Technical Writer for Health and HIV/AIDS - Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

Ref:2010/27

Background:Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been involved in HIV and AIDS programming in Africa, Asia,and Latin America since 1986. Currently, CRS supports more than 250 HIV and AIDS projects (or mufti-sectoral projects with an HIV and AIDS component) reaching approximately four million people directly in 52 countries. CRS spent $197 million dollars on HIV and AIDS programming in FY2009 of which $49 million was spent in East Africa.

Our senior and regional technical advisors within the East Africa Region are often unable to adjust their existing schedules to take a Technical Lead in proposal development, therefore we are looking to build our network of external professional consultants for short-term assignments that can respond on short-notice with strong technical expertise and proposal writing skills for upcoming competitive proposals from major public donors such as the USG, Global Fund, and the CDC. Individual scope of work will be developed for each assignment.

Core Competencies:
  • Experts with a global view from around the world with a track record of developing successful HIV/AIDS proposals and/or technical expertise on gender.

  • HIV/AIDS program management experience/understanding (preferably in Africa) at the service delivery level, and international development and relief programs expert.
Interested consultants should submit their resumes and a coverletter outlining their relevant skills and experience to:
