Temporary Graphics and Communication Officer

Project HOPE Namibia (PHN), an established regional African NGO founded in 2004, brings extensive expertise in infectious diseases, maternal and child health, and economic strengthening. With a continental programmatic presence and over two decades of experience in public health implementation, PHN has a proven track record of managing PEPFAR-funded OVC & DREAMS projects in Namibia and Malawi. Notably, PHN served as USAID’s primary partner for OVC and DREAMS initiatives in Namibia from 2013 and 2018, respectively. PHN collaborates closely with local stakeholders, government ministries, and other partners to ensure programs are contextually relevant and well-supported.

PHN-MA, incorporated in Malawi in 2024, is actively engaged in the Ana ndi Achinyamata Patsogolo (ANAPA) project. This five-year initiative, valued at $60 million, was formerly funded by PEPFAR/USAID and is now under the US Department of State (DoS). Originally focused on preventing new HIV infections through increased access to health, HIV, and social services for children and adolescents, the project's objectives evolved following a stop-work order. The ANAPA project now centers on delivering life-saving HIV care and treatment services to vulnerable children.

As a member of the Africa Public Health Network (APHN), Project HOPE Namibia is seeking a qualified Temporary Graphics and Communication Officer to support the Ana ndi Achinyamata Patsogolo Activity (ANAPA) project.
