Job Description
The Position:
UNFPA works to ensure sexual and reproductive health and rights remain at the very centre of development. The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) draws a clear connection between reproductive health, human rights and sustainable development. When sexual and reproductive health needs are not met, individuals are deprived of the right to make crucial choices about their own bodies and futures, with a cascading impact on their families’ welfare and future generations. And because women bear children, and also often bear the responsibility for nurturing them, sexual and reproductive health and rights issues cannot be separated from gender equality. Cumulatively, the denial of these rights exacerbates poverty and gender inequality.

The Technical Advisor, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) provides technical leadership and plays a vital role in ensuring state of the art technical support and promoting partnership, synergy and strategic alliances with counterparts in government, multi-lateral and bi-lateral agencies and civil society in Nepal. S/he leads advocacy and policy dialogue in support of accelerating progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the ICPD Programme of Action, promoting human rights-based approaches and integrating SRHR in the Universal Health Coverage Package. S/he ensures linkages with other UNFPA programmes in the areas of adolescent and youth, gender equality and population dynamics, and provides technical support to the implementation of the federal, provincial and local programmes and action plans to ensure that SRH services are available to women and men when needed.

S/he will be located at the UNFPA Country Office (CO) in Kathmandu, Nepal. Under the overall guidance of the Representative, the incumbent will work in close collaboration with the Deputy Representative and the UNFPA sub-national teams and other teams in Kathmandu.

Application Deadline: 28 May 2024
