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.

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.

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%)

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Uganda has made significant progress in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality since 2016, with maternal mortality declining by 44% from 338 to 189 deaths per 100,000 live births and neonatal mortality by 18.5% from 27 to 22 deaths per 1,000 live births. However, mortality remains unacceptably high, driven by causes such as birth asphyxia, prematurity, and maternal haemorrhage, with many deaths resulting from delays in recognizing danger signs, seeking care, reaching capable facilities, and receiving timely treatment. Strengthening emergency referral systems is therefore critical and requires functional communication and transport linkages, improved triage and referral protocols, and timely, safe transfer of women and newborns requiring emergency care. CHAI Uganda’s Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal and Newborn Health (SRMNH) Program partners with the Ministry of Health to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by expanding access to priority family planning, maternal and newborn health products and services, while strengthening emergency referral pathways at community, health facility, and district levels.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Reporting to the Senior Associate – Emergency Referral Systems, the Associate will support the implementation and monitoring of activities to strengthen emergency referral systems for mothers and newborns in Uganda. He/she will assist in conducting field-level assessments, collecting and analysing data, supporting health facility and district engagement, and contributing to the development of referral tools, training materials, and knowledge products.

The Associate will work closely with the Senior Associate, Ministry of Health counterparts, district health teams, and health facilities to help ensure that women and newborns experiencing obstetric and neonatal emergencies receive timely, appropriate care. CHAI is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented, and mission-driven individual with a foundational understanding of health systems and a commitment to reducing preventable maternal and neonatal mortality in Uganda.
