How you can make a difference:

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 strategic plan (2022-2025), reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. 

Job Purpose:

Asia and the Pacific faces frequent natural hazards and disasters and protracted crises. UNFPA supports governments to address SRH and GBV needs through preparedness efforts, including supply prepositioning and SRHiE programming. A key component of this is strengthening humanitarian preparedness, including prepositioning of essential SRH and GBV supplies for immediate distribution and use, and Sexual and Reproductive Health in Emergencies (SRHiE) programming. 

The Regional Humanitarian Project Coordinator and SRH in Emergencies Specialist will manage Phase III of the Regional Prepositioning Initiative (2021-2026), supported by the Government of Australia. This involves providing technical and programmatic support and oversight to 11 UNFPA Country Offices in the Asia Pacific region to implement the annual workplans; preparing progress updates, annual reports and workplans for the donor; undertaking budget monitoring, facilitating information sharing both internally and externally; supporting strategic capacity building and implementation of advocacy activities; facilitating strategic dialogues; and undertaking project monitoring and evaluation. The position will also provide programmatic support to country offices experiencing humanitarian crises to contribute to the regional office’s work on emergency preparedness and response, and ensure that women, girls and at-risk groups in disaster-prone countries within Asia and the Pacific have improved access to quality integrated SRH and GBV services during emergencies. 

The position requires a strong background in SRHiE, with a clinical focus, including expertise in the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for Sexual and Reproductive Health in Crisis Situations, and experience in developing technical guidance and implementing capacity-building initiatives.

Qualifications and Experience: 
  • Advanced university degree in public health, medicine, gender studies, humanitarian studies, international development, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of relevant professional experience in humanitarian programming, including SRH in Emergencies (SRHiE).
  • Proven expertise in MISP training, capacity building, and SRH-GBV integration in humanitarian contexts.
  • Experience in managing large-scale projects, donor relations, and results-based management.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop technical guidance, toolkits, and knowledge products.
  • Strong understanding of disability inclusion and accountability to affected populations in humanitarian settings.
  • Familiarity with emergency supply chain management and SRHiE procurement processes, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
  • Knowledge of UN procedures, including UNFPA’s policies and humanitarian commitments, is an asset.
  • Strong organizational and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities within tight deadlines.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Proficiency in knowledge management and resource mobilization.
  • Cultural sensitivity and ability to work effectively in a multicultural environment.
  • Fluency in English is required.
