Ipas Africa Alliance for Women’s Reproductive Health and Rights works in Kenya and Uganda—and with regional East Africa partners—to reduce deaths from unsafe abortion, to expand the availability of safe abortion care, and to improve the legal and policy environment for safe abortion across the continent. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Ipas Africa Alliance has programs to train safe abortion providers, support health clinics that offer abortion services, and develop youth champions for sexual and reproductive rights. In Uganda, programs also support comprehensive sexuality education that includes safe abortion, and Ipas Africa Alliance has worked with Uganda’s Ministry of Health Reproductive Division and a team of other partners to develop national standards and guidelines for reducing death and injury from unsafe abortion.
We welcome suppliers, including independent consultants, academic and professional institutions, community-based, faith-based, sub-national/national, non-governmental, and global organizations, to collaborate with us to advance the Ipas mission. Our suppliers become valued partners in our supply chain as they enable us to achieve our mission cost-effectively, timely, sustainably and in line with our policies. Our procurement teams are focused on fostering enduring mutually beneficial relationships for our suppliers and Ipas. We expect all our suppliers to be committed to the Ipas mission and to share our sense of purpose and commitment to enhance a sustainable abortion ecosystem that ensures that all people have bodily autonomy and can access the essential health care they need.

Introduction and Background
Ipas is a global network committed to ending preventable deaths and disabilities from unsafe abortions. The Ipas Africa Alliance, a key part of the Ipas Impact Network, provides strategic direction and support for this mission across the East Africa region. The Ipas Africa Alliance Board is a critical leadership body responsible for governance, strategic oversight, resource mobilization, and advocacy.
To ensure the board remains well-equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), a recent skills mapping exercise has identified a need to fill specific competency gaps. This recruitment seeks to appoint two new Board Members who will strengthen the Ipas Africa Alliance’s strategic capacity in the following key areas:
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Human Resources (HR) and People Strategy
- Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
- Youth Representation
Both positions will be held by individuals who bring a mixture of these competencies and a strong foundation and commitment to SRHR
The Role of the Board Member
The new Board members will be strategic leaders and advocates who bring a unique blend of expertise, passion, and commitment to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights across the East African region. These individuals will provide critical insights and guidance, with a particular focus on the identified skill gaps, and contribute to the board’s overall mission.
