The East Africa Advisor will serve as the regional contact for PASA SPS program and collaborate with USAID Mission Leaders, other Embassy staff, and other stakeholders to identify opportunities to improve SPS infrastructure within the assigned region. These projects are complicated in themselves because they involve officials of the U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State, as well as officials and stakeholders of foreign countries with varied national interests and priorities, which must be considered along with USDA policies and interests, as well as those of other U.S. Government department and agencies and international organizations.

The SPS Advisor will provide senior level leadership for the design, implementation, and evaluation of technical assistance programs, training and workshops in the realm of plant health, animal health, and food safety in his/her assigned region. Activities will support several U.S. Government efforts such as the Trade Africa Initiative, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and the Feed the Future Initiative (FTF), in which U.S. government efforts seek to promote economic growth, development, and food security in sub-Saharan Africa. These efforts will focus on bringing agricultural policy, legislation, regulations and production methods within the assigned region into compliance with international obligations and strengthening SPS regulatory infrastructure. These efforts will also support agricultural development and assist in meeting international standards, which will enable agricultural commodities produced in sub-Saharan Africa to become eligible for export to new markets while maintaining existing markets.

· Ability to prioritize, define and initiate/coordinate priorities and to weigh various approaches to achieve objectives, foresee possible impact of actions taken and to motivate changes in approach as warranted; and to analyze project activities and administrative processes and initiate action for improvements in developing, conflict, and post-conflict societies.
Communication:
· The ability to quickly and effectively identify, articulate, and diplomatically present positions favorable to USG SPS interests and communicate technical issues to a broad range of audiences, including speaking authoritatively at technical levels with a wide range of decision-makers in a cross-cultural setting.

Through an ongoing interagency agreement between TSCB and the USAID, TSCB is initiating new projects with partner countries in sub-Saharan Africa to enhance food security and support international trade through compliance with and implementation of SPS regulations. The SPS capacity building program for sub-Saharan Africa includes selection and management of project staff, determination and provision of targeted technical assistance and/or technical cooperation, project implementation, and assessment.
