Copyright 2004 World Vision Inc. |  | Hector Jalipa is World Vision’s regional HIV/AIDS advisor for Africa. In this role since 2001, Jalipa provides leadership to all of World Vision’s AIDS programs in Africa, specifically through strategic program development, building donor relationships and developing the skills of World Vision’s HIV/AIDS staff throughout the continent.
After serving as chief of a small emergency hospital in the Philippines, Jalipa joined World Vision in 1980, coordinating with partner organizations to serve the medical needs of some 100,000 refugees in Thailand.
In 1986, Jalipa managed World Vision’s training department in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia before moving the following year to Maputo, Mozambique to manage World Vision’s health and nutrition programs there. During that time, Jalipa served on a USAID assessment team in Angola to investigate the needs and requirements of aid agencies for meaningful engagement in that country.
From 1992 to 1998, Jalipa coordinated World Vision’s health programs throughout Africa. In 1995, he served four months as a health and nutrition consultant with UNICEF in Somalia, coordinating the efforts of non-governmental organizations to meet UNICEF standards of performance.
For the next two years, Jalipa served as health advisor for all of World Vision’s health programs in Africa, taking responsibility for program development and strategy, building staff capacity and responding to health emergencies within the region.
Jalipa holds a bachelor of science degree from Silliman University in the Philippines, a doctor of medicine degree from the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, and a masters in public health from Harvard University.
