Sr. Communications Advisor

The PACE (Policy, Advocacy, and Communication Enhanced for Population and Reproductive Health) Project ensures that family planning and population issues are included in policies and programs as key to sustainable, equitable economic growth and development. PACE contributes to the Journey to Self-Reliance by building the capacity of the next generation of family planning (FP) champions and of partners to advocate for FP and secure commitments to FP from leaders within and outside the health sector. Under PACE in Kenya, we work with county leadership to increase financial commitment to health and family planning, and with national institutions to share program learning at national level. PACE also works in partnership with a number of national NGOs to increase capacity to advocate for FP and reproductive health (RH). In order to strengthen an enabling environment for family planning, we support civil society and media to bring attention to local priorities. In support of PACE results, the Senior Communications Advisor will:
