Specialist, Advocacy and Partnerships, Africa – GL D – Temporary until December 2025
As the Global Fund prepares for its 8th Replenishment in 2025, strengthening the organization’s positioning and partnership with the African continent, both at country level and with regional partners, is a key priority for the organization. Country-ownership is a core principle of the Global Fund, and ensuring its continuous embodiment in a rapidly evolving landscape is critical to ensuring that the fight against AIDS, TB and malaria receives the global attention and level of funding required to end the world’s three deadliest diseases and save millions of lives by 2030. The Political and Civil Society Advocacy Department aims to nurture and expand its partnerships across the African continent, ensuring meaningful engagement and strategic alliances.
The Specialist, African Advocacy will play a leading role in conceptualizing these partnerships, including through identifying and nurturing political and advocacy relationships at country, sub-regional and regional levels. While the role will focus on partnerships with African governments and African regional bodies, the incumbent must also consider the meaningful engagement of communities and civil society, as set out on the Global Fund’s Strategy.
Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Department, the Specialist will work closely with teams across the External Relations and Communications Division, and in close coordination with country teams as well as with other teams and the Executive Office as relevant, to devise and implement an African Political Advocacy Roadmap that ensures strategic engagement with key partners across the continent.
