; and professional and organizational
development activities to bolster USAID’s ability to maximize results and strengthen its
leadership role in global health. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is ranked
among the bottom ten countries in the world on a range of basic social and quality of
life indicators, with an estimated 80% of the population living below the poverty line.
The National Malaria Control Program reports that malaria accounts for 25% to 30% of
under-five mortality contributing to approximately 75,000 to 100,000 deaths a year.
USAID has been supporting malaria control efforts in the DRC for more than ten years.
Although not selected as one of the 15 countries in the President’s Malaria Initiative
(PMI), the level of USAID malaria funding in DRC rose significantly in FY07 and
FY08 to about $7 million annually. The goal of the increased USAID support is to assist
the Programme National de Lutte Contre le Paludisme (National Malaria Control
Program; PNLP) and other partners to scale up malaria prevention and treatment
interventions nationwide to achieve significant reductions in malaria mortality and
morbidity. The 2007 Demographic and Health Survey showed very low coverage rates
of the key malaria prevention and control measures. Only 9% of households owned one
or more insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), and only 6% of children under five and 7% of
pregnant women had slept under an ITN the night before the survey. The proportion of
children under five with fever treated with artemisinin-based combination therapy
within 24 hours of the onset of illness and the proportion of pregnant women receiving
two doses of intermittent preventive treatment were less than 1% and 5%, respectively,
but it should be noted that implementation of these interventions only began in 2006.
USAID funding of malaria control efforts in DRC has focused on scale up of a package
of malaria prevention and treatment measures in all health facilities within 80 targeted
health zones in four provinces. DRC is currently finishing Phase II of a 5-year, $53
million malaria grant from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria
(Global Fund) and is in negotiation for signature of a new five-year, $383 million
Round 8 grant. The DRC is also a World Bank Malaria Booster Program country and
will receive approximately $130 million in malaria funding over the next four to five
years. UNICEF, the UK Department for International Development, the World Health
Organization, and others donors have been partners with the PNLP in scaling up
interventions. The Malaria Advisor will work with the USAID Health Team to manage
and implement USAID-funded malaria activities in the DRC and will receive day-to-
day direction from the Health Officer or his/her designated representative. The Global
Fund and World Bank are the largest donors in malaria in the DRC and it is critical that
the Malaria Advisor liaise with them to identify opportunities for collaboration and
leveraging of funds. USAID/DRC’s Health Strategic Objective includes malaria
activities as an important component of its portfolio. Malaria is a major component of
the two primary health care projects currently located in 80 health zones within four
provinces providing services to a population of 11 million people. The Malaria Advisor
will collaborate with and provide technical direction and support to the Cognizant
Technical Officers (CTOs) as well as interact with other components of the health
portfolio as needed, but will concentrate his/her time on malaria-specific activities. The
Malaria Advisor shall provide technical and administrative guidance on the
development and execution of the malaria activities in collaboration with the
USAID/Washington malaria team. Responsibilities will include regular contact and
collaboration with the DRC PEPFAR team, Global Fund partners, counterparts in the
PNLP and other government ministries and agencies, as well as civil society, private
organizations, other donors, international organizations, and other United States
Government (USG) entities working in malaria prevention and control. The Malaria
Advisor will: Develop and plan malaria prevention and control activities consistent with
the malaria control coverage needs identified by the strategy and plans of the PNLP.
The Advisor is primarily responsible for the implementation of the Malaria Operational
Plan. Ensure that all activities are consistent with internationally-accepted best
practices and relevant to the specific malaria epidemiology of DRC. Participate in
malaria related meetings and ensure effective communication and coordination between
USG-funded malaria activities and malaria programs funded by other donors including
the World Bank Booster Program, Global Fund and the Government of DRC. Provide
technical support to all partners and managerial support as needed during the
implementation phases of the initiative to ensure the quality of interventions supported
and that programmatic targets are met. Participate in PEPFAR and other USG
interagency meetings as necessary. Provide timely updates regarding malaria activities
to USG partners. Manage procurement of program commodities and monitor
distribution. Work with the USAID/DRC Health Team to facilitate the integration of
malaria activities into overall USAID-supported health activities and coordinate these
activities with the PNLP and Ministry of Health to avoid duplication of effort and
programming gaps. Monitor the malaria budget. Develop a monitoring and evaluation
plan to facilitate oversight of implementation of malaria activities. Carry out
monitoring and evaluation visits to implementation sites to ascertain all quantitative
and qualitative data is collected properly. Ensure that financial and technical reports on
the malaria initiative in DRC are prepared and submitted as required. Develop and
maintain relationships with partners and stakeholders in order to effectively ensure that
all of USG malaria activities are complementary and enhance all other malaria
activities being implemented in DRC. The Advisor will participate in meetings hosted
by the PNLP, as well as Global Fund on malaria and other appropriate meetings. Other
duties as assigned. REQUIREMENTS: Master’s degree in public health, international
health, or social sciences and/or clinical health. Minimum 10 years’ progressively
responsible experience in designing, implementing and managing malaria and other
health programs with at least 3 years’ experience in developing countries/ resource poor
setting. HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, maternal and child health experience in Africa
preferred. Expertise in technical leadership, program management, strategic planning,

