UNFPA is the lead UN agency globally, and in the Philippines, for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s new global Strategic Plan (2018-2021) focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices including child marriage.
UNFPA embarks on its new 8th Country Programme for the Philippines from January 2019 till 2023. The programme consists of three major outcomes, i.e. sexual and reproductive health, adolescents and youth, and population dynamics, with the promotion of gender equality including prevention and response to gender-based violence in both normal and humanitarian settings as a cross-cutting priority. The total budget requirement for this new 5-year Country Programme is US$ 20 million, out of which at least $7 million (35%) need to mobilized.
The Programme Analyst for Resource Mobilization and Donor Relations will play major roles in the resource mobilization efforts to maximize the scope and effects of UNFPA’s Country Programme to assist the Government and people of the Philippines in achieving the national development priorities including the global Agenda 2030 with the Sustainable Development Goals so as to reach the furthest behind first and leave no one behind.

UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results - we need staff who are exceptional in how they mobilize and manage the resources entrusted to them and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
