Who We Are

ZemiTek, 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, ZemiTek 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 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

Under the Trump Administration’s America First Global Health Strategy, the United States seeks to protect the American people from global infectious disease threats while helping partner governments achieve long-term self-reliance and sustainability in health. The strategy emphasizes country ownership, co-investment, transition of U.S.-supported services to national systems, stronger public financial management, and clear performance benchmarks.

 

Angola remains a priority partner under this approach. Malaria and HIV are major causes of morbidity and mortality and are central to Angola’s broader infectious disease and global health security landscape. Strengthening Angola’s capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to malaria, HIV, and other epidemic and pandemic-prone diseases is important both for Angolans and for U.S. health security.

Consistent with this strategy, the United States and the Government of Angola aim to:

• Transition malaria and HIV program implementation from parallel, partner-managed platforms to GRA MOH-led systems;
• Strengthen GRA MOH and MOF financial, programmatic, and data systems to manage both domestic and U.S. resources; and
• Gradually increase GRA responsibility for malaria and HIV services, commodities, and health security functions, moving Angola toward health system independence and self-reliance.

The G2G Transition Advisor (“the Advisor”) will support GRA MOH, the MOF, and the U.S. Department of State to design and manage Government-to-Government (G2G) arrangements that advance these goals for malaria, HIV, and related global health security (GHS) capacities. The Advisor will support the Government of Angola in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives. 

 

Purpose of the Position

The purpose of this position is to provide high-level technical and transition support to GRA MOH, the MOF, and the U.S. Department of State to:

Facilitate a structured transition of U.S.-supported malaria and HIV activities to GRA systems, in line with America First principles of country ownership, co-investment, and sustainability.

Integrate malaria and HIV program strengthening into Angola’s broader GHS capacities to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats.

Support the design, implementation, and monitoring of G2G awards that use and strengthen GRA MOH and MOF systems, including public financial management, while achieving agreed malaria, HIV, and GHS outcomes.

Promote long-term sustainability by supporting GRA to increase domestic financing, manage risks, and maintain performance as U.S. support evolves.

Position Description and Reporting

The Advisor will be embedded jointly within:

• GRA MOH (e.g., PNCM and the National HIV/STI Program / Directorate of Public Health); and
• The MOF (relevant budget, treasury, or aid coordination units engaged in health G2G arrangements).

The Advisor will coordinate closely with:

• GRA MOH directorates (e.g., surveillance/epidemiology, laboratories, primary health care, planning and finance, emergency preparedness); and
• MOF counterparts responsible f
