5 Openings: SRHR Experts at 2gether4SRHR Programme | Apply by 20 April 2026

The 2gether4SRHR programme has announced an exciting call for applications for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) experts across East and Southern Africa. This opportunity is designed for experienced professionals who want to contribute to impactful regional health initiatives through flexible, consultancy-based roles.

With a closing date of April 20, 2026, the call targets individuals with strong technical expertise, a passion for public health, and a commitment to advancing human rights across diverse communities.

About the 2gether4SRHR Programme

2gether4SRHR is a collaborative initiative led by several major United Nations agencies. These include:

• UNAIDS
• UNFPA
• UNICEF
• WHO

The programme focuses on strengthening SRHR outcomes in Eastern and Southern Africa by delivering high-quality technical assistance. Through its Technical Assistance (TA) Hub, it connects governments, institutions, and partners with a roster of qualified experts who can support policy, research, and programme implementation.

What Selected Experts Can Expect

Successful applicants will be included in the Technical Assistance roster, giving them access to consulting opportunities with UN agencies and partner organizations. While placement on the roster does not guarantee immediate employment, it significantly increases visibility for future assignments.

Key benefits of joining the roster include:

• Access to short-term and long-term consultancy opportunities
• Collaboration with leading global health institutions
• Opportunities to influence regional policies and programmes
• Flexible working arrangements (remote or field-based)
• Exposure to multi-country projects and diverse stakeholders

This structure allows professionals to contribute their expertise while maintaining flexibility in their careers.

Five Key SRHR Expert Roles Available

The programme is recruiting specialists across five thematic areas, each addressing a critical need within SRHR systems.

1. SRHR Guidelines and Framework Development

Experts in this category will lead the creation and revision of national guidelines, standard operating procedures, and job aids. Their work will support stronger and more consistent healthcare systems.

2. Research and Data Analysis

This role focuses on generating evidence to inform policies and programme design. Experts will conduct both qualitative and quantitative research and provide insights that drive decision-making.

3. VCAT Facilitation (Values Clarification and Attitude Transformation)

Professionals in this area will facilitate workshops aimed at transforming attitudes and promoting rights-based approaches to SRHR. This work is essential in addressing cultural and social barriers.

4. Curriculum Development and Capacity Building

Selected experts will design training materials and learning programmes for healthcare providers. This includes digital learning tools, in-person training modules, and blended learning approaches.

5. Policy and Advocacy Strategy Development

This role involves creating policy frameworks and advocacy strategies that support SRHR goals. Experts will engage stakeholders and promote evidence-based policy reforms.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Candidates applying for these roles should possess strong technical expertise in SRHR or related fields. While specific requirements vary, general expectations include:

• Proven experience in public health, SRHR programmes, or development work
• Strong analytical, research, or facilitation skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
• Experience working with governments, NGOs, or international organizations
• Ability to adapt to multicultural and multi-stakeholder environments

Additional advantages include prior experience with UN systems, policy development, or regional programmes in Africa.

Application Process and Key Deadline

Interested applicants must submit their applications through the Technical Assistance Hub platform, ensuring they clearly indicate their preferred role or thematic area.

Important details include:

• Application Deadline: April 20, 2026
• Location: Remote or field-based depending on assignment
• Contract Type: Consultancy (project-based)

Applicants are encouraged to tailor their submissions carefully, highlighting relevant experience and demonstrating how their expertise aligns with the programme’s objectives.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Working with 2gether4SRHR provides a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful change in public health and human rights. By collaborating with organizations such as WHO and UNFPA, experts can directly influence policies, improve healthcare systems, and expand access to essential services.

Key advantages include:

• High-impact work across multiple African countries
• Engagement with global experts and policymakers
• Opportunities for professional growth and networking
• Contribution to advancing gender equality and health equity

For professionals committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights, this call for applications offers a strategic platform to make a lasting difference.
