LEAP Program Description Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) – a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, LLC and Dexis Consulting Group – is implementing the Long-term Exceptional Technical Assistance Project (LEAP Global), a mechanism originally used by USAID to battle against infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and pandemic influenza. As of July 1, 2025, LEAP Global transitioned to the U.S. Department of State (DOS). This initiative aims to address the complex human resource challenges faced by national infectious disease programs in the USA-supported countries. The intervention of this project is to hire and embed technical expert advisors and subject matter experts within government entities. By directly embedding the technical expertise within the national programs, LEAP provides long-term, sustainable lifesaving support to empower host governments to lead and manage key aspects of their infectious disease portfolios and improve coordination between the U.S. Government and the host country. About the Position The Advisor will support the Kenya's National Public Health Institute (NPHI) in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives. This SOW commissions a senior short-term technical advisor (STTA) to be embedded within Kenya's NPHI to advance Ebola readiness and preparedness, in support of life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) funded under USG Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives and managed through the U.S. Department of State. The Advisor will support the NPHI and relevant multisectoral Government Departments and Agencies, including the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, and Environment, to strengthen the NPHI's capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to Ebola and other high-consequence infectious disease threats. The Advisor will identify programmatic bottlenecks and facilitate solutions through coordinated technical support across the GHS portfolio. The Advisor will be based at the NPHI, receive day-to-day direction from an NPHI-designated supervisor, and submit weekly and monthly reports to the U.S. Embassy and Department of State. The assignment spans 12 working weeks with an estimated 68 days of effort across 18 deliverables. Familiarity with USG/Department of State programming and C/AOR experience are highly desirable.

Develop and refine surge readiness plans covering personnel, supplies, and laboratory capacity. Produce SOPs for case detection, notification, isolation, and response. Identify and address IMS structural gaps. Provide targeted technical assistance across all national Ebola Preparedness Framework pillars: surveillance and detection (7-1-7 aligned); laboratory surge capacity and specimen referral; IPC, PPE, and decontamination; ETU readiness and clinical management; RCCE at national and sub-national levels; and Point of Entry (POE) screening for Ebola and high-consequence pathogens. Support development of national and sub-national Ebola preparedness plans aligned with IHR. Facilitate multisectoral engagement across ministries, agencies, and partners.
