Background
SRHR is facing an accelerating crisis, driven by a convergence of financial, political, and structural pressures. Declining donor funding, rising sovereign debt burdens, inflationary pressures, and widening fiscal constraints are limiting the resources available for health and social services, while evolving geopolitical priorities and coordinated anti-rights movements are reshaping how SRHR is positioned, funded, and contested globally. Together, these dynamics are not only creating immediate funding gaps, but are also weakening the systems, institutions, and accountability mechanisms required to sustain equitable access to care over the long term.
At the same time, many civil society organisations working on SRHR continue to face barriers in engaging meaningfully in financing and macroeconomic policy discussions. Financing is often approached as a narrow technical issue, rather than as a broader political and structural question tied to economic governance, power, and public accountability. As a result, organisations may lack the technical fluency, evidence, tools, and institutional confidence needed to engage effectively in debates around taxation, budgeting, debt, trade, public financial management, and other key financing processes that directly shape SRHR outcomes.
Civil society engagement on financing also remains fragmented. Organisations frequently work in silos around specific thematic priorities, rather than advancing broader and more coordinated demands around public investment, fiscal justice, and sustainable financing for SRHR. Collaboration between SRHR actors and movements working on economic justice, public finance, governance, labour, climate, and accountability also remains limited, despite the increasingly interconnected nature of these issues.
Fòs Feminista is addressing these challenges through a multipronged program strategy which brings together capacity building and evidence generation in service of evidence-based advocacy at the national, regional and global levels.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate should demonstrate:
• Expertise in SRHR, gender equality, development financing, and/or global health.
• Strong understanding of global and regional political and multilateral processes related to financing, development, health, gender equality, or economic governance.
• Proven experience conducting political economy analysis, stakeholder mapping, policy research, or advocacy-oriented landscape analyses.
• Demonstrated knowledge of financing debates relevant to SRHR and social justice, including public financing, development financing, debt, taxation, health financing, social protection, care economies, and accountability mechanisms.
• Familiarity with global and regional civil society, feminist, and social justice movements and coalitions.
• Excellent analytical, research, and writing skills.
• Ability to work independently and synthesize complex political and policy dynamics into actionable recommendations.
• Advanced degree in gender studies, international development, development economics, public policy, global health, health financing, human rights, or a related field.
• Fluency in at least one of the languages relevant to the Fòs Feminista Alliance – Spanish, French or Portuguese, in addition to English
