About this Job

Deloitte has been awarded a contract to Strengthen Regional, National, and sub-national Institutional capacities to sustainably combat HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program will run for five (5) years and will be funded by the American People through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The program intends to strengthen the capabilities of host country governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to plan, manage, and monitor sustainable programs and systems to respond to HIV, TB, and other diseases and conditions of public health concern. As countries reach HIV epidemic control, a key priority is sustaining low levels of HIV incidence while supporting greater country ownership and management, facilitating the transition of programs to local oversight, and strengthening financial, operational, technical, and programmatic controls.
