Length of contract: Temporary/ Fixed-term

Health Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR)

Background
Ipas works globally to improve access to safe abortion and contraception so that every woman and girl can determine her own future.
The WISH Dividend Operations Research study in Somalia seeks to generate operational evidence on how post-abortion care (PAC) is delivered, documented and experienced in public and private health facilities. The study will examine provider practices, facility readiness, client experiences, documentation systems and the factors affecting reporting through routine health information systems, including facility registers and DHIS2-related reporting processes.
The study responds to important evidence gaps in Somalia, including:

Limited empirical evidence on Post abortion care quality and integration within EmONC services;
Inconsistent documentation across public and private facilities;
Legal and policy ambiguity affecting provider decision-making; and
Stigma that may influence care-seeking, service delivery and routine reporting.
Findings are expected to inform ongoing project adjustments, provider capacity strengthening, operational guidance, policy dialogue and improved integration of PAC within routine maternal health services.
Given the sensitivity of the topic and the operational complexity of implementing research in Somalia, a Study Coordinator is required to provide day-to-day technical, ethical, logistical and quality assurance support for implementation. The coordinator will work closely with Ipas, IRC, Ministry of Health counterparts, local data collectors, facility focal persons and study investigators to ensure that study activities are completed safely, ethically, on schedule and to the required quality standard.

Objective of the Consultancy
The overall objective of this consultancy is to coordinate implementation of the Somalia PAC operations research study, ensuring high-quality, ethical and timely execution of study preparation, MOH and field coordination, data collection oversight, data management support, analysis inputs, reporting and dissemination.

The Study Coordinator will not replace the Principal Investigator or technical research lead. Rather, the role will ensure that the approved protocol is operationalized consistently across study sites and that all field teams, partners and facility-level stakeholders are adequately coordinated and supported under the direction of the Principle Investigator and study Co-investigators and the Senior MERLA Advisor.

Required Qualifications and Experience
• Strong Familiarity with Somalia’s health system, security/access constraints and Somali language/cultural context is strongly preferred.
• Advanced degree in public health, social sciences, reproductive health, health systems, epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation, research methods or a related field.
• At least 5–7 years of experience coordinating health research (SRH research preferred), operational research, programme evaluation or mixed-methods studies in fragile, humanitarian or low-resource settings in Somalia
• Current certification from in-person or online research ethics course
• Demonstrated experience coordinating qualitative interviews, facility assessments, records reviews and field supervision involving sensitive health topics.
• Qualitative analysis using Dedoose
• Strong understanding of research ethics, informed consent, confidentiality, data protection and safeguarding requirements for human subjects research.
• Experience working with Ministry of Health teams, NGOs, facility managers, data collectors and multi-partner research teams.

Remote option: Remote (local)
Right to work requirements: Not specified
Remuneration: USD 170,000 USD-USD 190,000 USD / yearly
Work schedule: Full-time

Education

The Organization
Girl Rising began with a story. In 2010, we set out to make a film to change the way the world valued and invested in girls and girls’ education. It followed nine girls from nine different countries, all of them fighting for the right to learn and grow. The film moved audiences, sparked funding, and catalyzed locally-led change. We've spent the years since turning that momentum into a global movement and deepening engagement in communities around the globe.

The Position
The Vice President of Philanthropy and Communications will serve as a senior leader for Girl Rising, helping define the organization's narrative while building the fundraising strategy, relationships, and communications engine needed to drive results and meet defined fundraising and communication goals for its next stage of impact. This role brings together strategic communications, major donor and institutional fundraising, storytelling, and team leadership in service of a global, girl-centered mission. The VP will set and lead Girl Rising's integrated communications and development strategy and execution, ensuring fundraising, storytelling, campaigns, donor engagement, and external positioning reinforce one another and are impactful and effective.

Success in this role will require someone who can pair high-level strategic thinking with hands-on execution: someone who understands and has demonstrated the ability to drive results and meet defined fundraising and communication goals through major donor cultivation, institutional and corporate partnerships, communications campaigns, dynamic storytelling, donor reports, events, Salesforce or similar CRM systems, and the operational details that build trust over time. You will work closely with co CEOs, program leaders, the development and communications staff, board members, and external creative partners to shape how Girl Rising is understood, supported, and positioned for long-term growth.

Qualifications

Significant senior-level experience in communications/advocacy and development, within mission driven, nonprofit, social impact, advocacy, education, gender equity, or international development contexts.
International fundraising experience and demonstrated relationships in the sector. Ideal candidate would also have relationships in one of Girl Rising's key operating geographies, such as India, Kenya, or another international development context.
Comfort working across multiple time zones and international contexts, with flexibility and cultural understanding to coordinate with colleagues and partners in different countries.
Demonstrated success with large-scale communications campaigns, major storytelling initiatives, film or media projects, public engagement efforts, or other high-visibility campaigns with meaningful results.
Development experience spanning at least some combination of institutional funding, corporate partnerships, major gifts, individual donor relationships, grant writing, and fundraising strategy. Experience managing or leading creative partners, consultants, agencies, or cross-functional project teams.
Ability to thrive in a lean, global mission-driven organization that values humility, curiosity, responsiveness, flexibility, cultural awareness, and respect for colleagues across functions and geographies.
Confident, galvanizing energy that is felt across the team. Familiarity with Salesforce or a similar CRM system, including the ability to use the system, interpret pipelines, projections, relationship data, and donor activity.

