Overview
The VMMC Program Lead will work collaboratively with the Principal Investigator/Project Director to provide overall project leadership, management and staff oversight in all aspects of the upcoming Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/PEPFAR-funded voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) project in Tanzania. The VMMC Program Lead will provide leadership and management support with direct oversight of the project’s technical and regional team members to improve the capacity of the Government of Tanzania (GoT) at national, regional and district levels for long term sustainability of VMMC services in CDC supported regions. This large-scale project aims to support the GoT in improving health outcomes and reducing new HIV infections by saturating VMMC services in low coverage regions, improving VMMC services uptake for males > 15 years including targeted high-risk groups for greater impact on HIV incidence reduction. The project will operate over a 5-year period.
The position will operate with oversight from the PI/Project Director within the Jhpiego’s senior management team, and will ensure strategic planning, technical oversight and methodological soundness of all project activities. The position will meet and collaborate closely with the donor (CDC), GoT stakeholders and other VMMC and PEPFAR IPs to ensure strong collaboration on existing programming and linkages to other HIV programming. The position will be responsible for developing demand creation and technical strategies and approached to meet key donor assigned targets, and implement project activities to achieve national, PEPFAR and international standards (e.g. age pivot, reporting AEs, and PEPFAR technical standards). With an emphasis on government led programming, in collaboration with project team and partners, the position will support the government of Tanzania through the National AIDS Control Program and R/CHMTs to design and implementation of service delivery strategies based on international scientific evidence, country context based best practices, and PEPFAR standards, policies and procedures. In the absence of the PI, the VMMC Program Lead will be required to undertake the responsibilities of that position on a temporary basis.
