Position Title: IT Programmer Consultant

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Linkages Across the Continuum of HIV Services for Key Populations Affected by HIV – or “LINKAGES” – is USAID’s first global project dedicated to key populations (KPs). LINKAGES aims to accelerate the ability of partner governments, key population civil society organizations and the private sector to more effectively plan, deliver and optimize comprehensive, scaled HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services that reduce HIV transmission among KPs and their sexual partners and improve the quality of life for those who are HIV positive.

LINKAGES is led by FHI 360, in partnership with Pact, IntraHealth International, and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. The project also taps into and amplifies local capacity for long-term sustainability and country ownership of key population programming. To that end, LINKAGES engages a diverse array of experienced organizations and special experts already working with key populations in Indonesia. LINKAGES prioritizes programming that aligns with PEPFAR 3.0’s five key agendas – impact, efficiency, sustainability, partnership and human rights – to achieve global 90-90-90 goals, sustainable programming, and an AIDS-free generation.

In Indonesia, the project contributes directly to the targets identified in the National AIDS Commission’s National Strategy and Action Plan (SRAN), 2015-2019 and the Ministry of Health (MOH) HIV National Action Plan. Our success is intricately tied to the efforts of the national program, which is led by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National AIDS Commission (NAC), and largely funded by the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Accordingly, LINKAGES focuses its resources on two priority areas – Jakarta and Papua – where the potential for epidemic control is greatest. Under the leadership of the GOI, we also advance technical innovations that are evidence-based, but may not yet be enshrined in policy or practice.
