UNFPA Myanmar is seeking an International Consultant to lead two primary pillars of work: Strategic Partnerships, Resource Mobilization, and Strategic Advocacy; and Private Sector Engagement (PSE). Operating in a complex and volatile environment, the consultant will maintain and expand a robust Resource Mobilization Strategy while establishing a formalized, risk-informed, and conflict-sensitive Private Sector Engagement framework. The overarching objective is to secure multi-year sustainable funding, position UNFPA strategically within the humanitarian-development ecosystem, and operationalize scalable private sector partnerships.

• Position UNFPA strategically within UNCT, HCT, joint programming initiatives, and inter-agency working groups.
• Establish standardized systems and quality assurance protocols for timely, results-based donor reporting in line with RBM standards.
• Design and deliver internal training sessions for Country Office staff on donor intelligence, partnership management, proposal writing, and resource mobilization.
• Finalize a conflict-sensitive, sanction-compliant PSE Strategy incorporating tiered screening protocols and context-specific risk mitigation.
• Directly oversee, track, and evaluate 1–2 low-risk pilot private sector partnerships and refine the strategy for full Country Office adoption.
• Expand partnership mapping across key business sectors (telecom, logistics, MSMEs, impact investors) and establish SOPs for long-term institutional continuity.
