I.  **BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION**

USAID has provided consistent, long-term support to the national family
planning program for over 20 years, and has made significant
contributions to the national AIDS control effort for the past ten
years. In addition, the Mission supports a wide range of reproductive
health activities (ranging from contraceptive and STD research to direct
service delivery) and supports child survival interventions.

USAID\'s program aims to make significant contributions to the areas of
population/family planning, tuberculosis control, malaria control,
HIV/AIDS prevention, health sector reform and development of the private
sector, and child survival.

USAID/Kenya\'s Office of Population and Health (OPH) aim is to \"reduce
fertility and the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission through sustainable,
integrated family planning and health services.\" OPH has 4 technical
teams consisting of: malaria, family health team, HIV/AIDS team and
Health Sector and Systems Strengthening team.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiative is
the largest commitment ever by a nation toward an international health
initiative for a single disease. Completing its first five-years, PEPFAR
is a \$15 billion, multifaceted approach to combating the disease in
more than 100 countries around the world. The strategy places an
intensified approach on 15 focus countries in Africa, the Caribbean and
Asia that represent approximately half the world's infections. The goal
of the PEPFAR is to treat 2 million HIV-infected individuals, prevent 7
million new infections and to provide care and support for 10 million
HIV-infected individuals and orphans. Although the five-year PEPFAR
authorization will end in 2008, the program is expected to continue for
at least five more years. The U.S. President has already requested
Congress to re-authorize the program for an additional five years and
double the budget to \$30 billion.

Kenya is the second largest of the 15 focus countries in terms of
funding. Under the Emergency Plan, Kenya is expected to receive over \$
500 million in FY 08 to support a comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention,
treatment and care program. Funding levels for HIV/AIDS allocated to the
U.S. Agency for International Development for FY 08 is approximately
\$325 million. USAID/Kenya's Office of Population and Health (OPH) is an
integrated program that combines, HIV & AIDS, child survival, malaria,
tuberculosis, population and maternal and child health activities. The
FY 08 funding levels for family planning and child survival are
approximately \$18 million.

PEPFAR targets established for Kenya are 180,000 new infections averted,
632,800 people provided with palliative care and to provide ARV
treatment for 240,000 people receiving antiretroviral therapy by the end
of FY 08.

In Kenya, a consortium of United States Government (USG) agencies is
charged with coordinating and managing PEPFAR under the leadership of
the US Ambassador. These agencies include USAID, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), the Peace Corps, the Department of State
(DOS) and the Department of Defense (DOD). The goal is to develop and
implement one coherent USG HIV/AIDS program in Kenya combining the
comparative strengths and capabilities of all the government agencies.
The Chief of Mission (COM) provides overall guidance to the interagency
team and the PEPFAR Coordination Office facilitates complementarities
among the various activities by the USG agencies, host government and
other HIV/AIDS donors in Kenya.

**II BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE POSITION**

The objective of the contract is to obtain the services of a Senior
Health Manager- Family Team Leader, who will provide leadership and
advisory services on the full range of family planning/reproductive
health, and maternal and child health activities, including strategic
planning, implemented within the integrated SO. As a USAID contract
employee, the incumbent has the responsibility of understanding and
incorporating the Agency's five core values in all aspects of his/her
work. These core values are: (1) customer focus, (2) managing for
results, (3) empowerment and accountability, (4) teamwork and
participation, and (5) valuing diversity.

The incumbent will work at a senior level in a high-priority USG foreign
assistance program that requires knowledge, experience, maturity, and an
ability to function independently under a complex, highly demanding,
frequently changing environment. The position is located in the Office
of Population and Health, USAID/Kenya, in Nairobi, Kenya. The Senior
Health Manager (Family Team Leader) will be a member of the health
sector SO3 team, based in USAID/Kenya\'s Office of Population and
Health. S/he will serve as team leader for the Family Health Team. S/he
will be expected to work independently, take initiative, and manage a
multi-cultural team with multiple results packages. S/he will advise
USAID/Kenya on all aspects of reproductive health (RH), especially
family planning (FP), maternal health and child survival (CS). The
incumbent will represent USAID at the highest government and donor
levels. Per ADS 103.3.1.1b(4), s/he will not be authorized to sign (1)
obligations that require a warrant, and (2) grants to foreign
governments and public international organizations, thereby prohibiting
her/him from obligating USG funds in these instances. The incumbent will
supervise approximately four non-USDH staff, including senior technical
FSN positions.

The Senior Health Manager-Family Team Leader will be one of four senior
technical advisors within the SO3 team, and one of 34 team members. S/he
will report to the Supervisory Population, Health and Nutrition Officer,
who is the Chief of the Office of Population and Health and provides
overall operational oversight and supervision.

The Senior Health Manager- Family Team Leader will also serve as the
Team Leader for Family Health Team which aims to increase customer use
of integrated family planning, reproductive health, and maternal and
child survival services -- including water and sanitation, health and
hygiene activities. The Senior Health Manager-Family Team Leader will
provide managerial oversight and technical advice to support the
implementation of this program through a combination of bilateral
agreements and buy-ins to USAID/GH cooperating agencies. These
activities range from integrated reproductive health and MCH service
delivery, to national level technical assistance and operations
research. The total budget is approximately \$16 million per year. S/he
will supervise a staff of three FSN professionals and one secretary.

