We seek a dynamic Mozambican Chief of Party to lead this USAID-funded activity in Mozambique called the Democratic Local Governance Strengthening Program. This is anticipated to be a 5-year, $20m integrated cross sectoral program that will support systemic improvements in subnational delivery of public services at central, provincial, district and/or municipal levels. Implementation of the program will be closely coordinated with USAID’s current and future media support, civil society strengthening, water and sanitation for health (WASH), primary health, primary education, biodiversity, business environment and extractive industries activities. The activity will support to decentralize local governments in targeted provinces of Nampula, Zambézia, and Cabo Delgado. It will have three main objectives: 1) Democratic governance of Mozambican institutions strengthened; 2) Service delivery capacity of targeted subnational governments strengthened; and 3) resilient, broad-based economic growth accelerated.
