About the Position
. Then responsibilities: list tasks. Requirements: qualifications and skills. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we include only if present. So we will have sections: About the Position, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and skills). Use- for lists. Use
for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: company description, LEAP program description maybe considered background but it's part of posting? It's about the project; might be considered relevant? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description and LEAP program description might be considered background but not boilerplate; but they are not directly about the position. However they are part of posting; we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The "About The Position" section already contains description. The earlier paragraphs about ZemiTek and LEAP may be considered context but maybe not required? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep that info as well, maybe as a
before sections. But we must not repeat job title as heading (none). We'll include a brief intro paragraph about the company and LEAP as context. We must not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule if not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content: Company intro: "ZemiTek, LLC is a Woman-Owned, SBA-certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) based in the Washington, DC metro area. We have a strong record delivering innovative and high-quality solutions. Since 2007, ZemiTek has provided technical assistance, project management, information technology (IT), knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation, training and learning development, and institutional support services." 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 paragraph: "Community health is a key pillar for reducing maternal, infant, and child morbidity and mortality in Niger, particularly among populations located more than 5 km from a health facility. It relies on a network of community volunteers (RECo/RCom) deployed across villages, whose activities are reported and consolidated at the CSI level and integrated into DHIS2. The country has initiated the digitalization of community health a geolocated mapping of community volunteers was carried out (25,788 volunteers identified in 2021), and a Community Health Information System (SISC) aims to integrate community-level data into DHIS2. The rollout of a mobile platform for monitoring community health activities—eCHIS, operated through CommCare—should improve household-level data collection, activity monitoring, and performance management of the community network. However, coverage remains partial (around 42% of villages have community volunteers), the mapping must be updated and verified, and the operation of the CommCare platform requires dedicated technical expertise. This recruitment seeks to secure technical support in alignment with the national health information system (FPR12), DHIS2 interoperability, and personal data protection requirements (HAPDP). Under the authority of the Director of e‑Health, the technical assistant supports community health digitalization. Beyond the community tools, he/she contributes in improving e‑Health Directorate shared functions (sovereign hosting, security, interoperability, architecture, standards, and maintenance) and ensures (i) the creation, updating, and validation of the geolocated RECo/RCom mapping, and (ii) the management, operation, and evolution of the eCHIS/CommCare platform, in alignment with the national e‑Health master plan. The Technical Assistant will support the e-Health Directorate in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives." Then list of tasks: bullet list under "Update and validate the RECo/RCom mapping (geolocation, linkage to health areas/CSI, coverage) Administer and configure the eCHIS/CommCare platform (mobile applications, forms, case management, user accounts) Ensure the transmission and integration of community health data into DHIS2 (SISC) and the national health information system Guarantee data quality, security, and confidentiality (HAPDP compliance) Train and support volunteers, supervisors, and managers; organize skills transfer to Community Health and e-Health Directorates." Then "Scope of Work Component Purpose Ownership Main Elements RECo/Rcom Mapping Geolocation and reference system for community volunteers Community Health Directorate (functional) / e-Health Directorate (technical) Updating, GPS geolocation, linkage to CSI/health areas, alignment with SIG (FPR12) and DHIS2 org units. eCHIS / CommCare Platform Mobile application for community health monitoring Community Health Directorate (functional) / e-Health Directorate (technical)) CommCare management, forms and case management, volunteer accounts, offline sync, dashboards, SMS, and DHIS2 interoperability. The assignment covers both components in an integrated manner the mapping feeds the platform’s geographic reference, and the platform generates data linked to this reference. The exact scope (zones, number of volunteers, access levels) will be defined by Community Health and e-Health Directorates at the start of the assignment." Then "Tasks And Responsibilities" list: "Mapping and Geographic Reference Update and validate the geolocated RECo/RCom database (GPS coordinates collection/validation, deduplication, linkage to health areas) Harmonize the community volunteer reference system with the national health information system (FPR12) and DHIS2 organizational units Produce maps and coverage dashboards (covered/uncovered villages, density of volunteers) for planning purposes. Management of the eCHIS / CommCare Platform Design, configure, and maintain applications, forms, and case management workflows in CommCare Manage accounts and profiles for volunteers and supervisors (creation, permissions, devices, synchronization) Ensure routine operation monitoring, updates, incident management, offline/synchronized modes. Data and Interoperability Implement and document data transmission from the platform to DHIS2 (SISC) and the national health information system Monitor data quality (completeness, consistency, timeliness) and produce reports for managers. Security and Compliance Apply security and confidentiality measures (access management, logging) and contribute to HAPDP compliance regarding household/patient data. Support, Training, And Skills Transfer Provide technical support to volunteers, supervisors, and focal points by developing guides and user materials Train administrators and managers and organize progressive skills transfer to Community Health Directorate.

Then accommodation statement: we can keep as a short paragraph maybe but it's not boilerplate? It's about accommodation; could be considered EEO? It's about reasonable accommodation; maybe we keep as a short paragraph but not as heading. We need to output HTML fragment: include intro paragraphs, then sections. We must not repeat job title as heading (none). Use
for section headings: About the Position, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications). We'll combine qualifications and skills into Requirements. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's craft:
