Consultant – report on disability inclusive sexual and reproductive health services in West and Central Africa

MSI Reproductive Choices (MSI) is seeking a French speaking communications consultant to write a report on the work and achievements of the Women’s Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) Programme to support disability inclusive sexual and reproductive health (SRH).

The Women’s Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) Programme is the UK Government’s flagship programme to scale up its support to integrated sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services in a range of countries across Africa and Asia. Equity and “leaving no-one behind” are at the core of WISH and as such, disability inclusion has been a major component of the programme. Until March 2023, Leonard Cheshire was the WISH Lot 1 dedicated Disability Inclusion partner organisation, providing technical support and guidance to all WISH Lot 1 partners and developing a range of tools and resources with partner organisations. Since April 2023, Sightsavers has taken over as the WISH consortium Disability Inclusion partner and is continuing Leonard Cheshire’s work.

The consultant will be tasked with researching and writing a 10-page report on “The contributions of the WISH programme to more disability inclusive SRHR in West and Central Africa” (working title). The report is intended to demonstrate both the successes and impact of the programme and to highlight the need for continued investment in disability inclusion in the region.

This assignment is estimated at up to 14 days and will involve the following tasks: briefing; literature / desk-based review; key informant interviews; first and second draft and final version of the report.
