State Security Consultant at Malaria Consortium (13 Openings)

Malaria Consortium is one of the world’s leading non-profit organizations specializing in the comprehensive prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable and underprivileged populations in Africa and Asia.

Increasingly, Malaria Consortium’s interventions in malaria are effectively being integrated with other similar public health interventions for greater impact, thereby expanding the remit to include child health and neglected tropical disease interventions.

Background

To carry out a successful SITAN/SRA, the operational areas are identified and trained security personnel engaged to review previous (including between cycle reviews) and current security reports about these and nearby areas, liaise with formal security agencies and relevant personnel to obtain further firsthand (and privileged) information, visit selected communities for direct observation and engagement with relevant stakeholders and gatekeepers.

These findings are discussed with stakeholders and agreement reached on the identified threats and vulnerabilities.

Goal of the Assignment

Even though Malaria Consortium has Security Officers and a security focal person as part of the staff, external short term technical assistants (TAs) would be engaged because the SITAN/SRA needs to be completed quickly to fit into the overall SMC and AZM process and timelines.

There is also the need for independent security person that have connection with the security agencies and therefore can bring their knowledge of the landscape to produce better document to inform programming.

State Consultant

The State Consultant will be a security management expert with experience in security assessments and risk mitigation planning. Other requirements include:

Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences or other relevant security related Degree.
Professional certifications (CPP, PSP) are an added advantage
Minimum of 5 years’ experience working in the context of a complex and challenging operating environment.
Demonstrable experience in security assessment/evaluation.
Good report writing skills and communication with stakeholders; and
Experience working in highly resource-constrained environments.

Deadline: 13th February, 2026; before 5:00pm.
