LEAP Program Description
Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) – a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, 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 National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) is responsible for the national coordination of malaria prevention, case management, and malaria supply chain activities in Niger.
In recent years, the national supply chain management system has undergone significant evolution, characterized by:
The progressive strengthening of quantification and supply planning mechanisms;
The increasing use of logistics data from DHIS2;
The progressive strengthening of the Quantification Analytics Tool (QAT) as the national reference tool for supply forecasting and planning;
The gradual transition to a national electronic Logistics Management Information System (eLMIS) based on Open mSupply;
The progressive development of a district-led last-mile distribution model;
The growing need for advanced analysis of logistics data to improve the continuous availability of commodities.
In this context, the NMCP seeks to sustainably strengthen its institutional capacities in the areas of:
Logistics data analysis;
Data validation and triangulation;
Supply forecasting and planning;
Supply chain performance management;
Stockout risk anticipation;
Use of digital logistics management tools;
Monitoring of warehousing and distribution performance;
Pharmaceutical waste management.
To support this transition, the NMCP wishes to benefit from technical support through the recruitment of a Technical Expert in Logistics Intelligence, forecasting, and Supply Chain Performance. The goal is to sustainably strengthen national capacities, not to create functional dependency on external expertise.
The Advisor will support the NMCP in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives.
