Jhpiego seeks a Technical Officer to be seconded to the Epidemiology and Surveillance Directorate at the National Department of Health (NDoH). The role provides technical support to strengthen, optimise, and institutionalise the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) system, encompassing Community-Based Surveillance (CBS), Event-Based Surveillance (EBS), and Indicator-Based Surveillance (IBS) within the national public health surveillance architecture.
The Technical Officer serves as a technical expert and resource on health information and surveillance systems, with a particular focus on DHIS2 system architecture, interoperability, and integration across multiple digital platforms. The role requires practical, applied experience working with system interoperability and APIs to support implementation activities and inform senior technical decision-making.
Operating within established national policies and technical frameworks, the Technical Officer provides evidence-based technical support to NDoH counterparts to enhance data governance, system functionality, and the effective use of surveillance information for decision-making, preparedness planning, and outbreak response. The role contributes to strengthening national capacity for data-driven public health action and sustainable health system strengthening, applying a One Health approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental health surveillance perspectives.
The role serves as the technical reference point for national eIDSR system design, interoperability standards, and performance optimisation.

The moment a woman gives birth; the moment a midwife helps a newborn to breath; the moment a nurse screens for cervical cancer with a simple vinegar swab; the moment a community health worker tests a man for HIV and reports he is HIV free. By embedding the know-how and skills into everyday practice, we are able to increase access to quality health services and create a healthier future for generations to come. Access to lifesaving health care for all people, whoever they are, wherever they live, that’s our mission.
