The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is the leading United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. With a focus on promoting sexual and reproductive health, reproductive rights, and gender equality, UNFPA’s India Country Office collaborates closely with the Government of India and diverse partners to advance the goals outlined in the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
UNFPA India is currently implementing its 10th Country Programme (CP-10) for the period 2023-2027. The CP-10 envisions an inclusive India where every woman and young person, including those from the most vulnerable groups, can enjoy gender equality, fully realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights, and actively contribute to sustainable development. To achieve these goals, UNFPA India has set an ambitious non-core resource mobilization target of USD 30 million over five years.
As part of its broader partnerships and resource mobilization strategy, UNFPA India is advancing key initiatives such as the Coalition for Reproductive Justice in Business (CRJB), a multi-stakeholder platform that supports private sector actors to adopt and institutionalize workplace practices promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality, and the overall well-being of women employees.
In addition, UNFPA India is deepening its engagement in South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) to leverage India’s expertise and experiences in areas such as reproductive health, gender equality, and youth empowerment. Through SSTC, UNFPA facilitates knowledge exchange and capacity-building partnerships across developing countries, positioning India as a key contributor to global development cooperation.
To drive the achievement of these goals, UNFPA India is seeking to hire a Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Consultant with proven expertise in fundraising, cultivating partnerships across sectors, and advancing strategic initiatives that promote SRHR, gender equality, and SSTC. The Consultant will play a key role in expanding UNFPA’s donor base, strengthening engagement with the private sector, and supporting initiatives such as the CRJB and SSTC collaboration efforts with other countries in the Global South.
The Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Consultant will be based at the UNFPA India Country Office in New Delhi and will report to the Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Specialist.
