About the Job
International Centre for Reproductive Health is a not-for-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors that provides strategic oversight to the organization. ICRH is registered and operates within the regulatory framework governing public benefit and non-governmental organizations in Kenya and is therefore subject to the provisions of the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act, 2013, which became operational in May 2024 and introduced revised governance, accountability and compliance requirements for organizations of this nature.

As ICRH's Board composition evolves over time, there is a need to periodically reinforce a shared, up-to-date understanding among Board members of their governance mandate, individual and collective responsibilities, and the distinction between the Board's oversight role and the Secretariat's management role. This is also an opportune moment to finalize and formally adopt the organization's Board Charter. It is against this background that ICRH, through its Chief Executive Officer, seeks to engage a qualified consultant or consultancy firm to design and facilitate a Board orientation and sensitization program, including support to finalize the Board Charter.

Objectives of the Consultancy
A structured orientation and sensitization exercise offers the Board an opportunity to refresh its collective understanding of good governance practice, clarify statutory and fiduciary obligations, and ensure it is well positioned to exercise effective oversight in line with the current legal and regulatory environment, including the PBO Act. Such an exercise also provides a timely opportunity to finalize and formally adopt the Board Charter and supports continuity and cohesion within the Board as its membership evolves over time.

Overall Objective
o   To engage a qualified consultant to design and facilitate a Board orientation and sensitization program that strengthens the ICRHK Board's understanding of its governance mandate and equips it to operate effectively within the prevailing legal and regulatory framework.
