VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SHORT TERM TECHNICAL CONSULTANT AT YOUTH FOR HEALTH CENTER NGO
ABOUT SKPA-2 PROGRAM
“Youth for Health Center” (YFHC) is a community based, non-governmental organization that has been leading community response to HIV in Mongolia for over 20 years. YFHC is currently a subrecipient (SR) and implementing country partner of Sustainability of HIV Services for Key Populations in Asia (SKPA)-2 Program.
The SKPA-2 initiative is a three-year, multi-country grant, funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GF), spanning from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025. Its overarching goal is to enhance the sustainability of evidence-informed, prioritized HIV services for key populations across Bhutan, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
One of the core objectives of SKPA-2 is to accelerate the financial sustainability of HIV services for key populations. As part of this effort, SKPA-2 has provided technical support to YFHC in obtaining a license to operate a clinic. The next critical step is to prepare for accreditation. However, YFHC has limited experience in managing a registered clinic. Therefore, it is proposed to engage an experienced and qualified accreditation expert to provide guidance and support during the early stages of clinic operation.
