Job Details
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you.
For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
Background
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity approach, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action.
Children exposed to and living with HIV are a highly vulnerable group. The 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines[1] recommend that anyone diagnosed with HIV should begin antiretroviral treatment (ART) soon after diagnosis. This is especially important for infants and young children because delays in treatment can have long term consequences for their health and development. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is home to 85 per cent of all new paediatric HIV infections in the world. While many countries in SSA are working to scale up early infant diagnosis and paediatric treatment of HIV, coverage rates remain far below the global goal of 90 per cent by 2020. Limited availability and timely access to adequate HIV laboratory services to determine HIV status in infants and young children, and to monitor ART outcomes for children, women and other people living with HIV, remain major bottlenecks to effective roll out of the 2015 WHO guidelines. There is a particularly high risk of loss to follow up for HIV exposed infants during the postnatal/breastfeeding period and many of these vulnerable infants slip through the programme before a final determination of their HIV status can be made.
UNICEF is a leading and trusted partner in supporting governments in SSA to scale up early infant diagnosis (EID) and paediatric HIV. As part of this effort, UNICEF, along with other global partners, is on the forefront of introducing and rolling out new point of care technologies for EID and viral load monitoring in SSA as they become available to the market. UNICEF is supported by UNITAID to expand and accelerate the use of POC technology in both ESA and WCA regions.
