GH Tech provides the USAID Bureau for Global Health, regional bureaus, and field missions with high-quality independent technical support for design, monitoring, and evaluation of health, population, and HIV/AIDS activities. The project recruits, fields, and manages consultants for assignments in the U.S. and developing countries.
