EngenderHealth envisions a gender-equal world where all people achieve their sexual and reproductive health and rights. We believe this is essential for ensuring all people can achieve their full potential. To achieve this vision, we implement high-quality, gender-equitable programs that advance sexual and reproductive health and rights.
EngenderHealth is a global health non-profit organization with expertise in family planning, sexual and reproductive health, maternal health, gender equality, and gender-based violence prevention and response. We partner with host country governments to expand access to high-quality health services for their populations and support data-driven policy decisions. We collaborate with local civil society organizations to prioritize health, reproductive rights, and inclusive systems and services. We bring more than 50 years of experience working in some of the most disadvantaged and underserved communities across more than 100 countries. Today, we have a presence in 13 countries in Africa and Asia, where we have deep, long-standing connections with local organizations, government institutions, and healthcare providers.
EngenderHealth is recruiting qualified candidates for an anticipated five-year USAID-funded program in Cote d’Ivoire. Through a consortium of partners led by EngenderHealth, this program will improve access and quality of care for the most vulnerable populations – women and children – across multiple service entry points and the continuum of care. This includes strengthening the capacity of health providers to deliver integrated primary healthcare services, that meet the needs of people as closely as possible to where they are located.
