The Position:

The humanitarian and protection situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate as gang violence intensifies. Since November 11, 2024, violence in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (ZMPAP) has sharply increased, with widespread attacks on communities, police forces, and public infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and government offices. This has triggered new waves of displacement, particularly in the Ouest, Centre, and Artibonite departments, which remain the most affected.

By October 2025, more than 1.2 million people had been displaced across the country, and reports of gender-based violence (GBV) have risen significantly. The 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan estimates that 6 million people will need assistance, including 1.5 million requiring GBV-related support—97% of whom are women and girls. Of these, 44% are in the Ouest department and 6% in the Sud. The main risk factors include gang incursions, forced displacement, and food insecurity. The large-scale migration from Port-au-Prince to the South has further increased GBV risks, putting additional strain on already limited protection services.

Despite restricted humanitarian access, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and its partners continue to provide essential GBV prevention and response, as well as sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. These include strengthening health facilities, deploying integrated mobile clinics, establishing safe spaces for women and girls, providing cash assistance, conducting training and awareness activities, and coordinating GBV-focused interventions.

The GBV Sub-Cluster, co-led by UNFPA and the Ministry for the Status of Women and Women’s Rights (MCFDF), ensures a coordinated, multisectoral approach to GBV prevention and response. In addition, under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) Working Group on SRH has been operational since July 2025.

Within this framework, and following the launch of its emergency program in 2022 in Port-au-Prince and the Artibonite department, UNFPA is recruiting a Programme Analyst in SRH to coordinate and ensure the effective implementation and quality of activities under this program in the target areas.

Under the direct supervision of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the incumbent will be deployed to support the rapid operational implementation of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services within the framework of this program.

How you can make a difference:

UNFPA is the lead United Nations agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is intended, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. The UNFPA Strategic Plan for 2026-2029 articulates the organization’s response to a complex global environment, providing a roadmap for resilience and renewal. It is designed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This mandate is pursued through a focus on four interconnected outcomes: ending the unmet need for family planning; ending preventable maternal deaths; ending gender-based violence and harmful practices; and adapting to demographic change through evidence and rights-based policies. 

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.

UNFPA is seeking candidates who transform, inspire, and deliver high-impact and sustained results and ensure effective external relations, communications, and partnership-building and resource mobilization in a rapidly changing development and funding landscape.
