About Ariel Glaser Foundation

The Foundation works with the Ministry of Health (MISAU), the National Directorate of Military Health (DNSM), under the Ministry of National Defense, and the Military Health Department of the General Staff of the FADM (DSM-EMG/FADM), funded by DHAPP/DoD.

The team supports the Defense sector's healthcare network — hospitals, health centers, military medical posts, and training centers — with technical advisory, in-service capacity building, and operational support, benefiting military personnel, dependents, and surrounding communities.

The program is temporary and has a planned exit design: as external assistance reduces, local teams assume service areas.

What you will do

In the area of prevention, you will lead the design, adaptation to the military environment, implementation, and quality assurance of combination prevention interventions, HTS, PrEP, PEP, self-testing, contact testing, linkage to treatment, enhanced adherence counseling, and active tracking of defaulters in military health facilities.

In parallel, you will coordinate civil-military interoperability: ensuring workflows between Military Health, MISAU, DPS/SPS, SDSMAS, and civil units operate in an articulated manner, without duplications.

• Adapt MISAU national guidelines, DHAPP/PEPFAR standards, and FADM READY requirements for military hospitals, medical posts, training centers, barracks, and deployment areas, with simple, practical, and ownership-friendly operating procedures for teams.
• Lead targeted high-yield testing at priority entry points: triage, inpatient wards, clinical consultations, ANC/CCR, incorporation campaigns, military recruitment, and targeted actions in barracks.
• Strengthen voluntary testing of partners, sexual contacts, and biological children of index cases, respecting the 5Cs — consent, confidentiality, counseling, correct results, and linkage to services — with systematic screening for gender-based violence.
• Expand and qualify navigation for oral PrEP, long-acting injectable PrEP when national guidelines permit, PEP for occupational or accidental exposures, HIV self-testing, and distribution of condoms and other materials.
• Coordinate with the pharmacy and laboratory to ensure continuous availability of rapid tests, HIVST kits, prevention materials, and recording instruments, without stockouts at health facilities and advanced posts.
• Ensure that all clients diagnosed with HIV are linked to ART on the same day, with assisted referral, psychosocial support, stigma reduction, and outcome documentation.
• Standardize and supervise enhanced adherence counseling (EAC) for clients with high viral load, integrating Undetectable = Untransmittable literacy, barrier analysis, and individual adherence plans.
• Develop therapeutic continuity strategies for deployments, maneuvers, and extended missions: confidential transfer notes, MMD, and protected remote contact.
• Apply Directly Observed Treatment only when clinical guidelines indicate for TB/TPT, and prohibit practices that expose serostatus to peers or command.
• Establish the weekly routine of active defaulter tracking — extraction, validation, and follow-up — with support hotlines and mitigation of turnover, via minimum skill redundancy per facility and structured mentoring.
• Ensure complete, legible, and error-free completion of primary HTS, contact testing, PrEP/PEP, EAC, active tracking, GBV, and ART linkage instruments.

Transition in your technical area

In your technical area, you will operationalize the institutional transition model aligned with the OCA, readiness traffic light system, and MilSID principles: prevention, testing, and adherence support packages will integrate into the permanent routines of military facilities and FADM command and health structures, with guaranteed confidentiality, civil-military interoperability, and institutional ownership after external assistance is reduced.

Conditions

Based in Maputo, with frequent travel — about 40 to 50% of the time — including remote military facilities or restricted access areas. Remuneration is not disclosed in the announcement: to be agreed upon with the Foundation. Position for national quota.
