Project HOPE is currently seeking a Community Services & Linkage Manager to
support the USAID/Zambia funded Cooperative Agreement for Service Delivery for
Vulnerable Children and Adolescents (SDVCA) in Lusaka, Eastern, and Western
Zambia. The project will be implemented in partnership with Center for
infectious Disease Research Zambia (CIDRZ) and will accelerate and sustain HIV
epidemic control in Zambia through the delivery of high-impact HIV prevention,
care and support services to Vulnerable Children and Adolescents (VCA) and
their families. Project HOPE is a consortium sub-partner for CIDRZ, the prime
implementer of the 5 years USAID funded project.

The Lusaka, Eastern, and Western activity will focus on the identification of
VCA subpopulations at risk for HIV infection (e.g. children and adolescents

other risk factors), girls (aged 10-17 years) at risk of HIV infection, and
children and adolescents who are survivors of sexual violence) and will
support their access to and retention in HIV prevention, care, and treatment
services. The program will implement a case management system with clear
eligibility criteria, an evidence-informed package of services by
subpopulation, and graduation benchmarks. The Activity will seek to foster
community participation and innovative approaches to engage a broad range of
stakeholders and service providers to support sustainable activities for VCA
in the targeted provinces.
