Overview:
Global Communities works at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion to save lives, advance equity and secure strong futures. We support communities at the forefront of their own development in more than 35 countries, partnering with local leaders, governments, civil society and the private sector to achieve a shared vision of a more just, prosperous and equitable global community.

Global Communities is seeking a Deputy Chief of Party (COP) for the anticipated USAID Ghana Health Program - HIV. This five-year program seeks to increase HIV case finding and linkage to care and treatment - including viral load suppression, in geographic focus areas of Ghana. The Ghana Health Program builds on Ghana’s health and development progress to date in advancing the delivery of integrated HIV health services for key and priority populations. Technical assistance and service delivery activities will build the capacity, sustainability, and resilience of local institutions and regional health directorates. USAID envisions assistance under this program will significantly contribute to Ghana’s progress outlined in national strategies addressing integration of HIV health service delivery.
Under the direction of the Chief of Party, the DCOP will help provide management, and strong technical support in the implementation of the project. We are looking for passionate, dedicated professionals to help us build the world we envision: one of expanded opportunity, where crises give way to resilience and all people thrive.
The DCoP will be responsible for overall technical excellence of the project. The DCOP will lead technical teams to maximize impact and effectiveness of the project by responding to the needs of the implementing teams, Ghana Health Service stakeholders, and maximizing integration across the project's strategies and approaches. The DCoP will liaise with, guide, and ensure that the project’s implementation is aligned with its approved workplan and budget, and meets targets for achievement while providing high-quality technical assistance to regional health directorates, local partners, faith and private sector health service providers, and others. The responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
