Dexis is a dynamic professional services firm dedicated to partnering with government and community leaders both in the U.S. and internationally to achieve critical social outcomes in a rapidly changing world.

Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) – a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, LLC and Dexis Consulting Group – is implementing the Long-term Exceptional Technical Assistance Project (LEAP Global), a mechanism originally used by USAID to battle against infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and pandemic influenza. As of July 1, 2025, LEAP Global transitioned to the U.S. Department of State (DOS). This initiative aims to address the complex human resource challenges faced by national infectious disease programs in the USA-supported countries.
The intervention of this project is to hire and embed technical expert advisors and subject matter experts within government entities. By directly embedding the technical expertise within the national programs, LEAP provides long-term, sustainable lifesaving support to empower host governments to lead and manage key aspects of their infectious disease portfolios and improve coordination between the U.S. Government and the host country.
The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (GDRC) and the U.S. Government (USG) are expected to implement a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for 2026–2030 aimed at strengthening country ownership, sustainability, and health systems integration within the national HIV response.
The implementation of the HIV transmission elimination program, as well as care and support interventions for people living with HIV (PLHIV), at-risk populations, and affected individuals, is carried out through health facilities and community-based organizations under the coordination of the National HIV/AIDS Control Program (PNLS) and the National Multisectoral HIV/AIDS Program (PNMLS). The strategic directions of this program are primarily defined by the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Social Welfare. However, the majority of funding for essential commodities is provided through resources from the Global Fund and PEPFAR. In order to strengthen the geographical coverage of HIV services, the Government has adopted a policy aimed at integrating these services, including the program for the elimination of vertical transmission of HIV, into primary health care and maternal and child health services. This initiative is being progressively implemented across health facilities. The integration of HIV services into core health system interventions constitutes part of the HIV/AIDS Response Sustainability Roadmap, under the coordination of the PNMLS under High-Level Result (HLR) 4: Optimal coverage of HIV response services is achieved by 2030 and sustained thereafter
As the HIV program transitions toward greater government leadership and long-term sustainability, there is a need for technical assistance to support the integration of HIV services into broader health systems and primary healthcare platforms, while maintaining gains in epidemic control and quality of care.
The Advisor will provide strategic, technical, and coordination support to facilitate integration of HIV services across national and provincial systems, aligned with national health priorities and the MOU framework to support in carrying out life-saving humanitarian assistance (LHA) service delivery in full alignment with the new Presidential Executive Order (EO) directives.
The purpose of this role is to support the design, operationalization, monitoring, and institutionalization of integrated HIV service delivery models within the DRC health system under the USG–GDRC MOU 2026–2030. The Advisor will help ensure that HIV services are increasingly embedded within:
