Position Summary:
USAID/Office of Transition Initiatives requires an in-country Field Transition Advisor (FTA) to be hired and fielded by Creative Associates, to support implementation of the Northern Cameroon Initiative. Due to security restrictions on U.S. Government official personnel, the OTI Country Rep (CR) and Deputy Country Rep (DCR) are unable to travel to the field as often as necessary to oversee the program. The FTA will be an integral part of the program team, and will work closely with the USAID/OTI CR, DCR and USAID/OTI’s implementing partner. The FTA will serve on the program’s Senior Management Team and represent USAID/OTI’s interests at the field level in Maroua where the program is based. The FTA will provide programmatic guidance and advice, political analysis, and operational support to the CR and DCR, and under their direction work closely with the implementing partner to ensure that the Northern Cameroon Initiative meets the expectations of a USAID/OTI program.
This location has been designated as an unaccompanied post.
Reporting & Supervision:
The workload of the FTA will be managed by the USAID/OTI Country Representative (CR) and his/her designee, with oversight and logistical support provided by Creative’s Chief of Party (COP) and Headquarters. The incumbent is expected to take initiative and manage his/her tasks with minimal supervision. The FTA is expected to actively and proactively collaborate with the USAID/OTI CR, and to fully embrace flexibility. Keeping the USAID/OTI CR and/or his or her designee informed of progress, the FTA should propose approaches and methodologies to achieve programmatic goals and objectives for activities and plans.
