USAID/Uganda is seeking for qualified individuals to fill the Project Management Assistant (Health) position.
The position is located in the USAID/Uganda Office of Health and HIV/AIDS (OHH). The OHH is responsible for one of USAID’s largest and most complex bilateral assistance health programs. Currently, there are six technical units: 1: Health System Strengthening Unit (HSS), 2: President’s Malaria Initiative Unit (PMI), 3: the HIV & TB Unit (HIV/TB) and its PEPFAR sponsored activities, 4: Family Health Unit (FHU), 5: Strategic Information Unit (SI) which provides support to the Office and other technical teams, and 6: Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and Emerging Pandemic Threats Unit. The OHH Team is headed by a U.S. Foreign Service Officer who reports directly to the Mission Director.
The PMA occupies one of the two USAID Project Management Assistant (Health) positions, providing support to CORs/AORs managing substantive health and other programs/projects/activities in the USAID/Uganda OHH. Within the Unit of assignment, the PMA participates in the work of the Unit Leader and the organization’s CORs/AORs, in order to increase output and efficiency in meeting Office, USAID, and USG goals and objectives; in response to OHH-wide events the PMA may be assigned to any Unit, as needed. The PMA provides program and budget assistance across OHH activities; supports performance monitoring; and provides administrative support, operating independently or cooperatively with the other PMA in OHH. In the absence of any COR/AOR, the PMA may be assigned to receive calls, answer non-technical questions, and refer more technical program/project/activity questions to the technical staff, up to the limits of their training and skill level. Work includes a variety of complex research, reporting, contact, monitoring, and analytical duties, and coordinating work with the CORs/AORs, the Unit and Office Chief, other Mission technical officers, and Government of Uganda (GOU), implementing partners (IPs), and Non-Government Organization (NGO) counterparts.
