AREA OF CONSIDERATION: Open to all U.S. Citizens POSITION DESCRIPTION Background USAID?s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) has provided more than $114 million in FY 2003 and 2004 to support humanitarian needs in Iraq, including delivering essential medicines to healthcare facilities, providing emergency health services, and rehabilitating water treatment and sewage plants, clinics, hospitals, and schools. OFDA expects a new allocation of $70 million in Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Funds (IRRF) through FY 2006 to respond to the needs of up to one million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Iraq, as well as vulnerable populations in communities hosting IDPs. Interventions aimed at reducing mortality, morbidity, and economic impact associated with displacement will help meet immediate needs, support the longer-term goal of enhancing stability within Iraq and facilitate the return of IDPs to non-contentious areas. OFDA currently has seven international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and International Organization (IO) partners, and plans to issue an Annual Program Statement soliciting new proposals to expand implementing capacity. Introduction The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the office within USAID that is responsible for providing non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. OFDA is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA). OFDA is organized into three divisions, under the management of the Office of the Director. The Disaster Response and Mitigation (DRM) Division is responsible for coordinating with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and humanitarian assistance. DRM also devises, coordinates, and implements program strategies for a variety of natural and human caused disaster situations. DRM hires sector specialists to provide technical expertise in assessing the quality of disaster response. The Program Support (PS) Division provides programmatic and administrative support including budget/financial services, procurement planning, contracts and grants administration, and communication support for OFDA?s Washington and field offices. The Operations (OPS) Division develops and manages logistical, operational, and technical support for disaster responses and administrative support to all offices and operations. OPS maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams, Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs). The Assistant Program Officer/Information Officer (APO/IO) will be a part of OFDA?s Europe, Middle East and Central Asia (EMCA) regional team within the DRM Division, as well as the part of the USAID/DCHA team in Baghdad. OBJECTIVE The DCHA/OFDA Senior Management Team has determined that OFDA needs to maintain an APO/IO in Baghdad to meet its program objectives. The APO/IO provides a critical support to the OFDA Program Officer, and ensures accurate documentation and reporting on OFDA programs.
