Chemonics seeks a chief of party for the anticipated $15 million USAID-funded Adapting and Modifying Optimized Sample Transport Routes for Achieving Impact (AMOSTRA) activity based in Maputo, Mozambique. The project aims to provide an effective and efficient transportation system for laboratory specimens including viral load (VL) for HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) and Tuberculosis (TB) specimens. AMOSTRA will expand access to viral load monitoring, EID and TB testing by competitively engaging transporters, including both private sector and community-level transporters, to operate a cost-effective specimen referral system.
The chief of party will bear primary responsibility for the overall technical and managerial requirements of program performance and will be responsible for the overall management and implementation of the project. They will supervise project implementation and ensure that the project meets stated goals and reporting requirements. They will also have principal responsibility for representation of the project to USAID. The chief of party will maintain effective communication with USAID, the Chemonics home office, key public and private partners in Mozambique, and other donors and cooperating agencies. This position is contingent upon successful award. We are seeking individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
