National Consultant: SRH Programme Analyst

UNFPA seeks a SRH Analyst as a national consultant to be based in Honiara to support the coordination of UNFPA humanitarian response activities on SRH and GBV. The consultant has to coordinate with the provincial Ministry of Health RMNCAH (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health) unit and the provincial Ministry of Women, Children, Youth and Family Affairs. 

The consultant will be reporting to the UNFPA Programme Specialist based in Solomon Islands, and with close the PSRO Humanitarian team, she/he/they would work as part of a multi-disciplinary humanitarian team of staff who will deliver the Humanitarian Response Plan of UNFPA for STC Maila in Solomon Islands. The consultant will also have a reporting line to the Humanitarian Specialist based in Suva, Fiji

The consultant will be in Solomon Islands, based in Choiseul, but with travel in Western and Honiara and other parts of the country, when appropriate.

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s new strategic plan (2026-2029) centers on four outcomes: ending unmet family planning needs, ending preventable maternal deaths, ending gender-based violence (GBV), and addressing demographic changes, while addressing inequalities. In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff who embody these international norms and standards and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction. Between 6 and 11 April 2026, Category 5 Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila caused widespread devastation across the Solomon Islands, severely impacting the provinces of Western, Choiseul, Isabel, Guadalcanal and the Central Islands. The Government of the Solomon Islands declared a state of disaster on 10 April 2026 for Western and Choiseul provinces. The cyclone has significantly disrupted essential health services, resulting in reduced access to SRH services and increased risks of exposure to GBV. Health infrastructure has been severely impacted, including damage to secondary-level facilities and multiple primary health centres, critically weakening service delivery capacity. An estimated 3,640 pregnant women in Western, Choiseul and Isabel provinces face limited or no access to life-saving maternal health services, including 400 who are expected to give birth within the next month without assured access to skilled birth attendance or emergency obstetric care. In Choiseul alone, where 9.5 per cent of births already lacked skilled birth attendance pre-crisis, the disruption of transport to Honiara’s tertiary facility significantly heightens the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.

UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
