Description

About Us
MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world's leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose.

From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.

Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world.

Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centered care in their own communities.

As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.

About the Role

The Evidence and Impact team, part of Technical Service Department, is a valued strategic source of technical leadership and support in producing, interpreting and using high quality evidence in order to fulfil MSI's mission.

The team has recently been restructured to reflect the key pillars of MSI 2030 Strategy.

The Evidence and Impact team is tasked with supporting MSI country programmes to utilise routine data to generate insights and learnings to improve programme performance.

It also is responsible for designing and delivering strategic operational and formative research studies.

The team strives towards:
-
Impact - ensuring evidence and insights drive scale, quality and sustainability of MSI programming across all service delivery channels.
-
High quality - research studies are ethical, methodologically robust, strategic, and evidence is disseminated effectively to improve programme outcomes.
-
Collaborative - studies conducted in partnership with country programmes and other external research groups to ensure analytical and research capacity building and maximum research utilisation.

The advisor will work primarily on the Women's Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) program, a high-value multicountry programme which aims to improve access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for women and girls in areas of highest unmet need.

WISH is split into two separate Lots - Lot 1 works across 11 countries in West and central Africa (Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire) and is implemented by a consortium led by MSI.

MSI is also a consortium partner in WISH Lot 2, which is led by IPPF, with inputs from 8 MSI country programmes.

WISH combines delivery of SRH services with work to strengthen national ownership of WISH outcomes through supporting an enabling policy environment, strengthening domestic resources for family planning and building the capacity of the public sector.

In addition to the technical responsibilities listed below, the Evidence and Impact Advisor is expected to be the MSI technical and thematic expert, representing MSI E&I team within WISH consortium.

The Evidence Advisor is charged with providing technical leadership and oversight of key consortium deliverables; drawing data together; identifying strategies and actions that need to be taken because of the data; developing dissemination strategies and action plans; etc.

This post will also be a key source of strategic support to the MSI FCDO programme management team, supporting reporting needs and more in-depth analytics, and enabling consortium partners in-country to identify 'what works' and also enable rapid course correction.