programs, procedures and systems for program design, procurement, implementation,
management and monitoring preferred. Ability to analyze, interpret and revise public

policy environment related to malaria. Experience managing the development and
implementation of effective malaria prevention and treatment program activities
involving financial and human resources. Ability to integrate short and long-range
objectives of the USAID Health Team and the PMI with the organizational needs of the
government. Knowledge of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods; experience

*C-CHANGE PROJECT MANAGER/COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION
SPECIALIST
KINSHASA, DRC

CARE is seeking a C-Change Project Manager/ Community Mobilization Specialist in
the DRC. DR Congo holds one of the world’s worst health indicators: 81/1,000 infant
mortality rate (ranking 19th worldwide), 4.2% HIV prevalence (100,000 deaths per
year, ranking 6th worldwide), 20% children under 5 mortality, very high incidence of
epidemics (cholera, malaria, TB, etc.). In the province of Katanga alone, over 4 deaths
out of 10 are caused by malaria. In the 80 health zones where USAID supports primary
health care, the principal focus is delivering a minimum package of basic health
services; improving management and drug supply systems; and enhancing supervision
and provider performance. At the national level, USAID supports routine immunization
and polio eradication. However useful these humanitarian health programs are in the
DR Congo, they are chronically hampered by the extremely poor access of the
population to the health structures. Due to the population’s spread, poor status of roads,
and deeply entrenched beliefs about modern medicine, health services are not used.
CARE will thus promote health seeking behaviors at the very community level. This
will reduce the incidence of tuberculosis, cholera, HIV, malaria, sexual violence and
epidemics and will link an estimated 3,158,100 people to around 880 health centers.
The Communication for Change Program (C-Change) is implemented within a
consortium led by AED where CARE is responsible of the community component.
Based in Kinshasa with over 70% travel to the four target provinces (Kasaï Oriental,
Kasaï Occidental, South Kivu and Katanga), the PM works under the leadership of the
Chief of Party and under the secondary supervision of CARE Director of Programs.
QUALIFICATIONS: University degree in social sciences (sociology, anthropology,
development preferred) or medical sciences. At least 5 years of international project
management. Strong experience in community mobilization, community development
and community-based approach. Experience in working in challenging environments.
Familiarity with health-related programs. Written and oral French and English
essential. Strong personnel management skills. Very good presentation and
communication skills. Community dialogue and approach. Desired: Medical
certificates or knowledge preferred. Solid experience in designing and conducting
training workshops. Experience in managing projects on different bases and/or remote-
controlled management. Familiarity with African setting. Familiarity with DR Congo;
