JOB VACANCIES ANNOUNCEMENT

Community Concern of Orphans and Development Association COCODA is a non-
governmental organization established in 2000. COCODA’s establishment as its
name suggests, resulted from intensifying concern among community members in
Njombe over the surging number of orphans, mainly as a consequence to swelling
amount of people infected by HIV and dying from AIDS, majority being adults
leaving behind young children without parents. This trend had a negative
impact on social and economic development. Hence COCODA envisioned to offer
effective response to the situation through providing education to local
community on HIV/ AIDS, supporting orphans and most vulnerable children,
providing vocational skills to youth and establishment of small-scale income
generating groups for community sustainable economy.

U.S. Agency for International Development USAID which is dedicated to
achieving and maintaining HIV epidemic control. It is led by FHI 360 as prime
and has a five-year period of performance from April 15, 2019 to April 14,
2024.

TC, Njombe DC, Makambako TC, Wanging’ombe DC, Ludewa DC and Makete DC to
