Health Project Proposal Writer - HIV Awareness, Education, and Prevention Program

Save to Favorites

The Centre for Youth and Sustainable Development (CYSD) is a grassroots, community-based organization working in the Southwest region of Cameroon. Since 2019, we have been at the forefront of improving the lives of vulnerable and displaced populations through education, health outreach, youth empowerment, and community development initiatives. Our commitment to combating the spread and stigma of HIV has been a central part of our health programming.

CYSD is seeking a volunteer Health Project Proposal Writer with experience in designing and writing health-related grant proposals, especially those focused on HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and prevention. This volunteer will help us develop a comprehensive and fundable proposal for our upcoming HIV Awareness, Education, and Prevention Program, aimed at increasing testing uptake, reducing stigma, and educating rural communities about HIV transmission and treatment options.

The volunteer will:

• Work remotely and understand the context and goals of the program.

• Collaborate with our team to gather relevant data, program goals, past project outcomes, and community needs.

• Write a high-quality proposal that includes a problem statement, objectives, activities, monitoring and evaluation plan, and budget overview.

• Align the proposal with donor requirements and funding priorities, particularly in public health or HIV-focused grants.

• Submit a final editable version of the proposal to CYSD for review and submission.

• Demonstrated experience in writing successful health-related proposals (particularly in HIV/AIDS programs).

• Strong research, writing, and communication skills.

• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.

• Understanding of global health issues, especially in low-resource or conflict-affected settings, is an added advantage.

The expected timeline for the proposal writing is 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the volunteer’s availability and project scope.

• Receive a Letter of Appreciation and Certificate of Service upon completion of the proposal.

• Gain experience working with a grassroots organization in a real-world public health context.

• Be part of a life-saving project that has a direct impact on vulnerable communities.

• Recognition on our organization’s social media platforms and official website (optional, based on volunteer consent).

Interested volunteers are invited to send:

• A short cover letter expressing interest and relevant experience

• A sample of previous work (preferably a health-related proposal)

• A current CV or LinkedIn profile
