Hivos is a non-governmental organization inspired by humanist values. Our
mission is to contribute to the
creation of a free, fair and sustainable world, in which men and women have
equal access to resources and opportunities for development and can actively
and equally participate in decision-making processes, which determine their

lives, society and future.  

Hivos has an
extensive 40-year track record in strengthening civil society groups and can
-as a broad development organization- explain the relationship between HIV and
other sectors. In its HIV policy interventions, Hivos believes that everyone has the
right to care, information and prevention. One of the main pillars of the work
of Hivos is the desire to enhance access to power and means. Hivos wants to
promote free choices, citizenship and democracy. In the case of HIV Aids, this
will require more than treatment and behaviour change. Hivos would also need a
stigma-free environment and good quality services, so that people with different
sexual identities and HIV can actually make healthy choices without fear,
stigma, discrimination and taboos. The above-mentioned record of accomplishment has,
amongst other things, led to Hivos to be principal recipient of in many
countries of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. In this
role, Hivos has been able to realize its main goals, to mobilize vulnerable
groups and to increase their access to resources and citizenship.

For its
Hivos Southeast Asia (Hivos SEA) seeks qualified Filipinos candidates for the

Functional

As part of its 2012-2016 strategy, the
Global Fund (GF) has transitioned to the New Funding Model (NFM) in 2014. This
model requires countries to transition to inclusive health sector governance
via a country or regional dialogue process.

Engaging with the non-public sector
(private providers and civil society) is essential to the inclusiveness
requirements of the NFM. KNCV and its partners, AFEW, Hivos and PharmAccess are
working together to develop a model that enables effective partnerships between
(local) governments, private health care providers (PHCP) and civil society
organizations and promote inclusive health governance. We aim to improve access
to services of keys populations, reduce HIV/AIDS/TB co-morbidity and enhance participation
of key-populations in decision-making, implementation and monitoring of HIV and
TB services. For the development of such we undertook a mapping of
key-processes and –actors in three pilot countries, which are Kazakhstan,
Nigeria, and Philippines.
