Division & Project Overview
URC
is seeking an experienced Capacity Building Advisor (CBA) to lead
organizational development and capacity strengthening of local partners
as they transition to directly receive and manage USG funds for the
anticipated USAID/Tanzania Comprehensive Community Cascade for Epidemic
Control Among Key and Vulnerable Population (CCC-KVP). The overall goal
of this project is to “support an integrated community platform of
services for KVP to reduce new HIV infections and sustainably improve
the quality of life for PLHIV.” The CCC-KVP project will focus on
increasing demand for and use of HIV and gender-based violence
prevention and family planning services for KVP and PLHIV, working with
and through community-based stakeholders, sub-national Government of
Tanzania authorities, health facilities, KVP, and PLHIV to reduce new
HIV infections, improve the quality of life for PLHIV, and improve other
reproductive health outcomes. Additionally, the CCC-KVP will further
strengthen capacity of local partners as they transition to receive and
independently manage funds from the USG. The CCC-KVP project will
implement activities in Iringa, Njombe, Kilimanjaro, Tabora, Morogoro,
Mbeya, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Singida, Mtwara, Shinyanga, Manyara,
Arusha, and Lindi.
