Programme Adviser - Safe Abortion Action Fund (Hosted by IPPF – ACRO) Location: Colombia

Deadline

Programme Adviser - Safe Abortion Action Fund

(Hosted by IPPF – ACRO)

Location: Colombia

Type: Permanent 

Salary: Starting salary of USD$39,876 (annual gross) + benefits


The Safe Abortion Action Fund (SAAF) is the only global fund focused exclusively on the right to safe and legal abortion. Through our funding and support, we work to de-stigmatize abortion and to enable organisations in low- and middle-income countries to initiate abortion-related projects based on their context. We envision a world where women, girls and people with diverse gender identities have their human rights to abortion and bodily autonomy respected, protected and fulfilled.

This role will be responsible for managing relationships with a significant subset of SAAF’s grantee-partners, acting as the reference point for them within the SAAF Secretariat. The Programme Adviser supports grantee-partners with the implementation of SAAF-funded grants. This involves working closely with grantee-partners through the various stages of the grant cycle: selection, inception, implementation and closure. While the postholder will be expected to manage relationships with a significant proportion of SAAF grantee partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, the position has a global remit and the postholder will also manage relationships with grantee-partners in other continents.

Minimum requirements:

  • You have a degree in a social science related subject or equivalent standard of education.

  • You have at least 7 years of professional experience.

  • You have proven experience in developed application in multi-country programme management and in supporting civil society organisations in the Global South.

  • You have experience in implementing/monitoring sexual and reproductive health and rights programmes.

  • Previous experience with grantmaking is desirable

  • Fluent English and Spanish are essential. Knowledge of French is an advantage
