For a project on multi-sectoral response to HIV in Zambia financed by the German Cooperation Health Focus GmbH is looking for international and national long-term and short-term experts in the field of HIV / AIDS response and communication in Zambia. The project entitled “Multi-Sectoral Response to HIV in Zambia” has set the following goal: provide high-quality prevention and information services in the district of Livingstone.
Furthermore, the project will pursue a multi-actor approach which will support government and non-government entities so that they can realise their roles within the decentralised response to HIV and SRHR.
The water kiosks, which primarily serve as meeting points for women and girls in areas severely affected by poverty and HIV, will be used as a starting point for the prevention services concerning HIV and SRHR. The project plans to strengthen the competence and control functions of the local government and the District AIDS Task Force through consultative process support, technical, organisational and strategic consulting in project and fiscal management as well as training representatives of the Steering Committee. Furthermore, the project will provide consulting services for NGOs in adapting and developing high-quality communication materials. The local experience will then be used later for policy development at a national level.
