ITPC HIV Collaborative Fund Project Manager for African regions
HIV Collaborative Fund
The HIV Collaborative Fund - a partnership of the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) and Tides Center - is seeking applicants to serve as Project Manager for the four funding regions in Africa. The Project Manager provider guidance and oversight to the ITPC/Collaborative Fund Regional Coordinators. This position would be a full-time one. Because of difficulties in putting someone on staff from Africa at US-based Tides Center, this position will either be created as a consultancy or through a contract at an existing organisation in Africa at which the Project Manager would be based. The location of the position would depend on the needs of the person hired and/or the organisation at which the position is based. However, because the job requires significant amounts of travel throughout the continent, the position will most likely be based in either Nairobi or Johannesburg. People living with HIV are encouraged to apply.

The Million Message March will ‘arrive’ on Human Rights Day, the 10th of December, at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) so that the messages can ‘Speak-Up’ and be heard at the top of the UN and its Member States.
