Overview
MSH seeks candidates for the position of Senior M&E Advisor for an anticipated 5-year, Tanzania Malaria Surveillance and Vector Control Project, projected to be awarded on or by June 1, 2018. The Chief of Party (COP) will lead a project, supporting USAID/Tanzania and the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) to assist the Tanzania National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) to strengthen malaria surveillance and to improve targeting and tailoring of vector control interventions across differing transmission zones.
Although significant effort and progress have been made in reducing the effect and impact of malaria in Tanzania in the last 15 years, including a halving of under-five mortality, much work remains as certain areas of the country maintain high prevalence and transmission rates while others are experiencing rates approaching elimination levels. The particular challenge remains to maintain surveillance information to be able to identify areas where different or enhanced vector control approaches may be needed in order to reduce high transmission or even to eliminate malaria, if possible.
The successful candidate will work closely with project COP, USAID/Tanzania and the PMI/Tanzania team as well as with the NMCP of Tanzania to M&E as it relates to the implementation of the project and as it relates to improved malaria surveillance and vector control efforts in Tanzania. The Senior M&E Advisor will, at times, work closely with the MSH headquarters team, particularly the Senior Principal Technical Advisor-Malaria, to ensure efficient implementation of the project M&E plan, while maintaining the highest level of technical excellence.
**This position is contingent upon project award and funding**
Specific Responsibilities
Lead management and implementation of the Tanzania Malaria Surveillance and Vector Control Project M&E plan and work, overseeing and managing project M&E activities, ensuring development and roll out of M&E work plans, preparation and submission of reports as well as constant and highly professional collaboration with USAID, PMI and host-country counterparts including the NMCP and district-level officials.

Identify and prioritize key M&E issues that require an evidence‐based response.
Provide technical assistance in M&E in order to support implementation of project interventions.
Provide leadership and guidance to national-level partners focused on malaria M&E, including relevant national working groups that support the NMCP and the National Malaria Control Strategy.
Assist in the collection and analysis of malaria data including through the DHIS2 platform as well as across differing zones.
Help identify M&E and data gaps related to malaria surveillance and vector control that require changed or improved responses as well as improved collaboration.
When and where possible, leverage MSH’s extensive experience and technical expertise in M&E and operational research to improve activity and project outcomes.
Build on work under the Leadership Management and Governance (LMG) project, support technical assistance, as needed, to the NMCP to build capacity in malaria M&E as it relates to malaria surveillance and vector control.
Qualifications and Experience
Master’s degree in Public Health or related area, or MD or PhD in health field.
Minimum of 7 years of successful experience as senior-level expert in malaria M&E or in malaria or health projects, funded by USAID or by other international donors.
