Current Programmatic Position Impacted

•Associate Director HIV Service/Deputy for Programs (USDH)

•TB/HIV Advisor (USDH)

•Human Resource for Health Advisor (USDH)

•Organization Capacity Developer (LES)

While CDC Ethiopia proposes no new positions for COP Y09, we do propose to make the following

adjustments in senior personnel to accommodate evolving needs and priorities.

AD HIV Services/Deputy for Programs: Propose AD Care and Treatment/ Deputy for Programs

The Position is currently responsible for focusing on care, treatment, and prevention activities as well as

serving as deputy for programs for all technical areas. The proposal removes the prevention focus from this

position, allowing the incumbent sufficient opportunity to address the care and treatment programmatic

demands

AD Prevention; new position; replacing TB/HIV advisor

PEPFAR Ethiopia, including CDC, has significantly expanded its prevention portfolio in COP09. The focus

of this position would be sexual prevention. To ensure long-term sustainability of PEPFAR programs, this

position would work on the overall strategy for sexual prevention within USG and with the GOE to develop a

similar host government strategy. The incumbent will be responsible for developing new and innovative

approaches to address sexual prevention among MARPS, including design, implementation, and evaluation

for pilot projects. Recruitment will focus on persons with expertise in behavioral science.

The budget has been adjusted to reflect costs associated with the Associate Director for Prevention

COP'08 Activity Narrative:

This activity includes direct hire salaries, contractors, and technical support contracts.

Current Staffing: CDC Staffing includes management support and technical staff to implement evidence-

informed and technologically sound programs and to support implementation of projects by a large number

of indigenous partners. Direct hires and contractors are used to provide leadership that otherwise would not

be available in the local market. Local staff members have key roles in assisting partners with project

implementation and providing administrative support. We have experienced some turnover and difficulty in

recruiting due to changes in the job market which have led to increased competition. We are actively

recruiting to fill vacant positions.

Reprogrammed/New Positions: Reprogramming includes Care & treatment Advisor to TB/HIV Expert in

order to: Improve the tuberculosis (TB)/HIV monitoring and evaluation: Scale up provider- initiated

counseling and testing of TB patients; improve TB diagnosis in HIV-positive persons; and strengthen

linkages and referrals between TB and HIV care units within a facility and across the health network.

We are also requesting a direct-hire Resident Advisor for the Filed Epidemiology Training Program (FELTP)

of Facilitate the development and implementation of the curriculum, maintain Scientific excellence of the

training, oversee trainees, consult on epidemiologic methods, supervise the evaluation of trainees, and

provide technical support to the field supervisors .
