We are currently seeking qualified candidates
for the position of Senior Technical Officer for

Jakarta, Indonesia for the USAID-funded project, Linkages across the Continuum
of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV (LINKAGES), under the
President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program.
SENIOR TECHNICAL
OFFICER, STRATEGIC INFORMATION AND MONITORING AND EVALUATION (Req. Number
15980)
Project Description:
LINKAGES is implemented by FHI 360 in
partnership with Pact, IntraHealth and the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, and conducts a range of activities to reduce HIV transmission
among key populations (KP) — sex workers, men who have sex with men,
transgender persons and people who inject drugs — and improve their enrollment
and retention in care and treatment across the HIV cascade.
LINKAGES works to accelerate the ability of governments, key
population leaders, organizations working with key populations, and
private-sector providers to plan and implement services that reduce HIV
transmission among key populations and their sexual partners and extend the
lives of those already living with HIV.
The key elements of the FHI 360-led
team’s strategic and technical approach are:
- Identifying key populations and locales and comprehensively assessing risk,
- Diagnosing “leaks” and revealing access barriers within the HIV services cascade,
- Scaling up “what works” while innovating to ensure the most strategic use of resources and access to newly emerging technologies,
- Addressing structural barriers and transforming local KP organizations,
- Ensuring interventions are sustainable over the long term, and
- Supporting the mainstreaming of human rights, gender and competency and capacity development.
The LINKAGES project in
Indonesia will work to build the technical capacity of partners to implement a
set of interventions that increase the uptake of key HIV prevention, testing,
care, and treatment services among KPs. This will be accomplished through
training, mentoring, and the implementation of demonstration projects that
document high-performing sites that can be replicated and scaled up across the
country.
Suitably qualified
candidates openly living with HIV and/or who are representative of the key
populations affected by HIV are also actively encouraged to apply.
