Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa UNFPA Full time

The Position:

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 strategic plan , reaffirms the relevance of the current strategic direction of UNFPA and focuses on three transformative results:
to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices.

These results capture our strategic commitments on accelerating progress towards realizing the ICPD and SDGs in the Decade of Action leading up to 2030.

Our strategic plan calls upon UN Member States, organizations and individuals to "build forward better", while addressing the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women's and girls' access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, recover lost gains and realize our goals.


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.


Purpose of consultancy:

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.

Its mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

Within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), UNFPA is working towards three transformative results:
(I) zero preventable maternal deaths; (ii) zero unmet need for family planning; and (iii) zero gender-based violence and harmful practices, including female genital mutilation and child, early and forced marriage.


The UNFPA South Africa Country Office (SACO) is currently implementing the 5th Country Programme (CP with the Government of South Africa and other partners.

The goal of the CP is to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights and accelerate the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, to improve the lives of women, adolescents and youth.

In pursuit of this goal, the UNFPA South Africa CO seeks to achieve results in the following thematic areas of programming under the CP:
(I) adolescents and youth ii) gender and social norms (iii) population change and data.


The CO is seeking services of a local consultant to work alongside of the Team Leader (International) to fulfil the objectives of the CPE.

The Local Consultant should have demonstrable experience of the ICPD agenda, and population policy premised from the South Africa ICPD Programme of Action (PoA) as well as the ICPD commitment made by the SA government in Nairobi.

This is the umbrella framework for the UNFPA Country Programme which recognizes that sexual reproductive health and rights, as well as women's empowerment and gender equality, are cornerstones of population and development programmes.

The local consultant should be familiar with the South African policy environment and programmatic context with regards to population and development as well as the priorities of governments (MTSF) aligned to the National Development Plan, Regional Frameworks as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Familiarity with the regional landscape is desirable.

Scope of work:


The local consultant will support the CPE process in relation to the overall design and implementation of a methodologically robust evaluation and cover programmatic areas of the Country Programme i.e., Adolescence and Youth, Gender and Social Norms as well as Population Change and Data.


The local consultant will provide expertise in all three thematic areas of the CP, which are implemented across three UNFPA supported provinces namely Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo, during the 5th country programme's implementation period.

The thematic areas are described in section 3 of the terms of reference.

In addition, the evaluation will also cover cross-cutting issues, such as cross-cutting issues: human rights, gender equality, disability, displacement and migration status, etc., and transversal functions, such as coordination, monitoring and evaluation, innovation, resource mobilisation, strategic partnerships, etc.


S/he will contribute to the methodological design of the evaluation and take part in the data collection and analysis work, with overall responsibility of contributions to the evaluation process.

S/he will provide substantive inputs throughout the evaluation process by contributing to the development of the evaluation methodology, evaluation work plan and agenda for the field phase, participating in meetings with the CPE manager, UNFPA SACO staff and the ERG.

S/he will undertake a document review and conduct interviews and group discussions with stakeholders, as agreed with the evalua
