Senior Malaria Advisor; DOS​/LEAP Global – Thailand

Who We Are

Zemi Tek, LLC is a Woman‑Owned, SBA‑certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) based in the Washington, DC metro area. We have a strong record delivering innovative and high‑quality solutions. Since 2007, Zemi Tek has provided technical assistance, project management, information technology (IT), knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation, training and learning development, and institutional support services.

Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) — a joint‑venture partnership between Zemi Tek, 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.

The Senior Malaria Advisor will support the National Malaria Program in carrying out life‑saving activities in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives. The primary focus of the Advisor will be technical leadership to ensure the successful strategic planning and implementation of cost‑effective, lifesaving service delivery for malaria prevention and treatment.

• Provide technical support to the Department of State implementing partners and managerial support as needed during the planning, design and implementation phases to ensure the quality of interventions and programmatic targets are met.
• Recommend changes in strategic and/or implementation approaches, using analysis of program performance.
• Work with NMP to strengthen the malaria surveillance system and strategic information management to support elimination and prevention of re‑establishment (POR), including sustainability mechanisms.
