- Train and mentor USAID staff and implementing partners in policy development and HSS analysis.
- Ensure that evidence generated are translated into appropriate policy changes.
- Participate in the strategic design and procurement of USAID programs and ensure alignment with National Priorities.
- Establish and maintain close working relationships with all levels of staff at relevant USAID operating units and other agencies.
- Prepare policy or HSS related requirements for the PEPFAR Country Operational Plan.
- Establish strategic partnerships with multilateral and bilateral donors.

Requirements
