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.