S/he will also work closely with the other three teams, which deal with
policy reform (including systems strengthening, health sector reform,
and technical assistance), malaria, and HIV/AIDS (including policy,
prevention, treatment, and care and support activities). Because of the
integrated nature of the program and the importance of HIV/AIDS within
reproductive health, the Senior Health Manager (Family Team Leader)
shall ensure synergy and complementarity between family planning/MCH and
all other OPH activities.

**III. MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**

**A. Senior Health Manager - Family Team Leader:** the incumbent will:

\(1\) Serve as a high-level health advisor to USAID/Kenya\'s mission
management and the Office of Population and Health. S/he will keep
abreast of current and new health issues, interpret and advise the
mission on implications and implementation options.

\(2\) Represent USAID/Kenya at meetings with implementing partners,
donors, government, USG agencies, and international and local partners.

\(3\) Carry out a full range of consultative, advisory, strategic, and
planning responsibilities.

\(4\) Provide advice to mission management and the SO3 team on
developments in the health sector and provide recommendations on options
on shaping USAID health programs.

**B. Technical Leadership:** the incumbent will manage and supervise all
team projects. This team is central to the successful achievement of the
Mission\'s SO3. As such, there are administrative and staff development
responsibilities related to the supervision of FSNs. The incumbent will
be a technical advisor to the SO3 team leader and have specific
technical oversight responsibilities.

The incumbent assure that the following activities are designed,
implemented, evaluated, and documented in an appropriate manner:

\(1\) Integrated family planning/reproductive health/maternal health and
child survival service delivery, emphasizing the development of quality
services in targeted geographic areas, and provision of national level
technical assistance in training and supervision.

\(2\) Critical contraceptive security issues, including working with
KEMSA and other key development partners supporting assistance to
commodity logistics of family planning methods.

\(3\) Expanded social marketing of reproductive health and child
survival services, including behavior change communication, development
of new products, and expansion of condom sales for HIV/AIDS control.

\(4\) Innovative maternal health and child survival activities,
including province-based MCH interventions, under the USAID APHIA II
programs and with its implementing partners. Innovative pilot programs
and research, and contraceptive research.

**C. Oversight of Reproductive Health (RH) and Maternal and Child Health
(MCH) Activities:** The incumbent will have overall responsibilities for
all USAID-funded RH and MCH activities in Kenya, including but not
limited to:

\(1\) *Strategic planning and program design*: Develop strategies and
detailed implementation plans for an expanded program of health
activities under USAID/Kenya\'s Operational Plan.

\(2\) *Technical*: Maintain a working knowledge of RH epidemiology
(including HIV/AIDS) and MCH, and modeling/forecasting of RH and MCH
trends and needs.

\(3\) *Policy development*: Coordinate activities to assist the GOK and
Kenya's private sector to assess current and future health and
socio-economic impact of the contraceptive method mix; and, facilitate
the use of information on the impact to shape policy and influence

population situation in Kenya (with the U.S. Embassy), and prepare other
briefing documents as required.

**D. Oversee program integration of FP and MCH in Kenya's large
PEPFAR-funded program:** The Mission supports the second largest PEPFAR
program worldwide in Kenya. With an HIV/AIDS budget level of
\$335million (FY08 levels), the mission has designed its national
program around fully integrated programs implemented by a wide range of
national and international technical partners. RH and MCH components of
this large program are, in comparison, small. But the mission's position
is that integration enables management and programmatic efficiencies
that can and do result in leveraged improvements in RH and MCH health
outcomes. The Senior Health Manager (Family Team Leader) will need to
have the analytical skills necessary to inform and guide decision-making
at the SO and Mission levels regarding the on-going effectiveness of
integrated programming. The Senior Health Manager (Family team Leader)
will assist the Mission and the SO3 team to ensure that population-based
data and information gathering tracks results and informs the
development of reproductive health and maternal and child health
programs.

Manager (Family Team Leader) will be responsible for reporting on
Kenya-specific information related to selected aspects of SO3 as part of
the Mission\'s annual reporting process; participating in the
preparation of Congressional presentations; drafting technical and
congressional notifications; and preparing MAARDS and other implementing
documents.

**F. Other Duties as Assigned:** Assist OPH with other tasks related to
the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of USAID support
to the health/population sector in Kenya. The Senior Health Manager

professionals in the Kenya Mission. As a recognized expert and highly
qualified professional, substantial reliance will be placed on the
incumbent to independently plan, prioritize, and carry out the specific
activities entailed in fulfilling major duties and responsibilities. The
incumbent will be expected to resolve problems that arise by determining
the approaches to be taken and methodologies to be used, making
independent judgments that can be defended as necessary.

**D. Authority to Make Commitments:** Because the position will be
procured through a personal services contract, the incumbent cannot make
financial commitments on behalf of the U.S. Government. However, because
of the incumbent's expertise and standing as a highly qualified
professional in his/her field, weight will be given to his/her
conclusions and recommendations when commitments are made by those with
the authority to do so.

**E. Nature, Level, and Purpose of Contacts:** The incumbent will
maintain contacts and work with USAID staff in USAID/Kenya, with
