UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. It’s mission is to ensure sexual and reproductive rights and choices for all, especially women and young people, so that they can access high-quality sexual and reproductive health services, including voluntary family planning, maternal health care and comprehensive sexuality education.

Information technology, innovation and digitalization are playing an increasingly important role in UNFPA’s programme work. This includes projects related to technology for development, such as implementing new IT solutions, building capacity, and providing technical support to country offices.

As Programme Analyst you support UNFPA’s IT team by providing the following:

  • Provide technical guidance and support for integrating technology into programmes, including assessing current tools, piloting new solutions, and troubleshooting.
  • Analyze and evaluate existing T4D (Technology for Development) infrastructure to identify needs, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Research and recommend technologies based on programme goals, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Build and maintain partnerships with tech stakeholders and explore opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
  • Support capacity building by developing training materials, facilitating knowledge sharing, and helping programme teams adopt and use technology effectively.

Part of the Swiss JPO Programme, this position is sponsored by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC of the FDFA.
