Three positions with CAMRIS International
Policy and Innovative Financing Advisor
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has contracted through CAMRIS International partnered with IAP World Services Inc., (IAPWS), to recruit and hire qualified individuals for Policy and Innovative Financing Advisor, Office of the Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Global Health, United States Agency for International Development.
BACKGROUND: In 2011, the Administrator of USAID announced that USAID would establish a center of excellence in the Global Health Bureau to accelerate the development, introduction and scale up of priority global health interventions. This new Center – The Center for Accelerating Innovation and Impact – will promote and reinforce innovative, business-minded approaches to address the key bottlenecks in development, introduction and scale-up – applying business, management and marketplace principles to accelerate impact against some of the world’s most important health challenges.
Despite the existence of hundreds of technologies to improve global health, relatively few are available to save lives in the developing world, where morbidity and mortality burdens are greatest. An antiseptic that costs less than 10 cents could be used to reduce neonatal infection across South Asia. An injection that costs just 60 cents could halve a premature infant’s risk of respiratory distress. A set of pills costing less than 1 dollar could reduce maternal death from postpartum hemorrhage. All of these technologies exist, yet none reaches more than a tiny fraction of the mothers and babies whose lives they could save. Those technologies that do eventually reach those hardest to reach populations often take far too long to get there.
To address these and other challenges, the Center will: Serve as a catalyst, driving innovation and partnerships; Work with the Bureau’s technical offices to help prioritize existing and new innovations and interventions that align directly with the Agency’s priorities in global health; Support rapid introduction of and/or access to these priority interventions; and seek not only to develop best practices in innovation, introduction and uptake across sectors, but to push the boundaries of current thinking to improve the health and efficiency of the marketplace.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: USAID is seeking a Policy and Innovative Financing Advisor to play a key role identifying and building innovative financing mechanisms and policies necessary to bring life-savers like these to the people who need them the most. The Policy and Innovative Financing Advisor will be part of a dynamic, new start-up team that will help shape the direction of the Center, building partnerships with key thought leaders globally and pushing new boundaries in this critically important area of development. The Policy and Innovative Financing Advisor will be expected to be a thought leader on innovative financing and policy issues tied to innovation and access, represent USAID in public meetings, and cultivate strong relationships internally with technical and mission staff and externally with senior executives of companies, and senior officials from foundations and governmental, multilateral and nongovernmental organizations. He/she will also be responsible for identifying opportunities, helping to set priorities for the Center, and supporting the Global Health Bureau priorities. He/she will possess, or will be expected to rapidly develop, deep knowledge of and strategic perspectives on the range of existing innovative financing mechanisms and market incentives that exist, including the ability to think creatively about the development and application of new tools.
We are seeking a highly motivated, entrepreneurial individual with outstanding problem solving, managerial, analytical and communication skills. The candidate must be able to function well independently and in teams, and have a commitment to excellence and producing results. The Center of Excellence places great value on the following personal qualities: resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, energy, and positive attitude.
Responsibilities: Work within the Center’s Policy and Research Team, helping to set priorities for the Center, seize opportunities and effectively support the Global Health Bureau priorities. Assess gaps and critical roadblocks to innovation, introduction and utilization for key global health interventions at the global and country level. Identify and develop innovative financing mechanisms, market incentives, or other policy tools to accelerate innovation for priority global health products and interventions and support their rapid deployment and uptake in the field. Provide support to technical offices and missions ensuring they have tools needed to integrate best practices and lessons learned for product development, introduction and uptake into their program planning. Build and manage key relationships with manufacturers, developers, foundations, donors and other stakeholders to advance USAID’s global health priorities, support R&D agenda-setting, in-country registration and strategic prioritization.
Present USAID programs and policies at relevant meetings with external parties and conferences. Possess, or rapidly develop, deep knowledge of and strategic perspectives on the range of existing innovative financing mechanisms and market incentives that exist, including the ability to think creatively about the development and application of new tools. Identify opportunities and new initiatives as priorities within the Center expand. Prepare reports, project plans and templates as needed. Conduct other activities as required.
REQUIREMENTS: The contractor must have: Outstanding academic credentials. MPP, MBA or other relevant graduate degree preferred. Minimum 5 years of policy experience in global health. Solid understanding of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device industries; financial markets; regulatory and procurement pathways. Exceptional analytical and communication (written and verbal) skills. Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships and communicate effectively with people of varied professional, cultural, and educational backgrounds. Entrepreneurial mindset, including ability to think strategically, operate independently, self-motivate, be flexible, and set and achieve ambitious targets.
Ability to be effective in high-pressure situations, juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, problem solve in a fast-paced environment and set priorities. Ability to understand incentive structures, and engage and persuade senior-level executives and other stakeholders. Ability to absorb and synthesize a broad range of information, including financial, regulatory, clinical, demographic and scientific information. Detail-oriented with strong organization skills. High level of proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word. Willingness to travel. U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a secret-level security clearance required. This is an opportunity for employment or a contract, but we reserve the right to make no selection or award.

Immunization Technical Advisor
The Global Health Fellows Program II is seeking a Technical Advisor Level III: Immunization Technical Advisor (GHFP II-P1-005) in Washington, DC. Assignment: Two year fellowship. The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by developing and increasing the capacity of health professionals with tailored development opportunities. This is accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels, and professional development activities aimed to enhance the technical and leadership skills of global health professionals.
