The NGO Delegation to the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) is one of the oldest manifestations of the GIPA principle. Known as “the backbone of the NGO Delegation”, the mission of the Communication and Consultation Facility (CCF) is to bring forward the perspectives and expertise of people living with, affected by, most at risk of and vulnerable to HIV, as well as civil society, to ensure that UNAIDS is guided by a rights-based, equitable and gender-sensitive approach to guarantee access to comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment, care and support for all.

The CCF manager will be responsible for overall CCF work management and coordination, primarily liaising with the NGO Delegation on development and implementation of the Delegation annual work plans, ensuring a wider civil society input into the work of the Delegation, particularly PCB programme and policy decisions, and provide other technical support as needed (e.g. drafting of background documents, policy analysis, etc .), management of administration and logistical matters of the Delegation and CCF staff.
