orphans and vulnerable children in Cameroon (COSMO) in
Cameroon since 2023.
The COSMO Project aims to provide holistic and sustainable care
to orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) by strengthening
the capacities of the Government of the Republic of
Cameroon (GRC), civil society organizations, communities
and households to provide
quality care and support to children and their families infected and affected
by HIV.
The COSMO project is currently working in
partnership/collaboration with local implementing partners
, the Cameroonian Government and other stakeholders
to reach OVC and their families in at least
68 health districts across the 10 regions of Cameroon. The
program includes prevention and case-finding activities
for OVC, community support

to enable linkage to care for
infected children and adolescents as well as to improve retention of
children and adolescents living with HIV who have been enlisted
for care and treatment.
The COSMO/Diocese of BAFIA project is therefore seeking to
recruit qualified personnel to serve as DATA ENTRY.
