How you can make a difference:
The UNFPA Strategic Plan 2026–2029 serves as the organization’s final push to achieve the 2030 Agenda, centering its mission on four primary outcomes. It continues to prioritize the "three transformative results"—ending the unmet need for family planning, eliminating preventable maternal deaths, and stopping gender-based violence and harmful practices. A pivotal addition to this cycle is a fourth outcome focused on demographic resilience, which seeks to help nations navigate complex population shifts, such as aging and urbanization, while ensuring that individual rights and reproductive choices remain at the heart of national policies.
To accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the plan shifts toward a more integrated approach that bridges humanitarian, development, and peace efforts. By leveraging advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence, UNFPA aims to pinpoint and support those "furthest behind," directly contributing to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). This strategic framework emphasizes sustainable financing and localized agility, ensuring that even in climate-vulnerable or conflict-affected regions, the global community remains on track to fulfill the promise of the 2030 goals.
Job Purpose:
The SRH / MH Analyst works within a state office environment; s/he will contribute to the effective implementation of UNFPA activities in the areas of sexual and reproductive health and emergency obstetric care. S/he will provide technical assistance and contribute to the development of work plans and will establish and maintain collaborative relationships with counterparts in government, implementing partners, and civil society to address emerging issues and effectively influence diverse stakeholders to contribute to achieving UNFPA’s mandate.
