- Description
- Supervisory Regional DOC Specialist The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 as amended requires USAID to inform host countries of assistance provided by the American people. The joint State/USAID Strategic Plan places a heavy emphasis on public diplomacy communication. USAID has agency marking and branding regulations and policy concerning foreign assistance and development projects it funds, including programs implemented by U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental entities, public international organizations and other U.S. departments and agencies. The Supervisory Regional Development Outreach and Communications (DOC) Specialist leads and directs public affairs activities for the mission's bilateral program with South Africa and its Southern Africa regional programs. The incumbent is responsible for promoting and increasing accurate and positive visibility of U.S. foreign assistance, specifically USAID activities, primarily to host country and American audiences. The incumbent is responsible for planning and overseeing the strategic communications outreach, providing leadership and guidance in the development and implementation of the Mission's overall strategy. The DOC collaborates with USG agencies and officials, USAID management, partners (including the host governments, NGO and private sectors), the U.S. Embassy and Consulates, Public Affairs and Press Officers and, as appropriate, with the Embassies' Front Office, to maximize public exposure of USAID projects and activities in the respective countries. The DOC is the primary link with media and USAID's Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs in Washington, D.C., and serves as USAID's chief representative on interagency public affairs and related committees and working groups. The DOC will advise and mentor mission leadership and staff on their own interactions with the media.
