- Description
- The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the U.S. Government initiative to help save the lives of those impacted by HIV/AIDS around the world - is the largest commitment by any nation in history to combat a single disease internationally. Working in over 50 countries, PEPFAR has saved and improved millions of lives, prevented millions of HIV infections, and changed the course of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. PEPFAR is driven by a shared responsibility among donor and partner nations and others to make smart investments to save lives. Thanks in large part to U.S. leadership, tremendous progress has been made in the fight against global AIDS. Now in Phase Three: Focusing on Sustainable Control of the Epidemic, PEPFAR is focused on the ambitious Joint UN Programs for HIV/AIDS 95-95-95 global goals: 95 percent of people living with HIV know their status, 95 percent of people who know their status are accessing treatment, and 95 percent of people on treatment have suppressed viral loads by 2025. Looking ahead to 2030 and beyond, PEPFAR envisions a future where the majority of HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs are led and delivered by national governments or other domestic entities, with active community engagement and strong government accountability. The West Africa PEPFAR Regional Coordinator leads the USG PEPFAR inter-agency team in West Africa in the conception, formulation, and implementation of evidence-based interventions in response to the epidemiological profile in West Africa. Specifically, s/he will: Coordinate the development and submission of the two-year ROPs for West Africa 1, including in-country consultations prior to ROP approval, reprogramming actions and other processes or inputs into reporting systems in collaboration with the various USG teams in West Africa. Ensure that the various PEPFAR country programs fit within the regulations of their national governments and align with PEPFAR and international policies. Communicate USG policy and technical direction to implementing agency leadership. Coordinate and facilitate the inter-agency approach to PEPFAR within the USG. Coordinate and facilitate the restructuring and harmonization of goals, objectives, plans and schedules to align with policy, legislation, program authority, and/or funding with PEPFAR implementing agencies. Facilitate discussion with the inter-agency team regarding determinations of projects to be initiated, dropped, or curtailed. Monitor and facilitate changes in implementing agencies� organizational structure. Facilitate inter-agency strategic decision-making to ensure program sustainability in the following areas: country ownership, institutional ownership, and mutual accountability. Analyze the unique operational context of the PEPFAR programs in the region. Coordinate the inter-agency process to establish a vision and strategy within the guidelines of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) policy and U.S. diplomatic priorities.
