DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

Title: Biomedical/Biotechnical Engineer to support the redesigning of the BSL 2+ and PCR laboratory in Juba, South Sudan

Project name: Tuberculosis Control Programme and TB/HIV Collaborative Programme in South Sudan

Period of assignment/services: 15 January to 15 July 2014 including public holidays

BACKGROUND:

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was created to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world’s most devastating diseases, and to direct those resources to areas of greatest need. Since the Global Fund was founded in 2002, it has changed the way the world is working to defeat the three diseases. The Global Fund has supported large-scale prevention, treatment and care programmes against the three diseases. The Global Fund attracts, manages and disburses resources in a public-private partnership that will make sustainable and significant contribution to the reduction of mortality and morbidity caused by the three major diseases and contributing to the achievement of millennium development goals. To date, more than 3 million people are receiving antiretroviral treatment, 7.7 million new cases of infectious tuberculosis detected and treated, and more than 160 million insecticide-treated nets were distributed to protect families from transmission

UNDP is a key partner to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) and is the UN agency assuming the role of Principal Recipient of GFATM grants in South Sudan for TB and HIV/AIDS. In its role as Principal Recipient, UNDP ensures quality financial management, timely procurement of supplies, and efficient monitoring and service delivery. UNDP’s management role consists of implementing grants, ensuring financial accountability, and training of national and international counterparts on programme management, financial accountability and timely programmatic reporting to the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) and Global Fund (GF) Secretariat.

Round 5 TB/HIV and Round 7 TB grants are one of the projects managed by UNDP South Sudan with the overall goal of dramatically reducing the burden of tuberculosis in South Sudan, and as well decreasing the burden of TB amongst HIV patients and vise-versa.

One of the objectives of the Round 7 TB project is to detect multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB cases among patients on standard DOTS treatment. The accomplishment of this objective is ensured through rehabilitation of a TB Reference Laboratory that is capable of diagnosis of MDR TB and drug sensitivity testing (DST); strengthening the human capacities through training on culture and DST for TB and provision of quality assurance within and outside the country. The TB Reference Laboratory will be located within the premises and building of the Public Reference Laboratory of South Sudan. The main objective for the startup of the TB Reference Laboratory is to install ventilation system for the purpose of strengthening infection control measures in the tuberculosis reference laboratory.

The Round 5 TB/HIV project aims at establishing mechanisms for collaboration between TB and HIV/AIDS programmes, decreasing the burden of TB in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), and decreasing the burden of HIV/AIDS in TB patients.
