Organisatie

At Aidsfonds - Soa Aids Nederland, we strive for a world where there are no longer any deaths from AIDS and where people enjoy good sexual health. A world in which everyone can love freely and without fear. We do this by working together with the people who are hit hardest by HIV, STIs, discrimination and exclusion. We strengthen their voice and support them with information, knowledge, and funding. For all that is love. We are working on this in the Netherlands and in two regions, including the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region, and 10 countries worldwide.

Aidsfonds’ international department is responsible for funding community-led action to increase access to health and rights, as well as for conducting global advocacy towards these aims. The international department consists of an advocacy team, the secretariat of the Robert Carr Fund, and two programmatic teams: Key Populations and Children, Youth & Women. The international work is organized in projects with project leaders responsible for the implementation and budgetary management of their projects.

To join the key populations team we are looking for a Project assistant for 16-24 hours per week.

The project assistant will support the Eastern Europe and Central Asia portfolio. We provide short- and longer-term support to community organizations to address the unmet needs of key populations, strengthening community responses to HIV/AIDS and address the scarcity and fragmentation of the international funding for key populations in the region. In these projects Aidsfonds operates as involved fundraiser & funder, being the grant manager, fundraiser and co-coordinator of the diverse projects together with the local community organizations. The project assistant will work on the projects together with the project team.
