Individual Contract Terms of Reference Consultancy Title:PLHIV Forum Clinical FacilitatorApplication Deadline:6th September 2018 (11.59pm Fiji Time)Project Name:Multi-Country Western Pacific Integrated HIV/TB ProgrammeDuty Station:The consultant will be required to work remotely home based for 6 days and to be present in Nadi, Fiji for 3 days.Post Level:National / International ConsultantLanguages required:EnglishDuration of the Contract:Contract period: 17th September 1st November 2018Number of working days: 9 days (3 days in countrysion (95%), with varying shares of heterosexual versus male-to-male transmission between sub-regions (for example, Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia) and countries within sub-regions.
