2. Design for Adult Learners, using human-centered, participatory learning principles grounded in African contexts.

3. Translate Complex Concepts into accessible and visually engaging learning resources, while preserving the scientific and political integrity of the content.

7. Co-develop a design solution that accommodates budget-friendly updates to the curriculum in future.

You or your team must have

• A demonstrated understanding of Pan-African politics, decolonial health narratives, and HIV advocacy.

• A portfolio that shows the ability to combine design excellence with political clarity and emotional resonance.

• Familiarity with public health, community engagement, or clinical research is an added advantage,  but not a requirement.

• Fluency in designing for multiple formats (print, digital, mobile).

• Commitment to collaborative, feedback-driven working relationships.

What We Offer

• A chance to shape how science is translated into power.

• Creative partnership and meaningful collaboration.

• Recognition across our networks and publications.
