1. Background
The Sustainability of HIV Services for Key Populations in Southeast Asia (SKPA-2) program aims
to improve the sustainability of evidence-informed, prioritized HIV services for key populations in
Bhutan, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
SKPA-2 is a three-year program funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and
Malaria for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025. Health Equity Matters is the Principal
Recipient and works with local sub-recipients in each country. In Bhutan Save the Children is the
sub-recipient and is implementing SKPA-2 in collaboration with the National HIV/AIDS Control
Program of the Ministry of Health, key populations organizations including Pride Bhutan, and other
stakeholders.

This project is aimed to ensure that the barriers to sustainable HIV and related services are
removed or minimized and that the most affected communities or Key Populations (KP) including
those living with HIV are meaningfully engaged as partners in their national HIV response. There
are four program objectives:
1. Accelerate financial sustainability
2. Improve strategic information availability and use
3. Promote programmatic sustainability
4. Remove human rights and gender-related barriers to services.
Some of the key activities being implemented in Bhutan towards achieving these objectives
include the implementation and institutionalization of Community-Led Monitoring (CLM), and
phased implementation of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). Building capacities of key population
and health workers, advocacy and sensitization programs, and implementing feedback
mechanisms have also been planned. Additionally, some assessments reviews, and activities to
address violence and stigma faced by key populations are being implemented. Many of these
activities are implemented in collaboration with key population organizations including Pride
Bhutan.

To support Pride Bhutan in the implementation of these activities and other related activities, Save
the Children Bhutan is looking to recruit a Project Officer to be based at Pride Bhutan.
The recruitment for this position is expected to improve Pride Bhutan's capacity for quality project
delivery and to help boost the organization's profile as a trusted HIV program implementer and
develop a track record for future funding opportunities. This will ultimately contribute to the
sustainability of the organization and LGBT community-led HIV programming in Bhutan.
