As more information has become available through the internet (e.g., journal articles, blogs, social media), Member States often have shorter timeframes for decision-making (especially in emergencies), and often request customized solutions to their own situations and contexts. As such, WHO requires a new approach to problem solving and processing large amounts of information from different fields in order to deliver quick solutions to meet the expectations and needs of our Member States.
Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death and disability in the Western Pacific. To accelerate progress, we need to support Member States in carrying out innovative, multi-sectoral, and holistic strategies that build on existing capacities, strengths and initiatives. DHP is recruiting short-term consultants to apply a hypotheses-driven approach to supporting Member States in tackling the challenge of NCDs.

  • A university degree and background in natural or social sciences.

Essential:
  • At least one year experience in conducting and managing research and performing quantitative or qualitative data analysis. At least one year of experience applying the hypothesis-driven approach.
