The TD/DCOP will support the COP in coordinating with USAID, key stakeholders, implementing partners, and government representatives and will lead the coordination for technical and operational aspects of the project. In addition, the TD/DCOP will manage the implementation of key program activities throughout the targeted districts, oversee the work of technical staff, and ensure efficient technical and operational support for the project team.
