GHFP-07-037
The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP) is a five year cooperative
agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute (PHI)
in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health, Management
Systems International, and Tulane University School of Public Health and
Tropical Medicine. GHFP is supported by the US Agency for International
Development (USAID).
The goal of GHFP is to improve the effectiveness of USAID Population,

</p>
<p>
This is
accomplished through the recruitment, placement and support of junior,
mid and senior level health professionals; a diversity initiative

INTRODUCTION
In June 2005, President Bush announced a new $1.2 billion initiative,
the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) to reduce malaria-related
mortality by 50% in up to 15 sub-Saharan African countries through a
rapid scale up of a package of proven malaria prevention and treatment
measures: artemisinin-based combination therapy; insecticide-treated
mosquito nets, intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy, and
indoor residual spraying. USAID is the lead agency for implementation of
the PMI, working in close collaboration with the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and other USG agencies. The Initiative is
results-based, focused, and exhibits a high level of financial and
programmatic accountability.
</p>
<p>
The Office of Health, Infectious Diseases and Nutrition (HIDN) in
USAID's Bureau for Global Health seeks a Malaria Technical Advisor &
Communications Liaison to serve as a key member of USAID's Presidential
Malaria Initiative (PMI) team. He/she will provide technical country
support to PMI focus countries and serve as a liaison on the development
of technical communication and written reports associated with PMI and
malaria efforts.
</p>
<p>
The Malaria Technical Advisor and Communications Liaison will exercise
independent judgment in planning and carrying out tasks, in serving US
Government priorities at critical technical and policy forums, in
resolving problems and conflicts, and in taking steps necessary to meet
deadlines. The Advisor must possess expertise in malaria treatment,
prevention and control and experience communicating this technical
guidance and information to support and advise PMI efforts at
