Pacific Sub-Regional Office

 

JOB ADVERTISEMENT

CLOSING DATE: Thursday, 23rd July 2026   

Background:

The Pacific remains acutely vulnerable to climate- and disaster-related shocks. This constrained preparedness landscape has profound implications for SRH and GBV service continuity and GBV risk mitigation. Reduced readiness, particularly for SRH and GBV services, heightens vulnerability for an estimated 2.6 million people living in hazard-prone areas across the Pacific, with disproportionate impacts on women, adolescent girls, and persons with disabilities who already face barriers to accessing essential, life-saving care. UNFPA Pacific implements its 8th Multi-Country Programme, and one core output of it is humanitarian action and climate resilience.

UNFPA Pacific is seeking the professional services of an individual consultant at P3 level to advance the integration of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), including health sector response to Gender Based Violence (GBV), into Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change, and Anticipatory Action (AA) frameworks for the Pacific region.

The consultant will lead key initiatives, including the completion of country-specific Sendai GAP one-pagers for 8 countries, co-designing a regional Community of Practice for SRH, and producing a manuscript on regional coordination. Additionally, the role provides technical support for Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) training with Fiji National University, ongoing MRA validations in Fiji, Tonga, and Vanuatu, and the development of SOPs for MISP implementation in Kiribati, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The position also involves advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and resource mobilization through the development of project proposals and concept notes to advance the SRHiE agenda in the Pacific

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.
