The FP/RH Advisor will provide managerial oversight, and strategic and technical advice to support the implementation of HPN’s FP/RH program. These activities range from training in the provision of FP/RH methods, working with the host country to improve contraceptive security, developing private sector partnerships, behavior change communication intended to increase utilization of modern contraceptive methods, expanding growth of social franchises, and policy and advocacy activities aimed at repositioning family planning and reproductive health in Malawi’s national agenda.
S/he will also work closely with other USAID staff to ensure comprehensive FP/RH integration into maternal and child health, malaria, water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS, systems strengthening and education. Because of the integrated nature of the program and the importance of HIV/AIDS within reproductive health, the incumbent will work closely with the HIV/AIDS Team Lead, Health Systems Strengthening team, and Climate Change Specialist.
