EGPAF JOBS IN UGANDA MARCH 2013


The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is a global leader in the fight against pediatric HIV and AIDS, working in 17 countries and at 4,700 sites around the world to prevent the transmission of HIV to children, and to help those already infected.
Today, because of the highly successful work of the Foundation and its partners, pediatric AIDS has been virtually eliminated in the United States.
With a growing global staff of nearly 1,300—nine of 10 who work in the field—the Foundation’s global mission is to implement prevention, care, and treatment; further advance innovative research; and to execute strategic and targeted global advocacy activities to bring dramatic change to the lives of millions of women, children, and families worldwide.
The Foundation has received funding from USAID/Uganda for a five year cooperative agreement in 13 districts in the south-western region of Uganda with the goal of increasing access to, coverage of and utilization of quality comprehensive tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services.
The STAR SW project has four main objectives:
1. To strengthen decentralized HIV/TB service delivery system, with emphasis on health center IVs, IIIs and community outreaches.
2. To improve quality and efficiency of HIV/TB services within health facilities and Community Service Organizations /groups.
3. To strengthen networks and referrals systems to improve access to, coverage of and utilization of HIV/TB services.
4. To intensify demand generation activities for HIV/TB prevention, care and treatment service.
The STAR-SW project will provide a comprehensive service package of HIV counseling and testing (HCT), prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT), HIV/AIDS chronic care services, HIV/TB collaborative services, community based directly observed TB treatment-short course (CB-DOTS); and antiretroviral treatment (ART) for both ARV-naïve people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) and the transitioned TREAT supported PLHIV currently receiving ART.
This program will foster the development of strong partnerships with other district-based TB and HIV/AIDS programs in each of the regions in order to improve coordination; expand the referral network; and ensure more efficient use of resources.
