Project Brief
Ipas is a nonprofit organization working with partners worldwide to advance reproductive health and justice by expanding access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services. Since 2011, Ipas has been working in Bangladesh in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), its directorates, and other relevant ministries to improve the availability, accessibility, affordability, and quality of SRHR services, with a focus on Family Planning (FP), Menstrual Regulation (MR), and Post-Abortion Care (PAC). Ipas works across rural, urban, and humanitarian settings to ensure women and girls have access to affordable, safe, respectful, and comprehensive SRHR care. The organization also strengthens women’s agency, promotes positive social norms on SRHR, supports evidence generation through research, and advocates for evidence-based policies and their implementation at scale. Its holistic approach to strengthening resilient SRHR ecosystems includes capacity building of the health workforce, health systems strengthening, improved Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) and logistics systems, supportive policy advocacy, and community engagement.

This project supported by The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) will work for the next three years starting from July 2026 with MOH&FW, health departments of City Corporations, other urban health actors including private sectors and general practitioners (GPs) to strengthen SRHR ecosystems in urban areas particularly in DNCC and DSCC in a sustainable way.

The incumbent will plan and implement initiatives to strengthen SRHR services, particularly Family Planning (FP), Menstrual Regulation (MR), Post-Abortion Care (PAC), and the management of GBV survivors in urban health facilities, especially urban clinics previously operated under UPHCSDP and now transferring under MOH&FW, as well as among private practitioners in DSCC and DNCC. The Technical Coordinator will facilitate capacity-building initiatives through training, mentoring, and onsite support for service providers, and will undertake initiatives to improve facility readiness and quality of care through mentoring, monitoring, and health systems strengthening support. S/he will support compliance with relevant SOPs, proper utilization of equipment and commodities, and strengthening of record-keeping and reporting systems. The role also requires maintaining effective coordination within teams and with government and non-government stakeholders at the local level to enhance the visibility of the organization’s SRHR initiatives. Additionally, s/he will provide technical inputs for event and activity reports in consultation with the Project Manager/focal person and the HS teams.
