About the ACHSGJ:
The Africa Center for Health Systems and Gender Justice is a feminist, Pan-African organisation committed to reimagining health systems that centre the voices, needs, and leadership of women and structurally marginalised groups. Grounded in the belief that health is not just about services but about justice, power, and dignity, ACHGJ envisions an Africa where women and girls thrive in systems rooted in gender equity, systems that listen, respond, and deliver with care and inclusion. Through three strategic pathways—Amplify, Equip, and Catalyse—the organisation works to shift narratives and power in health governance, build the capacity of health actors to integrate gender equity, and support grassroots-led change through economic empowerment and accountability mechanisms. ACHGJ conducts feminist research, strengthens transformative leadership, mobilises strategic coalitions, facilitates resource mobilisation for women-led solutions, and documents best practices that link gender justice with broader challenges such as climate, health, and structural inequality. Ultimately, ACHGJ seeks to transform unjust systems into responsive, inclusive, and community-driven institutions.

This role is pivotal in advancing systemic change through integrated program design, rigorous evaluation, and the use of insights to inform cost-effective strategies, scalability, and replication. The Program Manager will be responsible for overseeing a portfolio of interconnected projects ensuring strategic alignment with organizational goals, effective resource management, and strong stakeholder engagement.
