Dexis is USAID/OTI’s implementing partner in providing this assistance.
The Deputy Chief of Party-Programs (DCOP-P) will work closely with and report to the Chief of Party (COP) to provide technical oversight for ESP.

The DCOP-P will work closely with USAID/OTI to support the development of the program’s Program Performance Management processes, including Rolling Assessments, SRSs, semi-annual and bi-weekly reports, and other requests that may come from either USAID/OTI or Dexis. The DCOP-P is responsible for managing short- and long-term technical assistance (STTA), including the development of their scopes of work (SOWs) and ensuring the final reports are accurate, well-written, and meet expectations. The DCOP-P, as requested by the COP, will also represent the program before a range of audiences and in a variety of platforms, at the national, state and regional levels. The DCOP will ensure all actions and interventions adhere to USAID/OTI and Dexis technical guidance and align with global best practices, including the training of staff as required.
