 Associate Country Director

Associate Country Director Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Open-ended contract "Very Competitive Global Package" Oxfam will meet the tax and social security liabilities
Oxfam GB has been working in Tanzania since the early 1970s. We aim to improve livelihoods and ensure people have adequate basic services, are safe and can influence decisions that affect them and their communities. Our strategy focuses on Livelihoods and Vulnerability, Governance and Education and Agribusiness that is aligned to Oxfam's global campaigning strategy. Oxfam International affiliates partner with the government, civil societies, donors, NGOs and the private sector to deliver.
The role An Implementing Affiliate under Oxfam's new single management structure, you'll support the delivery of the Joint Country Analysis and Strategy and lead teams in the roll out of development initiatives on the ground. It's crucial that we maintain a consistent and integrated approach in our efforts across Tanzania. Something you'll keep in mind as you take charge of operational and people management; mobilising your team in the delivery of agreed priorities and plans, seeing to it that we're utilising our resources and identifying opportunities to build on our capacity. But your success will hinge as much on the partnerships you develop as the operational work involved. So building relationships with key political figures, managing vital donor contracts and partnering with private sector and other NGOs, and civil society platforms, you'll create strong links and establish Oxfam as an influential agency - helping to make a real difference to a country in need of our support. You will demonstrate a strong track record in integrating gender at all levels of analysis and programme delivery.
What we're looking for To deliver in a role of such importance calls for extensive experience of driving programme development and change management, both in a humanitarian and development context. So you'll know all about building donor and partner relationships and leading and motivating teams. And from a practical standpoint, you'll be confident overseeing complex budgets. More than that, economic justice, social justice and advocacy skills are essential, as is the ability to think politically, analytically and strategically in challenging situations. But just as importantly, you'll have the credibility, the drive and the passion to positively represent Oxfam at all levels.
About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There's enough wealth in this world to go around. It's not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It's unjustifiable. It's not just their problem. It's ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we're looking for yours.

Family Planning and Reproductive Health Advisor
Global Health Fellows Program II
Technical Advisor II/III: Family Planning and Reproductive Health Advisor
USAID/Tanzania
Location: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Assignment: Two year fellowship
GHFP-II-P2-087
The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by addressing the Agency’s immediate and emerging human capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels. These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National professionals. The program then provides substantial performance management and career development support to participants, including annual work planning assistance, and ensures that professional development opportunities are available.
Looking to the future, GHFP-II also seeks to establish a pool of highly-qualified global health professionals that will ensure the Agency’s ongoing technical leadership and effectiveness. This objective is supported by an extensive outreach program that brings global health opportunities and specialized career advice to a diverse range of interested individuals, with a particular focus on those underrepresented in the field of global health.
BACKGROUND:
USAID/Tanzania leads the US Government’s (USG) complex, high-profile development program supported by an FY 2012 budget of $334 million. The Mission’s programs support the following major development sectors: health, natural resource management and biodiversity, economic growth, education, and democracy and governance. Reflecting its importance to the Obama Administration, Tanzania participates in all major USG development initiatives, including: Partnership for Growth; Global Health Initiative (GHI) with PEPFAR and the President’s Malaria Initiative as cornerstones; and Feed the Future. USAID/Tanzania employs 118 staff and works with nearly 80 implementing partners including an increasing number of Government of Tanzania (GOT) entities and local organizations through more than 100 active awards.
The 45-member Health Office manages an annual budget of $222 million that supports HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, maternal and child health (MCH), family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), and health systems strengthening activities. The Health Office is structured in an integrated, crosscutting manner rather than by specific health issue/disease; this structure directly reflects the three intermediate results under the USG/Tanzania GHI Strategy via the: (1) Facility-Based Services Team; (2) Health Systems Strengthening Team; and (3) Community-Based Services Team.
USAID has supported the GOT’s FP/RH program since 1989. In March 2010, the Mainland’s Ministry of Health & Social Welfare (MOHSW) launched its “Family Planning National Costed Implementation Plan,” which chose an ambitious contraceptive prevalence rate target of 60% by 2015. While this program has been largely unfunded by the GOT, USAID has continued to support the GOT to support the Plan through: (1) supporting long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods in the public sector; (2) expanding social marketing of condoms and short-term hormonal methods; (3) ensuring contraceptive security; and (4) advocating for FP with both national and district decision makers.
