  • Evaluate PHC Preparedness: Contribute to assessing the readiness of primary healthcare facilities in five selected states (Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Lagos) to provide essential healthcare services for women and girls.
  • Report Development: Generate actionable, data-driven recommendations for policymakers, governmental bodies, and stakeholders aimed at improving health outcomes for women, especially those in marginalized communities.

Education

  • Master’s Degree in Public Health or a relevant health-related discipline.

Experience

  • A minimum of three years in public health research and data analysis, ideally in projects related to FP/MNCH.
