Status: Contract
Scope of Research: The Women’s Health Project (WHP) seeks to improve the data and evidence base for women’s health, catalyzing policy, funding, decision-making, and actions for stronger family planning and maternal, newborn, and child health (FP/MNCH) outcomes in Nigeria.
Research: The researchers, located in each of the 36 states and the FCT, will collect data and gather evidence to inform the development of two annual reports: the Women’s Health Index (WHI) and the PHC (primary healthcare) Readiness Index (PRI).

In parallel, the PHC Readiness Index (PRI) is an annual data-driven evaluation of the preparedness of PHCs in five states (Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Lagos) with respect to the provision of primary healthcare for women and girls. These reports will provide actionable data-driven and evidence-based recommendations to subnational governments, policymakers, and other stakeholders for improved health outcomes for women and girls, especially those in marginalized communities, in Nigeria.
Requirements: We seek skilled public health researchers with expertise in data collection, data analysis, desk research, evidence gathering, and excellent writing skills. Prior experience working in or conducting similar research is highly desirable.
