Health Program Monitoring and Reporting Advisor

About the role

The Health Program Monitoring and Reporting Advisor supports the Office of Health Programs (OHP), the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy’s (GHSD) central office for health program implementation and oversight. OHP protects Americans and enhances U.S. security and prosperity by providing technical leadership and award management for lifesaving global health programs. OHP advances international efforts to combat HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, malnutrition, and maternal and child health challenges that threaten global stability and U.S. interests. OHP ensures that U.S. investments in global health achieve measurable results.

OHP staff collaborate with foreign governments, organizations, industry, and non-governmental actors to strengthen health systems, improve access to essential services, and reduce morbidity and mortality among children, mothers, and families. The Office develops, implements, and coordinates health program policies and initiatives that promote well-governed country health systems capable of responding to the needs of their people and acting responsibly within the international system. OHP also leads efforts to coordinate health programming with other global donors, support the scale-up of evidence-based best practices, and build self-sufficient health systems abroad. Through this work, OHP saves lives, fosters global health security, and advances U.S. national, economic, and health interests.
