Pacific Sub-Regional Office
JOB ADVERTISEMENT
CLOSING DATE: Wednesday, 20th May 2026
Background:
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s new strategic plan (2026-2029) centers on four outcomes: ending unmet family planning needs, ending preventable maternal deaths, ending gender-based violence (GBV), and addressing demographic changes, while addressing inequalities. 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. Between 6 and 11 April 2026, Category 5 Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila caused widespread devastation across the Solomon Islands, severely impacting the provinces of Western, Choiseul, Isabel, Guadalcanal and the Central Islands. The Government of the Solomon Islands declared a state of disaster on 10 April 2026 for Western and Choiseul provinces. The cyclone has significantly disrupted essential health services, resulting in reduced access to SRH services and increased risks of exposure to GBV. Health infrastructure has been severely impacted, including damage to secondary-level facilities and multiple primary health centres, critically weakening service delivery capacity. An estimated 3,640 pregnant women in Western, Choiseul and Isabel provinces face limited or no access to life-saving maternal health services, including 400 who are expected to give birth within the next month without assured access to skilled birth attendance or emergency obstetric care. In Choiseul alone, where 9.5 per cent of births already lacked skilled birth attendance pre-crisis, the disruption of transport to Honiara’s tertiary facility significantly heightens the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality
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.
