Overview:
Access to and provision of voluntary family planning (FP) methods is a foundational strategy to improve maternal, newborn, and child health. While impressive gains have been seen in contraceptive prevalence in Mozambique, more work is needed to address the multiple challenges women and their families face accessing and using FP and to build upon efforts that are yielding positive results. FHI 360 is seeking a Technical Director to lead an anticipated award from the United States Agency for International Development in Mozambique (USAID/Mozambique) to enable women and couples to achieve their reproductive intentions. The anticipated award is a five-year 39.9 million dollar cooperative agreement that aims to 1) increase demand for the adoption of health reproductive behaviors; 2) expand equitable access for quality FP services; and 3) improve leadership and commitment to the national family planning programs at all levels. This position is subject to project award and funding.
Position Description:
The Technical Director will be responsible for all technical aspects of the project. The Technical Director will lead a team of technical advisors and managers that will be tasked with developing activities and indicators aligned with the program result areas and that are based on evidenced-based FP practices. The Technical Director works in close collaboration with the project monitoring and evaluation director to develop indictors and systems to document program accomplishments. The Technical Director will support the Chief of Party in efforts to cultivate relationships with governmental entities, faith-based and civil society organization, and private sector providers that will be needed to realize the project results. The Technical Director will work to ensure that the project is implemented in line with United States Government (USG) rules and regulations. This position will be based in Nampula Province.
