CARE in Vietnam is looking for experienced and qualified candidates to fill in two Monitoring and Evaluation Officers for the HIV/AIDS project.
Project information:
Pathways for Participation: Strengthening the Civil Society Response to HIV in Vietnam Project (PfP) is a PEPFAR funded project being implemented in partnership by CARE International in Viet Nam (CVN) and Research Triangle Institute (RTI).
PfP aims to place people living with and affected by HIV at the centre of the response in Vietnam. PfP works with civil society organisations (CSOs) representing most at risk populations (MARP’s) including injecting drug users (IDUs) and their sexual partners, male and female sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men (MSM), and people living with HIV (PLHIV).
PfP focuses activities in three core program tracks:
1. Organisational and technical capacity building of CSOs delivered through ‘local capacity building agencies’ (LCBLAs);
2. Supporting CSO’s to develop and deliver standards based models for HIV prevention and care services through the provision of grants and technical support;
3. Facilitating CSOs to engage in advocacy and policy dialogue with the Government of Viet Nam on HIV related legal and health policy issues.
Through this program of activities, PfP will institutionalise the engagement of CSOs and the MARPs/PLHIV they represent in the design and delivery of services and programs needed to prevent and mitigate HIV.
