8. STATEMENT OF WORK
POSITION DESCRIPTION
Background
The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the office within USAID that is responsible for providing emergency non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. OFDA is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) and is organized into three divisions. The Disaster Response and Mitigation Division (DRM) is responsible for the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance through a grants mechanism to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations (IOs) including the United Nations (UN) agencies, and to other partners to ensure the implementation and delivery of this assistance. This division also oversees OFDA's non-response efforts in disaster risk reduction. DRM also coordinates with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and assistance. DRM devises, coordinates, and implements program strategies for a variety of natural and man-made disaster situations. It encompasses a group of technical sector specialists who provide expert capability in assessing the quality of disaster response and disaster risk reduction activities. The Program Support Division (PS) provides programmatic and administrative support including budget/financial services, procurement planning and guidance, contracts and grants administration, and communication support for OFDA’s Washington and field offices. The Operations Division (OPS) develops and manages logistical and operational support for disaster responses and administrative support to all offices and operations. OPS maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Search and Rescue Teams (SAR), coordinating and supporting Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and the Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs) as needed.
Introduction
Since 2002, frequent natural disasters and conflict have displaced populations and generated significant humanitarian needs throughout Afghanistan. Recurrent natural disasters in Afghanistan include drought, floods, landslides, earthquakes and avalanches which affect an average of 400,000 Afghans a year. The majority of individuals displaced under the Taliban regime returned home between 2001 and 2007, according to the U.N. However, natural disasters and continued conflict have resulted in recurrent and protracted displacement. An intensification of conflict, particularly in southern regions, forced more than 100,000 individuals to flee their homes in 2010, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center. In addition, between 5.5 million and 6 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan since 2002, according to the U.N. In total, approximately 400,000 individuals are known to be displaced as of April 2011, although restricted humanitarian access impedes comprehensive displacement tracking.
Since 2001, USAID/OFDA has provided more than $260 million in humanitarian assistance to address the needs of returning populations, internally displaced persons, and other vulnerable populations affected by conflict and natural disasters in Afghanistan. USAID/OFDA-funded activities have included support for logistics and emergency relief commodities, responses to food insecurity, severe acute malnutrition, emergency health, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, as well as assistance to recover basic livelihoods. USAID/OFDA continues to support a three-pronged approach to improving humanitarian responses in Afghanistan by supporting a rapid response capacity to address acute needs following natural disasters and conflict, assisting communities and local civil society to better prepare for and mitigate the risks associated with natural disasters and enhancing humanitarian coordination and data collection and analysis so that disaster affected populations are identified and needs responded to quickly and appropriately.
OBJECTIVE
USAID/OFDA requires the services of a Senior Humanitarian Advisor based in Kabul, Afghanistan, to ensure that OFDA’s objectives for disaster assistance, risk reduction, strategic reporting, interagency coordination, and situational analysis are met in the ongoing response.
9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This position requires an individual who is able to reside in Kabul, Afghanistan, as determined in consultation with the Embassy and the Mission and subject to security and programmatic considerations. It also requires a willingness to travel within Afghanistan on short notice for possibly an extended period of time. The incumbent will serve as the primary contact and liaison for OFDA's ongoing humanitarian assistance activities in Afghanistan. The incumbent will work closely with the USAID/Afghanistan Mission, the Embassy’s Refugee Coordinator, international organizations (IOs), non‑governmental organizations (NGOs), the United Nations, and NATO-led forces where appropriate, to respond to humanitarian needs and sudden onset disasters. The Senior Humanitarian Advisor will be responsible for program analysis, program monitoring, oversight of program implementation, as well as reporting to OFDA Washington, the Europe, Middle East, and Central Asia (EMCA) Regional Office in Budapest, Hungary, the USAID Afghanistan Mission and, as required, U.S. Embassy staff.
The Senior Humanitarian Advisor will serve as the primary point of contact for OFDA implementing partners working in Afghanistan and will monitor, evaluate and report on OFDA-funded programs. This position requires substantial coordination with representatives from other USAID offices, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA), Provincial Regional Teams (PRTs), District Stabilization Teams (DSTs), as well as with relevant United Nations (U.N.) and NGO agencies, therefore requiring a highly collaborative work style. The Senior Humanitarian Advisor must be prepared to function effectively in a challenging and restrictive work environment and be willing to strictly adhere to U.S. Embassy security and travel policies.
