UNAIDS Special Youth Programme

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

The UNAIDS Special Youth Programme seeks to recruit young people aged 20-24

years, from developing countries with some programme experience in HIV-related

issues to join UNAIDS for a 9-month remunerated fellowship. The fellowship is

divided into two phases. Upon satisfactory performance of the initial fellowship

phase in UNAIDS Geneva, a continued phase in the UNAIDS country office (UCO) in

the fellow's country of origin will be arranged.

The programme seeks to achieve the following objectives:

* To create opportunities at appropriate levels of the organisation

to engage youth in policy development and programming;

* To help build the capacity of young people and strengthen their

leadership skills to contribute to the AIDS response, especially at the country

level;

* To sensitise both young people and UNAIDS staff on various

modalities of working together to address issues related to HIV,

particularly youth concerns, gender, GIPA and human rights.

All applications have to be sent by email to syp@... by 5 March 2009.

Young people living with HIV are especially encouraged to apply.
