Tackling Deadly Diseases in Africa Programme 2 – National Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Technical Coordinator, Uganda
About Palladium
Palladium is a global company working to design, develop and deliver positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people around the globe; broaden access to health, water, power, and infrastructure; build enduring, sustainable, and transformative institutions and market systems to address global challenges; and conserve the natural world. We operate in over 90 countries and have a workforce of 2,100 talented, motivated, and diverse staff of all religions, races, languages, and gender identities.
This Opportunity
In September 2024, Palladium was awarded the National and Community Technical Assistance Component contract of the Tackling Deadly Diseases in Africa Programme Phase 2 (TDDAP2), funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). TDDAP2 is enhancing health security across Africa, building upon African successes. The programme will contribute to the reduction of illness and death from infectious disease threats in African populations and globally, with a particular focus on women and girls.
The Palladium-led National and Community Technical Assistance (TA) Component of TDDAP2 has been providing TA to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, and Uganda to ensure that national and community systems are better prepared and able to timely prevent, detect and respond to public health threats and outbreaks. It supports local capacity building to implement National Action Plans for Health Security priorities within the context of a multisectoral One Health, climate-informed approach that ensures gender equity and social inclusion at national and community levels. The National and Community TA Component is expected to close-out in 2027.
From April 2026, during the final year of TDDAP2, the programme is increasing its focus on tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Uganda. This work builds on gains made through the Fleming Fund and focuses on strengthening AMR governance and ownership at national level, improving surveillance and reporting systems, and strengthening laboratory systems and capacity, all using a One Health approach. This work will be carried out in partnership with national governments and in collaboration with other implementing partners. Palladium is seeking a National AMR Technical Coordinator for Uganda to support the effective implementation of AMR activities across TDDAP2. Specifically, the AMR Technical Coordinator will work closely with the respective country team, consortium partners and national government to ensure activities are well coordinated, of strong technical quality and achievements can be sustained beyond the life of the programme.
