USAID’s Kenya HIV Private Sector Project Job Vacancy

This anticipated two-year, $1-3.99 million USAID/Kenya HIV Private Sector project will engage private sector stakeholders to improve public health efforts in Kenya to help people who are at risk of HIV, living with the disease, or otherwise affected by it.


Kenya has made tremendous strides towards an AIDS-free generation and reaching the 90-90-90 targets, but additional gains in HIV service and resource provision can be achieved by leveraging the private sector to alleviate the overburdened public sector.

Private sector engagement further contributes to overall public health efforts by ensuring long-term sustainability of HIV response.

In doing so, the Kenya HIV Private Sector project will increase the likelihood of both private and public sector entities to achieve their missions and amplify their reach within Kenya to expand HIV care and treatment.

The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya.

We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
