USAID DR Deputy Health Office Chief
STATEMENT OF WORK/ How to apply

I. Introduction
USAID/Dominican Republic (DR) is seeking to fill the position of Deputy Health Office Chief to provide technical and supervisory leadership to the health team comprised of 1 US Direct Hire, 1 Personal Services Contractor and 5 FSNs managing an annual portfolio of over $7 million in PEPFAR HIV/AIDS funding. The incumbent will be responsible for HIV/AIDS issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID Health Office Chief, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight of the Health Program portfolio. The Deputy Health Office Chief will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to CORs and AORs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. Under the direction and guidance of the Chief of the Health Office, s/he will interact with the highest level of the Dominican government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings.

II. Background
The Dominican Republic has transitioned to upper lower middle income country status which presents a variety of challenges in light of the paradigm shift from the traditional conceptualization of development support. The Mission strategy is focused on helping the Dominican Republic to Improve Citizen Security and on prevention and management of HIV/AIDS infections which is a key component of the strategy. The Health Team is in the process of revising traditional development approaches to better respond and support the shift in needs of a new upper middle income country which is facing the challenges of key and vulnerable populations existing in fragile states of poverty and outside of the safety net. Additionally as the conditions in the DR continue to improve, responsibility for management and sustainability of activities is shifting to the government and NGO counterparts. Within this context, USAID is also challenged with accomplishing its goals with declining budget support.
The PEPFAR program is based on a country team approach of U.S. government agencies which includes the Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Defense, the Peace Corps, and the Agency for International Development. The Deputy Health Office Director will be closely involved in planning, collaborating , and negotiating with these agencies to manage the overall activities under this joint program as defined by the overall yearly Country Operational Plan (COP).

Country Overview:
The HIV prevalence in the Dominican Republic is 0.8 percent in the general population (DHS 2013). The 2013 Spectrum model estimates approximately 43,700 persons living with HIV. Of persons newly diagnosed with HIV, approximately 50 percent of men and 35 percent of women have an AIDS defining condition [Ministry of Health (MOH), 2013]. As of January 2014, there were 25,232 (45.6 percent male, median age-41) persons receiving clinical follow-up in one of 77 treatment facilities, of which 18,539 (73.5 percent) were on anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence (GBV) marginalize those affected and create barriers to their ability to access needed HIV prevention, care and treatment services.

The epidemic disproportionately affects specific Key Populations such as commercial sex workers (CSW), Men who Have Sex with Men (MSM), and Injecting Drug Users (DU). HIV seroprevalence among key populations (2012 Behavioral Surveillance Survey) is higher than in the general population. Other Targeted Vulnerable Groups such as residents of bateyes, mobile populations, at-risk youth, at-risk teenage girls and at-risk young women, and HIV pregnant women and their infants also have high infection rates (DHS 2013).

Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, USAID has supported the Government of the Dominican Republic and local organizations to strengthen the HIV response. Historically, most of this support has been funneled through international institutions with a focus on service delivery rather than sustainability. The Dominican Republic has been able to scale-up HIV care and treatment services and slow the spread of HIV by rigorously implementing evidence-based prevention strategies like the 100% Condom Campaign targeting commercial sex workers. Meanwhile, many organizations have strengthened their institutional capacity; maturing from support groups to service delivery organizations. Leveraging this emerging local capacity reflects commitment to investing in local organizations in order to strengthen the comprehensive response to HIV and ensure sustainability.

The complex relationship between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is reflective of a history of highly uneven development. There are an estimated 1,000, 000 Haitians, including documented and undocumented immigrants, many living in extreme poverty, throughout the Dominican Republic. Numerous Haitians migrate to the DR seeking jobs, health care and a better life. For example, a significant number of women travel from Haiti to give birth in public hospitals in the Dominican Republic, returning to Haiti after delivery. It has been estimated in hospitals supported by USAID that between 20-35% of the patients delivering are Haitian and at the border areas this number rises to upwards of 70%. Additionally HIV prevalence in Haiti is estimated to be twice as high as in the DR. There is also considerable movement between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which is especially exacerbated by the porous border. The January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the temporary movement of a large number of Haitians into the Dominican Republic further demonstrated the strong connectivity of issues across the island and a need for partnership.

The Deputy Health Office Chief will be mainly responsible for HIV/AIDS issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID Health Office Chief, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight to the Health team. The Deputy Health Office Chief will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to CORs and AORs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. S/he will interact with the highest level of the Dominican government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings. S/he must be able to think and operate strategically and programmatically, analyzing complex situations in order to assist in the development of USAID strategic plans and programs, and assessing the impact of host country policies and practices on USAID programs. S/he will work in collaboration with members of the Health Team to achieve programmatic objectives. The incumbent will advise, collaborate and work with the health team in the planning, formulating, implementing, and monitoring and evaluating of health activities and strategies.

The Master Contract will utilize Cost plus Fixed Fee, Labor Hour/Unit Price, or Firm Fixed Price Work Assignments. The terms of a Master Contract for a selected consultant will not exceed 3 1/2 years with an estimated maximum contract amount of up to one (1) million dollars; however, MDOT may elect to execute a contract for a lesser not to exceed amount.

Also, all text information in the recommended 25 page limit should be shown in a readable font, size 12 points or larger.
