The Position :

The UNFPA midwifery programme seeks to increase the number of births attended by professional midwifery Providers and develop the foundations for a sustainable midwifery workforce in Ethiopia. The needs in Ethiopia are enormous as the country is too big with ONLY 2,000 midwives. The UNFPA Programme focuses on training midwives and strengthening midwifery education, developing practice standards, and developing and strengthening national midwifery associations. There is the need to ensure that pregnant women deliver in health facilities in the presence of a skilled birth attendant to prevent maternal and neonatal deaths as well as complications of pregnancy and delivery such as obstetric fistula. UNFPA would like to recruit a National Midwifery Advisor to support the programme.

 

How you can make a difference :

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 (2018-2021), focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices.
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.
