PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing heath challenges.
Working closely with Congolese communities and government leaders, PATH has been addressing some of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) toughest health challenges since 2009. We apply our on-the-ground expertise and operational presence to support the Government of DRC (GDRC) to address HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, as well as reproductive, maternal, and child health. We also advocate at the national level to strengthen funding for essential health interventions, such as immunization, providing targeted technical assistance (TA) to build sustainable service delivery platforms and systems, including surveillance and data collection and reporting, and adapting and introducing innovative, low-cost technologies and evidence-based best practices, leveraging our relationships with funders, private industry, community-based organizations, and others for sustainable results.
PATH is seeking a Deputy Chief of Party/Technical Advisor (DCOP/TA) for an anticipated five-year U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project, which will work with the GDRC to deliver high quality, accessible HIV/AIDS services in focus health zones of Haut Katanga province to achieve HIV epidemic control. The project will scale up HIV/AIDS services, including prevention and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis; testing services; enrollment in care and support services for HIV-positive clients; treatment of HIV-positive clients; and continuous engagement of clients on treatment and management of advanced HIV disease. The program will also support activities to strengthen the capacity of local sub-recipients; support the integration of HIV/tuberculosis services, family planning services, screening and management of co-occurring conditions, including other opportunistic infections, and noncommunicable diseases; as well as provide direct, comprehensive services for orphans and young children.
The DCOP/TA will be a senior technical expert responsible for technical oversight, technical quality, and programmatic efficiency of facility and community service delivery and continuous quality improvement (CQI) activities; this includes ensuring project interventions are aligned with required normative standards, guidelines, and priorities. The DCOP/TA will oversee the provision of TA, and coordinate with project leadership to ensure the execution of annual workplans and achievement of assigned annual targets, including advising on innovative service delivery and support models. The DCOP/TA will also provides policy advisory support and liaise with DRC counterparts (including the Programme National de Lutte Contre le SIDS, Programme National Multisectoriel de Lutte contre le Sida, Divisions Provinciales de la Santé, health zone management teams), USAID, and other cooperating partners/stakeholders on project implementation and TA provision. The DCOP/TA will assume the responsibilities of the Chief of Party in their absence, and serve as a secondary institutional liaison with USAID. The DCOP/TA will report to the Chief of Party, and will also supervise project technical and site-level staff.
