The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is advertising for a senior adviser focused on democracy and public administration in Moldova, with compensation up to $152,000 annually. This opportunity emphasizes shaping political reform and governance initiatives in the country. The role will be pivotal for monitoring key political developments and reform trajectories to ensure that USAID’s programs respond to Moldova’s evolving needs and perspectives.
The adviser will coordinate with local communities, international organizations, the private sector, and relevant Moldovan state entities, while keeping stakeholders in Washington informed about progress, risks, and opportunities. This collaborative approach aims to align intervention strategies with on-the-ground realities and long-term democratic governance goals.
Eligibility is restricted to U.S. citizens or individuals who hold permanent residence in the United States. The contract is renewable on an annual basis, with possible extensions up to four cycles, covering the period from May 1, 2023, to May 1, 2024. This structure allows continuity in policy implementation and accountability for program results.
Historically, USAID’s Moldova program has included a dedicated representative responsible for translating U.S. policy objectives into practical strategies on the ground. The senior adviser will contribute to formulating and updating a coherent approach for assisting Moldova’s reform efforts through governance and public administration strengthening, as part of the broader U.S. government strategy in the region.
