Position Overview
Pact is initiating a new activity in Liberia as part of the ACHIEVE project, a global project funded through the U.S. Department of State. The activity in Liberia will align with ACHIEVE’s overall strategic objectives which include achieving and maintaining HIV/AIDS epidemic control among pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants, children, and adolescents and improving integrated maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and nutrition services.

The County Data Visibility Advisor will provide hands‑on technical assistance, mentoring, and coaching that enables CHTs, DHTs, and facilities to effectively carry out HMIS/DHIS2 data entry, validation, analysis, review, and use within existing national systems and supervision structures.