Working directly under the guidance and supervision of the Principal Regional Advisor for Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia (EMCA), the incumbent will:
- Serve as the principal point of contact for OFDA in Afghanistan for humanitarian issues, and serve as a liaison on program issues among the USAID Mission, U.S. Embassy, NATO-led coalition forces, OFDA/Washington, and the overall humanitarian community.
- Lead efforts to identify and assess humanitarian assistance requirements and target beneficiary groups and locations, and existing relief programs, and recommend the types of interventions and budget levels necessary to support OFDA’s programs in Afghanistan.
- Supervise relevant foreign national program staff within the Kabul OFDA Program Office.
- Monitor ongoing programs and the overall humanitarian assistance landscape in Afghanistan. Regularly review partner’s reports, coordinate with OFDA/EMCA regional office, and OFDA/Washington on issues of mutual interest, and provide coordinated Washington and field feedback to the partners.
- Coordinate closely with OFDA/EMCA regional office, OFDA/Washington, the USAID Mission, PRTs, DSTs, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, and NATO Forces as well as U.N. agencies, International Organizations and NGOs working in Afghanistan.
- Coordinate collection of information and provide updates and recommendations through written reports on issues related to the humanitarian situation, including the following:
- Capacity and level of activity of local institutions to carry out relief programs;
- Capacity and ability of U.N., IOs, and NGOs to carry out programs;
- Capacity of the logistics infrastructure to support programs;
- Security situation of personnel, convoys, and relief operations in general;
- Impact of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) activities on humanitarian programs;
- Contributions by other donors, problems arising from implementation of relief programs, and any other issues that require the attention of OFDA; and
- Humanitarian coordination issues and any recommendations for change.
- Provide guidance to organizations that are developing proposals for OFDA, based on OFDA’s Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting; review concept papers and proposals and provide timely recommendations/comments to OFDA/ Washington.
- Present OFDA perspectives to NGOs, IOs, and U.N. agencies relating to humanitarian assistance strategies, priorities and technical requirements. Work closely with OFDA/Washington Technical Assistance Group (TAG) and PRA to discuss and understand sectoral priorities.
- Visit OFDA-funded projects, as security permits, and report on a timely basis to the EMCA regional team on the quality of grantees’ work, noting deficiencies, attributes, and evolving operational conditions.
- Represent U.S. Government (USG) humanitarian interests at national meetings and conferences, and facilitate, as requested, travel and briefings for official USG visitors interested in humanitarian issues.
- Maintain regular liaison with U.N., NGOs, IOs, GIRoA, and other organizations regarding humanitarian activities.
- Maintain regular, close coordination and communication with OFDA/Washington EMCA regional offices and OFDA’s military liaison officers at CENTCOM.
- Contribute to field reports on trends, individual agency programming issues, and topics such as humanitarian protection and coordination.
- Submit situation reports and assessment reports whenever necessary, including official reporting cables as the situation warrants.
- Have the ability to operate standard field communications equipment; may be required to operate a four-wheel drive, standard shift vehicle in cross-country conditions.
SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP:
The Senior Humanitarian Advisor will report directly to the OFDA Principal Regional Advisor (PRA) for the Europe, Middle East, and Central Asia Region in Budapest, Hungary. However, for many activities, the Senior Humanitarian Advisor will coordinate tasks directly with personnel within USAID/Afghanistan, and in collaboration and consultation with other USAID and U.S. embassy staff. The Senior Humanitarian Advisor does not have the authority to commit OFDA resources without approval from OFDA/Washington.
SUPERVISORY CONTROLS:
Supervisory controls will be minimal. The Senior Humanitarian Advisor is expected to act independently with minimal direction and will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment. The OFDA PRA for EMCA will provide direction in terms of broadly defined program goals and objectives.

ATTACHMENT 1
Acquisition & Assistance Policy Directive (AAPD) No. 06-10
PSC Medical Expense Payment Responsibility
General Provision 22, MEDICAL EXPENSE PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY
(OCTOBER 2006)
(a) Definitions. Terms used in this General Provision are defined in 16
FAM 116 available at
http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/regs/fam/c23002.htm.
Note: personal services contractors are not eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Programs.
