UNAIDS Vacancy: Project Coordinator on Fast Track to end AIDS by 2030
As a signatory to the SDGs, Indonesia has made a national commitment to achieving the SDGs which include the commitment to End AIDS by 2030. UNAIDS’s Fast Track approach was launched as a strategy for accelerating the response, and ensuring achievement of the SDGs. The Fast Track approach sets ambitious targets for 2020: 90% of people living with HIV know their HIV status; 90% of people who know their HIV-positive status are on treatment; 90% of people on treatment have suppressed viral loads; and Zero discrimination.
In the last four years, Indonesia has fittingly launched polices that are designed to massively accelerate and expand access to HIV prevention, testing and treatment services for key populations and pregnant women, among others, and implement high-impact interventions in prioritised geographies.
