Summary of the Requirement
To advance gender equality and improve access to health services for women, girls, and vulnerable populations in Niger, Plan International Canada seeks an international consultant to provide technical assistance for integrating gender-sensitive approaches into primary health care and community health programs. Despite national commitments and progress, significant gaps remain in equitable access to care for malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, and maternal and child health. The consultant will address these challenges by conducting a gender analysis, developing strategic and operational plans, creating training and guidance materials, and facilitating multi sectoral collaboration to strengthen community health systems and ensure inclusive, coordinated service delivery. The consultant will also prepare a final report with recommendations for the Global Fund’s GC8 grant cycle (2027–2029).
Consultancy Structure and Roles
The international consultant may be based anywhere in the world and will assume a supervisory and leadership role over a national consultant for this assignment. Responsibilities include providing strategic guidance, facilitating knowledge transfer to the national consultant, ensuring the quality and timely delivery of outputs, and coordinating closely with Plan International Canada and relevant stakeholders. The international consultant will primarily work remotely, with occasional travel to Niamey, Niger, subject to prevailing security conditions. The national consultant will support the implementation of activities on the ground, including liaising with local partners, facilitating data collection, and contributing to the development of gender-sensitive strategies and tools. The national consultant will be based in Niamey, Niger with occasional travel within the country, subject to prevailing security conditions. Both consultants are expected to work collaboratively to complete and submit deliverables according to set deadlines and ensure alignment with project objectives, and compliance with contract requirements.
Essential skills:
• Advanced university degree preferably a master's degree in public health, primary health service integration, gender, equity and social analysis, health economics, health and social sciences or related fields, with at least 5 years of work experience.
• Demonstrated experience in implementing interventions linking gender and health systems strengthening, particularly those focused on the provision of care and services for women and girls in low- and middle-income settings. • Experience of working in similar contexts to Niger, and good knowledge of national health system structures.
• Good understanding of gender equality and human rights considerations in health human resource management, RCom programs and community health systems strengthening, with evidence of systematic integration of gender sensitive or gender-transformative approaches.
• Proven experience in the development and implementation of guidelines and training workshops for health service providers, policymakers and other stakeholders on the themes covered in these ToR.
• Experience in mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and ability to interpret and use data to formulate strategic recommendations for public health interventions.
• Fluency in French.
