Description de l'offre The Position The Social Policy and Health Economics Adviser is the West and Central Africa Regional Office’s (WCARO) senior technical authority on Social Policy, health economics, public financing, and investment strategy in support of UNFPA’s mandate across West and Central Africa. The Adviser serves as WCARO’s principal expert on the economics of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), population dynamics, and gender equality — translating complex economic evidence into actionable policy and sustainable financing strategies. Reporting to the Deputy Regional Director, the Adviser works in an integrated manner and provides high-level technical leadership across a 23-country portfolio, guiding Country Offices and national governments in mobilizing domestic resources, strengthening health financing systems, and positioning SRHR firmly within national budgets, development plans, and international financing architecture. How you can make a difference UNFPA is the lead United Nations agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is intended, every childbirth is safe, and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. The UNFPA Strategic Plan for [Click the Apply button below to see the contact details] articulates the organization’s response to a complex global environment, providing a roadmap for resilience and renewal. It is designed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This mandate is pursued through a focus on four interconnected outcomes: ending the unmet need for family planning; ending preventable maternal deaths; ending gender- based violence and harmful practices; and adapting to demographic change through evidence and rights-based policies. 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 who transform, inspire, and deliver high-impact and sustained results and ensure effective external relations, communications, and partnership-building and resource mobilization in a rapidly changing development and funding landscape. We need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them, and who commit to delivering excellence in programme results. Job Purpose The Social Policy and Health Economics Adviser provides strategic leadership to advance the transition from Funding to Financing the ICPD Programme of Action across the West and Central Africa region. The Adviser leads UNFPA’s shift from funding to financing in the region through three key functions: 1) Evidence Generation and Data Analysis, 2) Policy and Advocacy, and 3) Accountability and Monitoring. This includes the generation and application of economic evidence, supports countries in designing investment cases and financing strategies, translates analytical insights into effective policy engagement and budget advocacy; and monitors financial flows and gaps. Through strategic partnerships with governments, international financial institutions (IFIs), UN agencies, development partners, and the private sector, the Adviser contributes to mobilizing sustainable financing that accelerates progress toward UNFPA’s three transformative results: ending preventable maternal deaths; ending unmet need for family planning; and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices. The development financing landscape is undergoing a structural transformation. The recent withdrawal of major bilateral donors has accelerated the urgency of domestic resource mobilization and diversified financing for UNFPA’s mandate. In response to this challenge, UNFPA has designed a financing ICPD Strategy and incorporated an output, « Leveraging sustainable financing, » into its Strategic Plan. West and Central African governments face compounding fiscal pressures arising from geopolitical instability across the Sahel, climate related shocks, commodity volatility, and macroeconomic fragility. The large informal sector—accounting for a substantial share of employment and non agricultural activity—compounds challenges for revenue mobilization. At the same time, emerging evidence reinforces the economic imperative of investing in SRHR: analyses suggest that every dollar invested in family planning can yield returns up to USD 120 in long term health and economic benefits through the demographic dividend. UNFPA’s Match Fund—which provides up to USD 2 worth of reproductive health commodities for every USD 1 a country invests—has helped participating governments increase spending on contraceptives fivefold since 2020, reaching more than USD 50 million in 2024. In this context, the Adviser plays a decisive role in supporting countries and Country Offices to navigate the transition from aid-dependent programming to sustainable, domestically led financing of the ICPD Programme of Action. You would be responsible for Strategic Leadership on Health Financing and Policy Engagement Provide senior technical advice on health economics and financing to advance UNFPA’s transformative results across the region:

• Advise Regional Office leadership and Country Representatives on national health financing architectures, fiscal space opportunities, and sustainable resource allocation strategies for SRHR.
• Lead high-level policy dialogue with Ministries of Finance, Planning, and Health to strengthen public investment in SRHR, population programmes, and universal healthcare (UHC) benefit package design.
• Engage strategically with IFIs — including the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), Islamic Development Bank, IMF, and the Global Financing Facility (GFF) — to influence the design and conditionalities of lending packages, development policy operations, and Programme-for-Results financing to embed SRHR priorities.
• Champion the Abuja Declaration
