Funding for Management and Operations (HVMS): $626,909

This activity supports CDC Vietnam management leadership, including US direct hire staff salaries, benefits

and allowances. Funds also support expenses related to travel, communications, equipment, and

miscellaneous procurement, etc. for CDC management leadership staff.

In FY 2007 and 2008 PEPFAR Vietnam experienced a significant increase in budget, staffing and

programming. The scale up phase of the program is now leveling off with the PEPFAR Vietnam team now

focusing on establishing systems and building capacity to sustain programming. Management leadership

positions provide oversight to these significant resources, supervision of staff and mentorship to CDC's

government partners and locally employed staff in both the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh offices and the

development of new initiatives (e.g. compact framework activities, etc.). This activity supports the following

management positions:

- Country Director, Hanoi, US direct-hire (100%)

- Deputy Director, Hanoi, US Direct Hire (100%)

- Deputy Associate Director, Ho Chi Minh City Office, US Direct Hire (100%)

CDC is requesting a new position in COP 2009 - Associate Director for Operations for the Hanoi Office

(refer to CDC organization chart) under the supervision of the CDC Deputy Country Director. This position

will provide oversight to the program management unit created in FY 2008 and will be provide program

capacity building among CDC-funded grantees to ensure that partners are being good stewards of US

Government funding. This position will also provide program coordination, fiscal and operational program

oversight, and program management and evaluation. CDC is requesting a junior level public health

professional to work alongside more experienced program and management staff, to further the agencies'

capacity in global health programs. The establishment of this position will allow CDC Vietnam to phase out

commercial contractor staff, will alleviate the requirement for short term administrative TDYs and will

provide more authority and responsibility to locally employed staff.

Newly requested position for FY 2009:

- Associate Director for Operations, Hanoi, US Direct Hire (100%)
