Working closely with the Programme Director and the technical team, Advisor will supervises a team directly work with regional, district, and facility officials, as well as partner agencies to ensure that appropriate systems are in place and highly functioning, guaranteeing the appropriate flow of data and feedback loops. The Iringa Combination Prevention Study is a new high-profile multi-year USAID-funded program designed to evaluate the impact of scaled-up evidence-based sexual, biomedical and structural HIV prevention interventions. The MCHIP/Tanzania program, lead by Jhpiego, will oversee the implementation of the interventions associated with this study, including HIV counseling and testing, HIV care and treatment, PMTCT, voluntary medical male circumcision, home-based care, and strategic behavior change communication.
