Overview : As the lead agency on human rights and law within the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), UNDP supports countries to create an enabling human rights environment, promote gender equality, and address HIV-related stigma and discrimination. To promote and advocate for human rights based approaches, UNDP supports initiatives to promote access to justice, legislative review and reform, and enforcement of protective laws and anti-stigma initiatives. Within the UNAIDS Division of Labour (DoL), UNDP is the co-convenor of the UNAIDS Inter-Agency Working group on “key populations.” The HIV key populations are sex workers (SWs), men who have sex with men (MSM), people who use drugs (PWUDs), and transgender people (TGs). UNDP also co-convenes (with UNFPA and UN Women) the DoL on women, girls, gender equality and HIV, with a particular concern for its intersection with key populations. UNDP participates in the UNAIDS Reference Group on Human Rights, and participates in the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) Reference Group on Human Rights. Additionally, UNDP works with partners in supporting efforts at better governance for better health at the city level.
Consequently, UNDP’s HIV, Health & Development Group is recruiting a human rights consultant to support UNDP’s work on HIV key populations, gender, and rights. The objective of this consultancy is to provide research, analytical, and writing support to the HIV, Health and Development group in its efforts to address the development dimensions of HIV and health. This consultancy will focus on support to building enabling environments and addressing human rights concerns of HIV key populations and women affected by HIV.
