La Fédération internationale pour la planification familiale (IPPF) est un fournisseur mondial de services de santé sexuelle et reproductive (SSR) et l'un des principaux défenseurs de l'accès universel à la santé et aux droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR) pour tous. L'IPPF est un mouvement mondial de 120 organisations nationales, appelées Associations Membres (AM), qui travaillent avec et pour les communautés et les individus. Ces AM sont les leaders de la société civile en matière de contraception dans 89 des 120 pays. Dans 64 de ces 89 pays, l'IPPF est le seul fournisseur international à grande échelle. Collectivement, les AM ont fourni plus d'un milliard de services cumulés entre 2016 et 2022.   

Basée à Nairobi, au Kenya, l'IPPF Région Afrique (IPPFAR) a pour objectif principal d'améliorer l'accès aux services de santé sexuelle et reproductive pour les jeunes, les hommes et les femmes les plus vulnérables d'Afrique subsaharienne. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l'IPPFAR travaille avec des organisations locales de la société civile, les gouvernements, l'Union africaine (UA), les Commissions Économiques Régionales (CER), les Nations Unies, entre autres, afin d'élargir les engagements politiques et financiers en faveur de la santé et des droits sexuels et reproductifs en Afrique. L'IPPFAR s'attaque aux défis croissants du continent en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau d’AM, de partenaires stratégiques et de bénévoles dans 42 pays. Pour plus d'informations, veuillez lire notre profil 2022 (en anglais et en français) ici.

En novembre 2022, lors de l'Assemblée générale de l'IPPF, toutes les associations membres de l'IPPF ont adopté une nouvelle stratégie pour la Fédération : Come Together - Strategy 2028. Cette nouvelle stratégie vise à changer l'IPPF afin qu'elle soit bien équipée pour défendre la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs pour ceux qui sont exclus, bloqués ou laissés pour compte. Come Together engage l'IPPF à façonner les lois, les politiques et les normes par le biais de l'action féministe et de la solidarité internationale, et à soutenir la fédération, en comblant ses lacunes et en lui donnant un nouvel élan pour qu'elle ait un impact réel et durable.

Grâce à cette nouvelle stratégie, nous nous engageons à suivre ce chemin aux côtés des jeunes, des individus et des communautés qui subissent de plein fouet la stigmatisation et les préjugés. À chaque étape, nous défendrons, protégerons et célébrerons la sécurité, le plaisir et le bien-être en matière de sexualité et de reproduction. À chaque étape, nous dénoncerons les pouvoirs et les autorités qui, par leurs politiques, leurs pratiques et leurs lois, portent atteinte à la dignité et aux droits de l'homme dans ces domaines intimes. Et, en tant qu'IPPF, nous serons responsables de ce que nous sommes, de ce que nous faisons et de la manière dont nous le faisons.

Dans le cadre de la nouvelle stratégie, le Bureau régional africain de l'IPPF (IPPF ARO) recherche une personne pour occuper le poste de "Conseiller à la gouvernance et à l'accréditation" chargé de gérer le statut de membre - de l'admission à l'accréditation et au renouvellement/non-renouvellement - des AM de l'IPPF, en veillant à ce que le processus soit ancré dans une approche d'apprentissage et d'amélioration, ainsi que dans la conformité. Le titulaire du poste apportera ses connaissances et ses conseils pour renforcer en permanence la gouvernance des AM de l'IPPF et stimuler la gestion des risques.  .

Pour plus de détails sur ce poste, veuillez consulter la description de poste ci-jointe (ci-dessous).

Les personnes intéressées doivent soumettre un formulaire de candidature dans le formulaire de CV de l'IPPFARO et une lettre de motivation d'une page à : [email protected] avec le poste pour lequel vous postulez comme objet de l'email avant le 19 mai 2023. Veuillez noter que l'IPPFAR ne prendra pas en compte les candidatures qui ne sont pas faites dans le format demandé.

L'IPPF est un employeur qui prône l'égalité des chances. En tant que principale organisation mondiale de défense des droits de l'homme axée sur l'égalité, l'autonomisation, la fin de la discrimination et l'éradication de la pauvreté, nous reflétons en interne les principes de la justice sociale. En tant qu'IPPF, nous nous opposons fermement au racisme sous toutes ses formes et nous nous engageons résolument en faveur d'un changement culturel qui modifiera les déséquilibres existants en matière de pouvoir et de processus.

Les candidatures de femmes, de personnes handicapées et de personnes vivant ouvertement avec le VIH sont particulièrement encouragées.

L'IPPF s'engage à protéger et à promouvoir le bien-être des enfants, des jeunes et des adultes vulnérables et attend de tous ses employés, bénévoles, sous-traitants et partenaires qu'ils partagent cet engagement. Toute personne employée par l'IPPF accepte de signer et d'adhérer au code de conduite et à la politique de sauvegarde (des enfants et des adultes vulnérables) de l'IPPF.

L'IPPF a été informée de l'existence de plusieurs offres d'emploi frauduleuses diffusées par courrier électronique à partir de sites web déclarant faussement qu'elles sont publiées par l'IPPF ou en association avec lui.  Ces correspondances, qui peuvent chercher à obtenir de l'argent de leurs destinataires, sont frauduleuses et l'IPPF ne demande aucun frais à aucun stade du processus de recrutement (candidature, entretien, réunion, traitement, formation ou tout autre frais).

This year, the Maputo Protocol will celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, better known as the Maputo Protocol, is an international human rights instrument established by the African Union that went into effect in 2005. It guarantees comprehensive rights to women including the right to take part in the political process, to social and political equality with men, improved autonomy in their reproductive health decisions, and an end to female genital mutilation.  It was adopted by the African Union in Maputo, Mozambique, in 2003 in the form of a protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (adopted in 1981, enacted in 1986).

IPPFAR invites bids from competent firms to submit their Expression of Interest for consultancy services to undertake the production of a digital communication campaign commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Maputo Protocol.

The digital communication campaign will be developed to:

• Raise awareness and sensitize target audiences (lay audience, adolescents and youths in sub-Saharan Africa) on the Maputo Protocol and its 20th anniversary marked in July 2023.
• The campaign will break down this historic document and explain to a lay audience what the Maputo Protocol is, its history, importance, progress made so far in Africa, and where we are lagging.
• The language used for this campaign will be simple and straightforward (no jargon unless necessary), relatable, understandable and accessible to a lay audience.
• The messaging for this campaign will be both informative and fun and light when topics are addressed to allow for fun packaging. Humour will be the medium used to convey most key messages.
• The messengers for this campaign will be all female African influencers with solid social media following and supporters of women’s rights and human rights. These female influencers can be African-based comedians possessing quick repartee and spontaneous funny one-liners, or “zingers”.
• Influencers will be requested to post the campaign content on their social media platforms (Reels and Stories), to mention and tag IPPF Africa Region in their content and encourage their followers to visit and follow our pages.
• The campaign will rely on influencer marketing to convey and amplify IPPFAR’s messages.
• The messages will always be human rights-based and promote women’s rights, equality, equity, and social justice.
• The campaign will give guidance on what audiences can do to support women’s rights and equality.
• The campaign will increase support for the work, mission, and vision of IPPFAR.
• The campaign will increase IPPFAR’s visibility and number of followers on its social media.
