Job ID.: 2206685
Location: Abuja
Schedule: Full-time
Grade: No grade
Contractual Arrangement: Special Services Agreement (SSA)
Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 5 Months
Organization: AF_NGA Nigeria

Background and Justification

  • The Nigeria’s National AIDS Incidence and Impact survey in 2018 (NAIIS) revealed a national HIV prevalence of 1.3% (1.8% among females, 1.0% among males), identified State specific burden, and key drivers of the epidemic hence the review of the National Strategy.  Building on the existing strategy which had the “treat all strategy” and ART optimization as a fulcrum, the National Treatment and PMTCT programme (NTPP) was re-established with a 3-prong approach to; strengthen health sector coordination, fast track HIV treatment and build capacity towards universal health coverage and sustainability.
  • To implement the NTPP, various initiatives were commissioned such as; the surge capacity project which aims to actively find new PLHIV and put them on treatment in states which contributes > 50% of the national unmet treatment needs; adoption and implementation of Differentiated Service Delivery encompassing community HIV services which brings the services closer to the people, improves PLHIV service experiences and ultimately improve patient’s retention in care and reduce the burden on the health systems; clinical HIV mentorship programme to facility level health workers to strengthen service delivery capacity, the Global fund and PEPFAR alignment project among others. These efforts are yielding result as currently, 93 % of PLHIV know their status, 96% are on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and 89% are virally suppressed (GAM 2021). However, despite the gains, prevention of mother-to child transmission (PMTCT) and pediatrics HIV coverages remains abysmally low at 44% and 45% respectively.
  • Following the release of the new Global AIDS Strategy 2021 to 2026: which highlights eliminating mother to child transmission of HIV and ending AIDS among children as one of the global priorities, the GON, requested WHO’s support to address the PMTCT and Paediatrics HIV Issues in the country.
  • The FMOH continue to work with the UN, PEPFAR/GF and other stakeholders to address the PMTCT and Pediatrics HIV performance adopting various approaches and innovations. In view of this, National PMTCT, Pediatrics and adolescent HIV scale-up plan were developed to chart a course of action.
  • WHO Nigeria seeks technical support to work on these areas. The consultant will provide support to the implementation and scale up of PMTCT and Pediatrics strategies and activities to address the PMTCT and Pediatrics HIV low service coverage.
  • This will require the development of national guidance, tools and reports based on evidence and WHO recommendations and on providing support to the implementation of such programmes.
