Palladium International is looking for a Data Analytics and Visualization Consultant within the EpiC Moldova Project

Project Overview

Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) is a global health initiative project funded by United States Department of State (DoS) for the period of 2019–2027. 

The project receives Global Health Security funding to strengthen global, regional, and local public health systems, building on broad experience and existing capabilities that align with GHS priorities, National Action Plans for Health Security (NAPHS), and US Government goals.

EpiC is led by FHI 360 with core partners Right to Care (RTC), Palladium International, and Population Services International (PSI), and draws upon regional and local partners. The project delivers high-quality technical assistance at the community, facility, district, regional and national levels, and builds relationships with relevant partners working to address health security issues. Our ability to respond quickly to program, technical and procurement needs leverage our deep bench of country-based clinical, program, and community experts.  

Among the most urgent priorities to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats related to emerging infectious disease include:  

• Provide technical and operational support to the NAPH to strengthen the Public Health Emergency Operations Center (PHEOC), including the development and refinement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), data reporting mechanisms, and coordination processes to ensure timely and effective outbreak response.
• Support enhancing the reporting and use of data for decision-making through the establishment of real-time dashboards and analytical tools. This will also include support for the development and implementation of a context-specific EMCE approach focused on priority pathogens and high-risk antimicrobial resistant pathogens.
• Support landscape assessment of Moldova’s digital health and data sharing policies focused on surveillance and reporting of priority pathogens and antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance. This activity will identify gaps, interoperability challenges, and opportunities to align with international standards and best practices.
• Strengthen the capacity of priority hospitals to implement effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures and improve their ability to conduct outbreak surveillance. This will include training, provision of technical guidance, and integration of hospital-level data into national reporting systems.

The project is seeking to recruit a part-time Data Analytics and Visualization Consultant for EpiC Moldova.