INTRODUCTION: The Maternal and Child Health Division (MCH) within USAID’s Office of Health, Infectious Diseases, and Nutrition (HIDN) works closely with USAID Missions and Regional Bureaus as well as the private sector, other US government agencies and departments, and international partners to: advocate for investments in improving maternal and child health, with a focus on the major causes of mortality and associated morbidity; introduce innovative cost-effective interventions to address these issues; and leverage human, technical, financial resources to help countries improve their capacity to deliver such lifesaving interventions. For immunization, the program focuses on USAID's participation in the GAVI Alliance (www.gavialliance.org), a public private partnership focused on procurement of new life-saving vaccines; support to countries for the introduction of new and underutilized vaccines; support to countries for strengthening their routine immunization systems to improve coverage and sustainability in the context of their overall child health programs; and building strong working partnerships with other organizations that are supporting these same immunization objectives.
Childhood vaccination programs offer one of the most effective strategies the global public health community has at its command to reduce the high burden of infant and child mortality in developing countries. As the USAID Administrator recently stated: “The most transformative new breakthroughs we have at our disposal are in fact, vaccines. By expanding the coverage of existing vaccines and introducing new immunizations through sustained use of a strong immunization program, we believe we can save the lives of 4 million children over just the next five years.” USAID has recently made substantial commitments to GAVI for the next 3 years to support the cost of new vaccines and has joined with other international partners to assist countries to strengthen their routine immunization systems making it possible to sustain introduction of these new life saving vaccines. Immunization has been re-born as a top priority with USAID and within the international health community.
The MCH Division seeks an Immunization Technical Advisor to provide technical oversight and guidance to its maternal and child health projects and to contribute to the Division’s broader mandate of advancing USAID’s work on maternal and child health. The Advisor will specifically assist the MCH Division in providing technical and programmatic oversight to its immunization and child health programs and activities, including, but not limited to, the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP), the Interagency Agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the HealthTech Project, and other projects as identified.
The Advisor will also provide technical assistance in the MCH Division in the development, analysis, and implementation of new programs that support immunization and other child health activities. In addition to the position’s primary focus on immunization, it is anticipated that there will be broader engagement with the Division’s portfolio, including integrated approaches to maternal and child health. The Advisor should anticipate flexibility in adapting over time to changes in MCH Division programs and emphases. This Advisor will take technical direction from the MCH Division’s Immunization Team Leader. It is anticipated that the Advisor will have the opportunity to provide leadership and help shape country-level activities in support of USAID’s expanded immunization work, as well as the Global Health Bureau’s support of those country efforts.
The Advisor will be a member of the MCH Division team and will also work closely with other team members who have complementary areas of expertise. This position offers a tremendous opportunity for a dynamic individual who wants to be a part of an aggressive effort to make a significant impact on the lives of children worldwide. Childhood immunization is on the verge of breakthroughs that will not only offer new life-saving vaccines to children who have suffered needlessly from infectious diseases, but it can also set the groundwork for lasting improvements in maternal and child health systems in many countries. This position will give the right individual the chance to join with dedicated public health professionals all over the world in the struggle to bring this opportunity to a reality.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Serve as technical advisor to various projects which are focused in whole or in part on immunization related activities such as the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP). This role may require reviewing work plans, budgets, and country activities, participating in evaluations of the program as requested, and other technical oversight tasks as requested by the Agreement Officer’s Technical Representative. Participate with the HIDN immunization team regarding activities with other US Government agencies (e.g., NIH, CDC) and international and multilateral partners such as GAVI, WHO, and UNICEF that facilitate the implementation of the USAID immunization strategy. Participate with the HIDN immunization team to work with US and non-US based NGOs and foundations to coordinate activities around the introduction of new vaccines and the support of routine immunization systems in developing countries.
Work with the Immunization Team Leader and other members of immunization team in all technical aspects of managing and implementing the USAID immunization strategy including report preparation, inquiry response, conference and meeting participation, support to missions and bureaus, project oversight, budgeting, office reporting responsibilities, and all other activities as directed by the Immunization Team Leader. Backstop the Bureau liaison to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in the preparation of briefing materials, reports, funding documents and all other materials that are required. Support the HIDN immunization team in the provision of technical and program guidance and monitoring of the MCH Division’s child health and immunization activities.
Provide programmatic backstopping to the MCH child health and immunization teams, including developing and providing information on budget proposals, ensuring tracking of financial obligations and expenditures, and assisting with preparation of results and portfolio review documents. Provide USAID missions and other operational units (such as USAID Regional Bureaus) with technical assistance in immunization and child health, including communication and outreach with missions regarding program design, implementation and monitoring. Monitor, analyze and provide recommendations to USAID programs in immunization and child health, including participation in country-level reviews, design of mission strategies, review of country level performance indicators, and preparation and presentation of reports on program activities and results.
Join country teams and participate in country program reviews and action plans, provide technical recommendations on the immunization component; participate in technical assistance and evaluation trips to USAID country programs. Provide technical input as appropriate to health-related projects throughout the Agency. Assist in the activities of the MCH Division in the HIDN Office. This will include taking a prominent role in responding to Congressional reporting requirements in child health and immunization, representing the Division in meetings and conferences, responding to external inquiries, serving on working groups and technical committees, providing backstop support to other activities in the division, and serving as a non-voting member on procurement panels when appropriate. Assist with preparation and presentation materials, briefings, reports, etc. on child health programs; lead in the preparation of briefing, reports, etc. on immunization programs.
