1 VACANCY POSITION GLOBAL FUND COORDINATING UNIT (GFCU) 1. POSITION TITLE : Technical Advisor, TB and HIV 2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE : Two (2) years, with the possibility of 3. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE : Maseru, Lesotho. STATEMENT OF WORK/POSITION DESCRIPTION : I. SCOPE OF WORK A. Introduction and Background: HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact on Lesotho and its health care system. An estimated 22.9% of the adult population (15 49 years) of Lesotho is living with HIV (about 360,000 people, including 37,000 children under age 15) which is the second highest prevalence in the world. For the past decade, adult HIV incidence has remained high. Women are disproportionally affected by the epidemic: prevalence among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics is 25.9%, and among women aged reaches as high as 40%. Lesotho also has the world s second highest tuberculosis (TB) prevalence and TB co infection is a significant challenge: 75% of those with active TB are HIV positive. The estimated TB mortality rate in HIV co infected patients was 250 per 100,000 in The Government of Lesotho (GOL) s national strategic plans for HIV and PMTCT present a comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs. In 2013, the 1

2 Ministry of Health (MOH) adopted a policy of lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all HIV positive pregnant women (Option B+). In July 2014, revised National ART Guidelines were launched which expand the definition of populations eligible for ART. Through leadership by the Government of Lesotho (GOL) and with the support of the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Lesotho has significantly scaled up HIV services from 17 sites in 2007 to 220 sites in AIDS related deaths have declined slowly since In 2015, the MOH took an aggressive approach to move from universal facility coverage (service access) to universal population coverage (service uptake). This shift is critical to reaching the epidemic s tipping point when the annual number of new infections falls below the annual net increase in people living with HIV (PLHIV) on ART. Reaching the tipping point is key to controlling the epidemic and reaching the UNAIDS 90/90/90 targets: 90% of PLHIV know their status, 90% of those diagnosed initiated on ART, and 90% of those on ART virally suppressed. The Ministry of Health is supported by partners to move the TB and HIV/AIDS agenda. Through the Support from the Global Fund, MOH will be implementation the integrated TB/HIV grant starting in July 2016 March 2018, with the focus on Sustainable Control of the Epidemic to support UNAIDS ambitious global goals. To achieve this ambitious goal, MOH will engage additional support to reach the ambitious targets.
