USAID Senior Development Outreach and Communications Advisor- USAID MALAWI

The USAID Senior Development Outreach and Communications (DOC) Advisor position is a three-year position, with option to extend for up-to two years. As a member of USAID/Malawi’s Program Office, the Senior DOC Advisor will design a comprehensive DOC strategy, aligned with the CDCS, to produce and disseminate public information regarding the Mission and its development portfolio.

The goal of the DOC strategy is to promote a better understanding and awareness of the impact of USAID’s cooperation with Malawi and to demonstrate the benefits of USAID programs. The communications strategy targets key audiences, such as senior Malawi Government officials, other donors, youth, the private sector, civil society, local and international media, and U.S. lawmakers.

The rationale for targeting these key audiences is to reach decision-makers and opinion leaders on development issues, encourage goodwill, and foster productive partnerships in support of the CDCS’ development objectives.
