USP seeks a program coordinator to provide overall programmatic coordination and support to help implement the USP supported program activities. The period of performance for this consultancy will be contingent upon donor funding.
The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a scientific nonprofit
organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality, and
purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements manufactured,
distributed and consumed worldwide. USP’s drug standards are enforceable in the
United States by the Food and Drug Administration, and these standards are used
in more than 140 countries. USP’s focus on global public health
extends to lower and middle-income countries with work in over 20 countries
through donor-funded programs. Our programs are focused on building the
capacity of regulatory authorities and manufacturers in ensuring patient access
to quality-assured essential medicines by providing: 1) technical assistance to
manufacturers to increase the supply of quality-assured priority medicines for
malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and
maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) products; and 2) capacity-building
activities to regulatory authorities to fulfill their function in ensuring the
supply of quality-assured medical products.
USP is a partner on the USG-funded, JSI-led Cure
Tuberculosis 2 program in the Kyrgyz Republic program. The goal of the
project is to strengthen the Kyrgyz government’s ability to diagnose, treat,
and cure people with Drug Resistant – Tuberculosis (DR-TB).
