• Needs Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive situational analysis of HIV, AIDS, TB, and Sexual & Reproductive Health (SRH) in Namibia, recommending strategic regions for intervention over a 1–5 year horizon.

• Facility Assessments: Identify suitable health facilities for AHF’s integrated service delivery model, focusing on regions with high prevalence and acceptable security.

• Operational Setup: Develop a program concept proposal, 12-month workplan, and startup budget in collaboration with the Africa Bureau team.

• Vendor Management: Map and vet local vendors for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and office infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Namibian procurement standards.

• Representation: Represent AHF in high-level stakeholder meetings and serve as the primary point of contact for the Africa Bureau during the startup phase.
