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.
The Health Governance Advisor serves as the principal technical advisor to the Ministry of Health, Hygiene and Social Security (MoH), the Ministry of Finance, and the Joint Health Cooperation Steering Committee (JHCSC) on all governance and oversight aspects of the U.S.-DRC Health Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding, reporting directly to the JHCSC Co-Chairs from the MOH and the U.S. Embassy. This role provides strategic guidance and hands-on technical assistance to government focal points on institutional governance, JHCSC oversight, G2G eligibility, and risk mitigation systems. The Advisor ensures that DRC Government commitments – including the establishment of transparent oversight structures, implementation of anti-corruption and internal control measures, and achievement of G2G direct funding readiness – are properly planned, executed, and verified in line with the America First Global Health Strategy’s emphasis on accountability and results. The Advisor will support the Ministry of Health in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives.
This position supports governance and oversight across all Areas of Cooperation under the U.S.-DRC Health Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding signed February 26, 2026, strengthening the entire health system rather than individual disease programs. This role will contribute to improved financial sustainability for the delivery of integrated HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and maternal and child health programs as well as disease surveillance and outbreak response including the important work of polio eradication in the DRC.
A critical function of the Health Governance Advisor is defining the operational framework and tools of the JHCSC, which serve as the primary mechanisms for governance, risk management, and cross-ministerial coordination between the two governments. The Advisor designs and implements oversight protocols, performance monitoring systems, and risk mitigation roadmaps, ensuring regular review of governance progress and rapid response to emerging risks. Additionally, the Advisor leads G2G eligibility assessments, supports institutional capacity building, and recommends policy and procedural reforms to strengthen transparency, accountability, and sustainability, thereby advancing mutual health objectives and safeguarding U.S. investments under the MOU.
Deliverables
Reporting
The advisor will submit an inception report with a six-month work plan within 30 days of contract signature. Detailed monthly progress reports are due to the Department of State during the first week of each subsequent month. At the end of the performance period, a final report will summarize achievements, risks, and recommendations for continued MOU implementation.
Reports should demonstrate how governance activities support integrated health system strengthening across all MOU Areas of Cooperation.
