Dexis embraces and strives to build and maintain a safe environment where we celebrate diverse backgrounds, treat everyone with respect, and value the unique lived experiences each person brings based on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, military or veteran status, national origin, age, marital status or family status and related conditions.
At Dexis, you will experience a corporate culture of inclusiveness, fairness, and trust. You will be given the means and mentorship needed to succeed, and your creativity will be rewarded.
Global Solutions Ventures (GSV) - a joint-venture partnership between ZemiTek, LLC and Dexis- is seeking a Program Assistant to support the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI), Inclusive Development Hub (ID Hub). The ID Hub's mandate is to promote the rights and inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented populations around the world in the development process, working across various technical areas to "combat stigma and discrimination, promote empowerment and inclusion of marginalized or underrepresented groups, and improve the lives of populations in high-risk situations."
USAID's ID Hub serves as the government's leader in promoting integrated development approaches to ensure full social participation in the development process by all involved, specifically by promoting participation from the world's underrepresented, historically-marginalized groups. The ID Hub's policies promote ways to engage children in adversity, youth, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, LGBTQI+ persons, and integrate mental health, rehabilitation, and assistive health technologies into project design, implementation, and evaluation so that they can contribute to and benefit from development programming. USAID's Suggested Approaches for Integrating Inclusive Development Across the Program Cycle and in Mission Operations defines inclusive development as "the concept that every person, regardless of identity, is instrumental in the transformation of their own societies and their inclusion throughout the development process leads to better outcomes."
The Program Assistant works closely with the Program Office and Senior Communications Advisor supporting the ID Hub's goals and activities. This will be a full-time (defined as at least 40-hour work week) position based in Washington, DC. This is a long-term, hybrid position with an immediate start date.
