GHSC-PSM provides health commodity procurement services and systems strengthening technical assistance that address all elements of a comprehensive supply chain. All four task orders are implemented in Nigeria, with a scope of work that spans all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).   
  • Given the scale of operations in Nigeria and the complex security environment, GHSC-PSM requires a large security team to manage security both in the main office in Abuja and across the six regions where the project maintains activities.
  • The project currently employs a Security Manager to lead the management of the security platform, and two Security Advisors to provide direct technical assistance specifically for field operations.

  • Monitor open sources and other intelligence streams in order to collect information on significant security developments, trends, and incidents in project areas of operations.
  • In coordination with the Security Manager and Security Advisors, draft security reports including the weekly bulletin and as needed special alerts or advisories to staff via email or bulk SMS.
  • Alert the Security Manager and Security Advisors to developing security situations or incidents in the project areas of operations.
  • Carry out briefings as directed by the security team, including travel briefings for incoming international travelers and security orientations for new employees.
  • Assist in the management of the office security plan, including contributing to the administration of physical security systems and helping the implementation of procedures.
  • Manage office safety needs, including maintaining the office evacuation plan, ensuring fully-stocked first aid kits, testing satellite phones, checking fire extinguishers, and developing security signage.
  • Document and track all staff travel using the designated tracking tools, to include taking the lead on routine communications with staff in transit.
  • Manage updates for key security documents, including monthly updates for the project phone tree, management of the bulk SMS list, and review of the emergency action plan.
  • Lead administration of security team files in SharePoint, providing for version control, records management, and tools for the management of data.
  • Assist the Security Manager in performing departmental audits within stipulated timeframes and implementing recommending corrector actions according to the findings.
  • As a member of the security team, support incident response—including updating the incident log and drafting initial security incident report forms as directed.

Reporting:
