Summary of the Requirement
To advance gender equality and improve access to health services for women, girls, and vulnerable populations in Niger, Plan International Canada seeks a national consultant to provide technical assistance for integrating gender-sensitive approaches into primary health care and community health programs. Despite national commitments and progress, significant gaps remain in equitable access to care for malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, and maternal and child health. The consultant will address these challenges by conducting a gender analysis, developing strategic and operational plans, creating training and guidance materials, and facilitating multi-sectoral collaboration to strengthen community health systems and ensure inclusive, coordinated service delivery. The consultant will also prepare a final report with recommendations for the Global Fundβs GC8 grant cycle (2027β2029).
Consultancy Structure and Roles
Under the supervision of an international consultant, the national consultant will support the implementation of activities on the ground, including liaising with local partners, facilitating data collection, and contributing to the development of gender-sensitive strategies and tools. The national consultant will be based in Niamey, Niger with occasional travel within the country, subject to prevailing security conditions.
The international consultant will assume a supervisory and leadership role. Responsibilities include providing strategic guidance, facilitating knowledge transfer to the national consultant, ensuring the quality and timely delivery of outputs, and coordinating closely with Plan International Canada and relevant stakeholders. The international consultant will primarily work remotely, with occasional travel to Niamey, Niger, subject to prevailing security conditions.
Both consultants are expected to work collaboratively to complete and submit deliverables according to set deadlines and ensure alignment with project objectives, and compliance with contract requirements.
