Purpose of the Position
WHO Nepal Country Office supports the Government of Nepal (GoN) in formulation, implementation and evaluation of national health policies, strategies and plans as guided by the WHO Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) 2023-27 and the Thirteenth General Program of Work (GPW-13). WHO Nepal Country Office has been collaborating with the Government of Nepal (GoN) and stakeholders to combat communicable diseases, including HIV, Hepatitis, STIs, TB, Malaria, One Health and prioritized neglected tropical diseases such as Kala-azar and Lymphatic Filariasis.

WHO’s assistance to the Government of Nepal has played a pivotal role in strengthening and accelerating disease elimination and control efforts, primarily at the strategic level and to some extent at the operational level. In 2023, the WHO Communicable Disease Unit has extended its technical assistance to the sub-national levels, intensifying efforts in active case detection for Kala-azar and other diseases slated for elimination. Additionally, WHO has contributed significantly to the development and implementation of national roadmaps, strategic plans, and guidelines, providing a clear trajectory for progress toward the elimination/control of Kala-azar, Lymphatic Filariasis, Malaria, HIV, Hepatitis, STIs, TB, and other prioritized communicable diseases. Given the multitude of communicable diseases targeted for intervention, WHO’s ongoing support remains critical in sustaining momentum and achieving desired outcomes in disease control and elimination efforts.

The Senior Programme Coordinator for Communicable Diseases will provide technical and coordination assistance to the GoN, particularly the disease program focal points, to execute national strategies, guidelines, and activities for prioritized communicable diseases. S/he will also play a pivotal role in fostering partnerships with the MoHP, DoHS and key stakeholders, and obtaining government approvals and endorsements for national documents, plans, programs, and activities.
