The Technical Support Services (TSS) Activity helps USAID/Southern Africa and Regional Health Office (RHO) to address technical priorities and develop creative, innovative solutions to strategically allocate resources, strengthen connections with partners, and replicate best practices and effective program models.

Through the TSS contract, Panagora Group augments capacity by providing technical, operational, and administrative support to USAID's largest health portfolio.

TSS deploys advisors in response to USAID requests for priority work with government stakeholders, implementing partners, and/or other entities. TSS supports Health Office staff and teams to integrate creative solutions into routine work.

Further, other tasks may include supporting the overall tracking of various procurement actions in process (and maintaining a comprehensive tracking tool), forecasting forward new procurement activities, coordinating procurement actions with routine incremental funding actions, attending meetings related to a specific procurement action or the administrative management of BHO procurement planning.
