  • Develop protocols for assessments and surveys with feedback and pilot testing support from epidemiologists located in headquarters
  • Prepare and adapt routine documentation with support from epidemiologists located in headquarters
  • Plan and supervise human resources processes for staff under responsibility, ensuring required skills post-training
  • Manage data systems, ensuring accurate and high-quality databases
  • analyse results and prepare regular reports