Economic justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)

UN Women has entered into an Agreement with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) to implement a project on women’s economic empowerment in the Eastern Caribbean. The project, “Build Back Equal” (BBE), which is led by UN Women and jointly implemented with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is being implemented, and will contribute to women’s economic resilience in the Eastern Caribbean by taking a comprehensive approach to addressing the barriers women face to economic empowerment and providing increased sustainable opportunities for women’s economic growth. Globally, women work 2.8 hours more than men on unpaid care and domestic work.1 This implies that women, and particularly the poorest and most disadvantaged, have the double burden of both paid and unpaid work, or in other words they are often more time poor than men. Women bear the multiple burdens of productive and reproductive responsibilities that severely limits their economic opportunities and remains a barrier to their engagement in paid work. Data on unpaid care work and specifically to measure SDG Indicator 5.4.1 (Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic and care work, by sex, age and location) is sparse in CARICOM. However, the UN Women MCO-Caribbean is leading efforts to close this data gap in the region. Gender Aware Beneficiary Assessments (GABAs) of public assistance and social protection programmes in Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines reveal systemic gaps in the design and delivery of social protection systems.

Description of Responsibilities/ Scope of Work

Under the overall supervision of the UN Women MCO - Caribbean Representative and directly reporting to the Deputy Representative, the Gender and Social Policy Expert will provide technical support for the design and development of a gender-responsive National Care Policy for Saint Lucia, ensuring coherence with broader social, labour, and family-friendly policies, and alignment with international gender equality, labour and women’s rights commitments, global and regional best practices.

The consultant will contribute to policy content, stakeholder consultations, and validation processes, with particular attention to the 5Rs framework (Recognise, Reduce, Redistribute, Reward, Represent care work) and to the links between care policy, women’s economic empowerment, labour rights and inclusive economic development.

Education and Certification:

Master’s Degree or Bachelor's degree with an additional 2 years of qualifying experience in any of these following areas is required: Economics, Social Sciences, Statistics, Public Health, Gender and Development is required.

Experience:

Demonstrable experience drafting national care policies is required.
At least 5 years’ experience working on gender equality and/or human rights or 7 years' experience with a Bachelor's degree is required.
A minimum of 5 years’ experience analyzing and integrating gender responsive dimensions into policy and programme formulation and implementation particularly in the context of social protection and care policies or 7 years' experience with a Bachelor's degree is required.
A highly developed conceptual, analytical and innovative problem-solving ability.

Climate & Environmental justice Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Human rights

Background
The MENA Women and Gender Constituency (WGC) is a regional coalition of feminist organizations, climate activists, and gender justice advocates dedicated to advancing gender-responsive climate action across the Middle East and North Africa. Originating from the regional Feminist Task Force, the MENA WGC functions as a critical platform for amplifying the leadership, voices, and lived experiences of women and marginalized groups who are disproportionately impacted by environmental degradation and climate instability. Positioned as a vital regional counterpart to the global Women and Gender Constituency under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the network actively bridges the gap between local communities and international climate policy, ensuring that regional climate solutions are fundamentally grounded in human rights, inclusivity, and gender justice.

The MENA WGC has identified a need to strengthen its organisational foundations, including internal governance, coordination, communication, and mechanisms for collective decision-making. At the same time, members have highlighted the importance of strengthening their thematic and practical capacities in areas relevant to the constituency’s regional engagement, including advocacy, strategic communication, policy engagement, coalition-building, and other priorities identified collectively by members.

Therefore, elbarlament will provide three online sessions of capacity building support to MENA WGC members, complementing the constituency’s group work during the Regional Network Meeting. The activity will combine thematic capacity building with organisational and network development. The thematic focus will be identified through consultation with MENA WGC members prior to the activity, ensuring that the training responds directly to their priorities and practical needs.

Objectives
The capacity building activity aims to:
● Strengthen the thematic and practical capacities of MENA WGC members in priority areas identified by the network, including advocacy, coalition-building, strategic communication, and stakeholder engagement.
● Identify key governance, coordination, and communication priorities to support more effective collaboration and collective action within the MENA WGC.
● Develop a shared regional advocacy and cooperation framework, including collective priorities, communication and visibility approaches, and engagement with regional and international partners

Qualifications and Experience
The consultant should have:
● Strong experience in gender equality, climate justice, women’s participation, and the gender–climate–peace and security nexus.
● Proven experience delivering participatory online trainings on climate advocacy, coalition-building, strategic communication, or related topics.
● Experience supporting women-led or gender-focused networks in advocacy, coordination, and regional cooperation.
● Good understanding of climate policy and civil society advocacy processes, particularly in the MENA region.
● Experience working with MENA-based climate or women’s rights networks (preferred).
● Strong facilitation and communication skills in Arabic and English, with the ability to engage diverse participants and translate discussions into practical outcomes.

The Institute for Security Studies seeks a Senior Researcher to join the Justice and Violence Prevention team on a research project undertaken in partnership with the University of Exeter (UK): ‘South Africa’s Hidden War (SAHW): Histories of Sexual and Gender-based Violence from Apartheid to the Present.’

Based at the ISS in South Africa and funded by the University of Exeter, the Senior Researcher will work with the project's Principal Investigator, Professor Emily Bridger, and the ISS Justice and Violence Prevention team.

SAHW explores how sexual and gender-based violence has been understood, experienced and responded to in South Africa across the apartheid and post-apartheid periods. In collaboration with the ISS, the project explores how historical research can be used to improve service provision for gender-based violence survivors and their families.

The Senior Researcher will conduct qualitative research and work with civil society organisations, NGOs, practitioners and other stakeholders to translate findings into improvements in service provision. About 40% of the role will focus on research and writing, and the remaining 60% will focus on improving policy and practice.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Researcher who wants to combine excellent qualitative research with meaningful engagement beyond academia. The successful candidate will be intellectually ambitious, emotionally intelligent, highly collaborative and comfortable working across academic, policy and practitioner environments.

Remote working may be possible, subject to project and fieldwork requirements. The role requires regular travel within South Africa, as well as occasional international travel.
