Monitoring and Evaluation; M&E Technical Advisor, DOS LEAP Global - Madagascar

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 U.S. Government, through its foreign health assistance programs, supports the Government of Madagascar to strengthen health systems, improve disease surveillance, and enhance the delivery of high-quality health services. This includes investments in malaria control and elimination, maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), and global health security (GHS).

To maximize the impact of these investments, the U.S. Embassy seeks to embed a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Technical Advisor within the Ministry of Health. The Advisor will support the Ministry of Health in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives. The Advisor will help to strengthen national capacity for data-driven decision-making, improve program performance monitoring, and ensure alignment of U.S. Government–supported activities with national priorities.

The purpose of this position is to provide high-level technical assistance and strategic guidance to the Ministry of Health and the U.S. Embassy health team on monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) related to malaria, MNCH, and global health security programs. The Advisor will serve as a bridge between the MOH and U.S. Government health teams to enhance the quality, coordination, and use of health data for program improvement and policy formulation.
