USAID Project Management HIV/AIDS Specialist Jobs in Uganda

USAID/Uganda is seeking for qualified individuals to fill the Project Management Specialist (HIV/AIDS) position located in the USAID/Uganda’s Office of Health and HIV (OHH) – HIV & TB Unit.

The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) represents the US government response to the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history.

Thanks to American leadership and generosity, alongside the work of many partners, PEPFAR has saved millions of lives, averted millions of infections, and changed the course of the epidemic.

As countries progress towards HIV/AIDS epidemic control, the point at which new HIV infections have decreased and fall below the total number of deaths among HIV-infected individuals, PEPFAR is now undertaking the challenge of controlling the pandemic.

The Project Management Specialist (HIV/AIDS) (the “Specialist”) will support planning, implementation, program and activity design, budgeting, and monitoring of HIV/AIDS projects.

The Specialist will provide programmatic and technical guidance and assist in the development and management of HIV-related programs. The Specialist will work collaboratively with other staff in the Health Office, other offices in the Mission, the Ministry of Health, and other development partners to support a coordinated, strategic approach to various HIV/AIDS-related programming.

The Specialist will support the implementation of the planning of new activities design; help Project Design Teams in drafting acquisition and assistance-related documents; develop project financial documents, revisions, and/or amendments; and generate reports on the status of project activities and finances including projection of expenditures, quarterly accrual of expenditures, and status reports. The Specialist will also Review project expense vouchers for completeness and accuracy.

The Specialist will serve as an in-house subject matter expert on HIV/AIDS and the Mission’s representative in policy, strategic and technical engagements with the host country government, international and bilateral organizations, and donor agencies to address technical issues and coordinate efforts in implementation of HIV/AIDS activities.

The Specialist reports to the Deputy HIV & TB Unit-Prevention Sub-unit Lead and has no supervisory responsibility.
