Requirement: Based in Francophone West Africa

The Program Consultant will serve as a core strategic partner supporting the development, assessment, and management of the Foundation’s FWA and Global grant portfolios. The Consultant will lead grant research and proposal development, conduct due diligence, prepare briefings and reports for senior leadership and the Board, maintain cross-foundation communications with Foundation for a Just Society (FJS), and represent FJSI in the field.

This role requires deep familiarity with gender justice, SRHR, LGBTQI rights, and social justice movements—particularly in African contexts—and an ability to navigate complex political landscapes, shifting donor ecosystems, and evolving anti-rights threats. The Consultant must be adept at building relationships with grantees, peer funders, and partner foundations, and at synthesizing complex information into clear strategic recommendations.
