Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will lead a national study on maternal morbidity, coordinating data collection across Ghana’s health facilities and communities. Day-to-day work includes designing research protocols, training field teams, analyzing findings, and drafting policy recommendations for UNFPA’s reproductive health programmes.
Key skills to highlight
Strong background in maternal health research, with proven experience in quantitative survey design and analysis (e.g., SPSS, Stata). Ability to manage multi-site fieldwork in Ghana, including logistics and ethical approvals. Fluency in English and a local language (e.g., Twi, Ga) is a plus for community engagement.
Taf4All CV tip
Emphasize any prior work on maternal morbidity or mortality studies in West Africa. List specific deliverables you led—like a research report or policy brief—and mention your role in training local enumerators. Use a clear “Research Experience” section with dates and outputs.
Before you apply
Verify the UNFPA Ghana website for the official call—legitimate consultants never pay fees to apply. Check that the email domain ends in @unfpa.org. Report any requests for payment or personal bank details.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
