Senior Strategic Information Integrated Health Infrastructure Advisor, DOS LEAP Global - Nigeria

Overview

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.

Position Description

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.

About the Position

The Senior Strategic Information Integrated Health Infrastructure Advisor (HIV/TB, Malaria, MNCH, GHS, Nutrition, RI) will be stationed at the Department of Health Planning, Research and Statistics (DHPRS) office within the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in Nigeria to support the ministry in carrying out life-saving health assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives and the 2025 US-Nigeria Health MOU.

This cross-cutting position is funded through multiple program streams (HIV, TB, MNCH, Malaria, etc.), reflecting its broad mandate to support integrated data and statistics management across all major health program areas.

The Advisor will provide strategic, technical, and managerial leadership to strengthen the DHPRS’s capacity for integrated data management, harmonized health information systems, health policy development, sector planning, monitoring, research, and coordination. A key focus will be on enhancing the District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) for high-quality, integrated data reporting across HIV, TB, malaria, MNCH, GHS, nutrition, and routine immunization. The Advisor will also support the interoperability of DHIS2 with other national data systems, and provide technical guidance in the governance, coordination, and optimization of national health registries (client, health worker, and facility registries).

In this role, the Advisor will lead capacity building for DHPRS staff and stakeholders, strengthening skills in digital health, data quality, data governance, analytics, research, strategic planning, and evidence-based policy making. The Advisor will collaborate closely with various government agencies (NASCP, NACA, NCDC, NPHCDA, NTBLCP, NMEP), ministries, international partners, NGOs, and donors to ensure effective coordination and integration of data management systems.

Through these efforts, the Advisor will help optimize data quality, enhance research and learning, and promote efficient, effective, and sustainable implementation, monitoring, and reporting of life-saving health programs in line with the US-Nigeria Health MOU and Nigeria’s Universal Health Coverage (UHC) goals.
