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.
Community health is a key pillar for reducing maternal, infant, and child morbidity and mortality in Niger, particularly among populations located more than 5 km from a health facility. It relies on a network of community volunteers (RECo/RCom) deployed across villages, whose activities are reported and consolidated at the CSI level and integrated into DHIS2.
The country has initiated the digitalization of community health: a geolocated mapping of community volunteers was carried out (25,788 volunteers identified in 2021), and a Community Health Information System (SISC) aims to integrate community-level data into DHIS2. The rollout of a mobile platform for monitoring community health activities—eCHIS, operated through CommCare—should improve household-level data collection, activity monitoring, and performance management of the community network.
However, coverage remains partial (around 42% of villages have community volunteers), the mapping must be updated and verified, and the operation of the CommCare platform requires dedicated technical expertise. This recruitment seeks to secure technical support in alignment with the national health information system (FPR12), DHIS2 interoperability, and personal data protection requirements (HAPDP).
Under the authority of the Director of e‑Health, the technical assistant supports community health digitalization. Beyond the community tools, he/she contributes in improving e‑Health Directorate shared functions (sovereign hosting, security, interoperability, architecture, standards, and maintenance) and ensures (i) the creation, updating, and validation of the geolocated RECo/RCom mapping, and (ii) the management, operation, and evolution of the eCHIS/CommCare platform, in alignment with the national e‑Health master plan. The Technical Assistant will support the e-Health Directorate in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives.
Updating, GPS geolocation, linkage to CSI/health areas, alignment with SIG (FPR12) and DHIS2 org units.
CommCare management, forms and case management, volunteer accounts, offline sync, dashboards, SMS, and DHIS2 interoperability.
The assignment covers both components in an integrated manner: the mapping feeds the platform’s geographic reference, and the platform generates data linked to this reference. The exact scope (zones, number of volunteers, access levels) will be defined by Community Health and e-Health Directorates at the start of the assignment.
REPORTING:
The Technical Assistant will provide a detailed monthly report to the U.S. Department of State submitted by the 5th day of the following month. Additionally, the Advisor will submit a weekly progress report to U.S. Embassy/Department of State (and participate in weekly calls) to include a short paragraph about main successes for that week.