(b) The regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual, Volume 16, Chapter 520 (16 FAM 520), Responsibility for Payment of Medical Expenses, apply to this contract, except as stated below. The contractor and each eligible family member are strongly encouraged to obtain health insurance that covers this assignment. Nothing in this provision supersedes or contradicts any other term or provision in this contract that pertains to insurance or medical costs, except that section (e) supplements General Provision 25. “MEDICAL EVACUATION (MEDEVAC) SERVICES.”
(c) When the contractor or eligible family member is covered by health insurance, that insurance is the primary payer for medical services provided to that contractor or eligible family member(s) both in the United States and abroad. The primary insurer’s liability is determined by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the insurance policy. When the contractor or eligible family member is not covered by health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount of medical costs incurred and the U.S. Government has no payment obligation (see paragraph (f) of this provision).
(d) USAID serves as a secondary payer for medical expenses of the contractor and eligible family members who are covered by health insurance, where the following conditions are met:
(1) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense is incurred, caused, or materially aggravated while the eligible individual is stationed or assigned abroad;
(2) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense required or requires hospitalization and the expense is directly related to the treatment of such illness, injury, or medical condition, including obstetrical care; and
(3) The Office of Medical Services (M/MED) or a Foreign Service medical provider (FSMP) determines that the treatment is appropriate for, and directly related to, the illness, injury, or medical condition.
(e) The Mission Director may, on the advice of M/MED or an FSMP at post, authorize medical travel for the contractor or an eligible family member in accordance with the General Provision 10, Travel and Transportation Expenses (July 1993), section (i) entitled “Emergency and Irregular Travel and Transportation.” In the event of a medical emergency, when time does not permit consultation, the Mission Director may issue a Travel Authorization Form or Medical Services Authorization Form DS-3067, provided that the FSMP or Post Medical Advisor (PMA) is notified as soon as possible following such an issuance. The contractor must promptly file a claim with his or her medevac insurance provider and repay to USAID any amount the medevac insurer pays for medical travel, up to the amount USAID paid under this section. The contractor must repay USAID for medical costs paid by the medevac insurer in accordance with sections (f) and (g) below. In order for medical travel to be an allowable cost under General Provision 10, the contractor must provide USAID written evidence that medevac insurance does not cover these medical travel costs.
(f) If the contractor or eligible family member is not covered by primary health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount of medical costs incurred. In the event of a medical emergency, the Medical and Health Program may authorize issuance of Form DS-3067, Authorization for Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents, to secure admission to a hospital located abroad for the uninsured contractor or eligible family member. In that case, the contractor will be required to reimburse USAID in full for funds advanced by USAID pursuant to the issuance of the authorization. The contractor may reimburse USAID directly or USAID may offset the cost from the contractor’s invoice payments under this contract, any other contract the individual has with the U.S. Government, or through any other available debt collection mechanism.
(g) When USAID pays medical expenses (e.g., pursuant to Form DS-3067, Authorization for Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents), repayment must be made to USAID either by insurance payment or directly by the contractor, except for the amount of such expenses USAID is obligated to pay under this provision. The Contracting Officer will determine the repayment amount in accordance with the terms of this provision and the policies and procedures for employees contained in 16 FAM 521. When USAID pays the medical expenses, including medical travel costs (see section (e) above), of an individual (either the contractor or an eligible family member) who is covered by insurance, that individual promptly must claim his or her benefits under any applicable insurance policy or policies. As soon as the individual receives the insurance payment, the contractor must reimburse USAID for the full amount that USAID paid on the individual’s behalf or the repayment amount determined by the Contracting Officer in accordance with this paragraph, whichever is less. If an individual is not covered by insurance, the contractor must reimburse USAID for the entire amount of all medical expenses and any travel costs the contractor receives from his/her medevac provider.
(h) In the event that the contractor or eligible family member fails to recover insurance payments or transfer the amount of such payments to USAID within 90 days, USAID will take appropriate action to collect the payments due, unless such failure is for reasons beyond the control of the USPSC/dependent.
(i) Before departing post or terminating the contract, the contractor must settle all medical expense and medical travel costs. If the contractor is insured, he or she must provide proof to the Contracting Officer that those insurance claims have been submitted to the insurance carrier(s) and sign a repayment agreement to repay to USAID any amounts paid by the insurance carrier(s).
