Consultancy - Entomologist for Technical Support to National Malaria Control Programme in LAO PDR (Албания - Тендер #37776042)

BACKGROUND

In the discussion with the Centre for Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology (CMPE), Lao PDR it was agreed that WHO should strengthen its role in technical support at the national level to:

1. Strengthen program coordination and ensure full implementation of Malaria National Strategic Plan interventions; and
2. Support implementation of an aggressive approach to impacting malaria transmission and depleting parasite reservoirs in populations with the highest risk of exposure to malaria.

In order to fulfil this role, WHO is recruiting an entomologist to support and build the capacity of the national and subnational malaria program entomology units to conduct effective entomological surveillance and vector control activities, in line with strategic plans, priorities and policies. This position will be supervised by the international Technical Officer (Team Leader for Malaria, TB and HIV) and will work closely with the malaria National Officers and malaria SSAs.

The entomologist consultant will be based in Vientiane and will work with the national level team and conduct field trips to the provinces as required.
