Purpose Of The Post

To provide technical support to the NACP/MoHS, the National AIDS Secretariat and other stakeholders in Sierra Leone to strengthen the Health Sector Response to HIV in order to reduce new infections, reduce AIDS-related deaths and eliminate HIV related stigma & discrimination to reach ambitious national targets as stipulated in the National Strategic Plan (NSP) on HIV and AIDS 2021-2025. To support adaptive strategies to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV prevention and control and to meet the Global Fund targets.

Objectives of the Programme and of the immediate unit or field activity (Overview of the programme):

HIV prevention and care is considered part of the Sierra Leone Basic Package of Essential Health Services, (BPEHS), and ATM is one of several portfolios of the BPEHS Cluster at the WHO Country Office. The overall objective of the national HIV prevention and control efforts is to reduce new infections, ensure that 90% of people living with HIV know their status, 90% are on treatment, and 90% of those on treatment attain viral suppression – UNAIDS 90-90-90 – as part of the global efforts to ‘END AIDS’ by 2030. For Sierra Leone, this will mean having a strong national Health Sector Response at the core of the multi-sectoral response; and taking HIV out of isolation by ensuring that HIV is part and parcel of the national Health Sector recovery efforts and building resilient and sustainable health systems which are HIV sensitive.
