Job Title : Project Coordinator (PC)

Report to : NOLFOWOP Program Coordinator

Background :

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded Catholic Relief Services (CRS) cooperative agreement grant (AID-624-A-14-00004) to implement the Key Interventions to Develop Systems and Services for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (KIDSS) project funded under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Over a five-year period (2014-2019), the KIDSS project is addressing the challenges of sustainable care and support to OVC. Through the KIDSS project, CRS is strengthening the capacities of the Government of the Republic of Cameroon (GRC), civil society, communities, and households to care and support Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC).

In response to the PEPFAR 3.0 strategic alignment to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 global targets, KIDSS geographic and programmatic scope was amended in the Country Operational Plan (COP) FY 2015. KIDSS was directed to focus on priority HIV services for OVC in the PEPFAR priority health districts of Djoungolo in Yaoundé and Deido in Douala and two sustained health districts of Nkolndongo in Yaoundé and Bamenda, with an overall goal of increasing the rate of “new on antiretroviral therapy (ART)”.

Through the revised KIDSS project, CRS will improve capacities of GRC, community networks, civil society organizations (CSOs), and the Archdioceses of Yaoundé, Douala, and Bamenda, and OVC families/caregivers to ensure the continuum of prevention, care, support, and treatment for OVC.

The Project Coordinators (PC) will be based at each of the three targeted archdioceses of Yaounde, Douala and Bamenda and CSOs and will be primarily responsible for overseeing and supporting quality implementation of service delivery.  They also oversee administration and financial management and make strategic decisions regarding the organization. The PC of the Church partners supervises the Case Management Coordinators (CMC), ECD/Adolescent Service Officer (ECD/Adolescent SO) and Household Economic Strengthening Services Officers(HES SO)and oversee the recruitment of community volunteers to provide services to OVC and their families. The PC of CSO supervises the Case Management Coordinators who in tend supervise all case workers.
