The Senior GHS Advisor will identify programmatic bottlenecks and facilitate solutions through coordinated technical support and facilitation of U.S.‑government‑supported GHS activities.

The Advisor will be based within the appropriate ministry and work with implementing partners for effective collaboration with the Ministry. The Advisor will work closely with and receive day‑to‑day supervision and guidance from the ministry and U.S. Embassy Jakarta/DOS ECON Health Unit points of contact at Post, who will provide collaborative oversight and serve as the on‑site manager and supervisor.
