Health
Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

Position Overview
Although there has been a significant decline in HIV incidence over the last two decades driven by increased treatment coverage and rollout of effective prevention interventions such as voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), numbers of new infections still far exceed global targets for epidemic control. There is a clear need for new product options and more effective delivery models that can rapidly increase the scale of prevention coverage. As potentially more acceptable, convenient and discreet options, long-acting PrEP products offer the opportunity to better meet the needs and preferences of end users. This includes lenacapavir (LEN), a six-monthly injection recently approved by the US FDA.

CHAI is currently working with a range of partners, including governments, communities, and the private sector to accelerate the development, introduction, and scale up of effective HIV prevention interventions, while strengthening health systems to support sustainable, resilient prevention responses.

The Technical Advisor will report to the HIV Prevention Associate Director. This role will contribute to several projects focused on introducing and scaling LEN in South East Asia. This role will support critical priorities including addressing key evidence gaps on delivery, cost, and impact, while catalysing government and donor financing for sustained and scaled LEN provision in both countries. Alongside these projects, the Technical Advisor will also support other relevant workstreams across the HIV team and ongoing and new fundraising efforts.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in relevant field, including (but not limited to) public policy, public health, global health, economics, business, pharmacy, social science or other science. Candidates with alternative educational background degrees are also encouraged to apply.

At least six years of working experience developing analytically rigorous analyses and forming insights into clear external deliverables, managing complex projects, and providing strategic guidance or supporting business strategy.

Experience in HIV, sexual and reproductive health, or other relevant public health area.

Meticulous work ethic and organization skills with the ability to simultaneously manage multiple complex tasks with a high degree of uncertainty, set priorities, and work independently with a strong attention to detail.

Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to efficiently conduct desk research, identify and consolidate key takeaways, and effectively translate insights based on target audience.

Strong interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills, with proven ability to build and maintain strong relationships in a diverse environment.

High level of proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word, including strong data visualization skills using these platforms or others.

Patience and thoughtfulness even in high-pressure, stressful situations.

Willingness and ability to travel (~40%)

BACKGROUND
The Project of Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry (DPI) in the ECOWAS is a regional undertaking conceived to support ECOWAS pharmaceutical institutions, with an overall goal to increase local manufacturing of essential drugs, medicines and vaccines that are of high quality, safe, effective, and meets the challenges of diseases and pandemics.

This project is supported by the African Development Bank in response to a request from the Commissioner for Industry and Private Sector Development of the ECOWAS.
The Project of Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry (DPI) Industry is a regional undertaking conceived to support ECOWAS pharmaceutical institutions, including the National Medicines Regulatory Authorities (NMRAs), National Quality Control Laboratories, and regional pharmaceutical
training institutions. This project is supported by the African Development Bank and aim to strengthen the pharmaceutical sector to boost local production of safe, quality, and affordable medicines and vaccines in the ECOWAS region to meet the healthcare services and needs of the population.

Gender gaps in the health workforce represent a global concern and are deeply embedded in institutional practices. Although women constitute approximately 67% of the health and social care workforce, they experience both vertical and horizontal segregation. Vertically, only 25% of health leadership roles are held by women. Horizontally, female-dominated occupations such as nursing and midwifery are
frequently associated with lower status, lower pay, and reduced prestige. This imbalance is further exacerbated by unequal access to education, pervasive gender stereotypes and social norms, discrimination, sexual harassment, and violence. Gender disparities is a cross-cutting issue that is particularly critical in the pharmaceutical sector where the influence of sex and gender on a wide range of health interventions, including pharmaceutical safety and efficacy profile of medical products are undeniable. Nevertheless, practice in pharmaceutical research and regulation remain are still widely insensitive, requiring initiatives to tackle gaps in the lack of regulation and enforcement, and incentives that encourage gender mainstreaming.

Therefore, as part of Component 3: Capacity Building and Systems Strengthening, the project includes targeted actions to promote gender mainstreaming and support increased participation of women, including policy development, capacity strengthening, and targeted support initiatives. Accordingly, WAHO is seeking for the services of an Individual Consultant to support the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the ECOWAS Pharmaceutical Project.

QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE, AND SKILLS
The consultant must have the following qualification and experience:

Have at least ten (10) years of experience in conducting gender mainstreaming initiatives in private and/or government institutions.

Master's Degree in a relevant field such gender studies, Public Health, Health Economics (with a gender focus)

Strong analytic skills.

Demonstrated ability to produce quality technical documents.

Good problem solving skills.

Familiarity with the pharmaceutical sector is an asset.

Good computer skills (MS Office applications, project procurement management tools, logistics management tools) and ability to use information technology as a tool and

resource.

Good organizational skills, high sense of integrity, and good interpersonal skills.

Proficiency in any ECOWAS working languages.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the international environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

Liberia has submitted its Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) to the UNFCCC, retaining its 64% emission reduction target against an updated business-as-usual baseline, with an unconditional reduction target of 5,551 GgCO₂e (10%) and a conditional reduction of 29,974 GgCO₂e (54 per cent) by 2035. To operationalise the NDC 3.0 ambition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia has requested technical support through the NDC Partnership to deliver two outputs: (i) a Revised NDC Implementation Plan, aligned with the updated NDC 3.0 targets, national policies and strategies, and relevant county climate action plans, and accompanied by sector-specific tracking tools; and (ii) an Updated NDC Investment Plan identifying priority interventions, financing needs, and viable resource-mobilisation pathways (national and international) to support NDC implementation.

The project will be delivered by UNEP in close collaboration with the EPA, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP), line ministries, and the NDC Partnership, using a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, with gender equality and social inclusion mainstreamed across all activities. Beyond this support under PAF, UNEP maintains an established presence and broader portfolio of support in Liberia, including long-standing engagement with the Government of Liberia through the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), as well as support to Liberia's electricity-sector investment planning delivered through the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The selected expert will be connected to this wider UNEP support in-country and will coordinate closely with UNEP's existing experts and teams in Liberia to maximise synergies across the organisation's engagement.
