CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is seeking a qualified Finance and Systems Consultant to assess and strengthen CHOICE’s financial systems and process, especially in line of our new When Youth Lead Program (WYL)

CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is setting up a new youth-led programme:
When You(th) Lead (WYL). The programme aims to increase young people’s access to youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services and knowledge, so that all young people can fully realise and enjoy their SRHR and bodily autonomy. This programme will be entirely run by young people, implemented from  by CHOICE in partnership with three other youth-led organisations (YLOs) based in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya.

As part of the inception phase, CHOICE is seeking a qualified Finance and Process Improvement Consultant to assess, strengthen, and optimize the financial administration of the WYL programme by improving financial processes, enhancing internal controls, supporting system integrations and automation, and ensuring compliance with Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) regulations.

About CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality
CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is the only Netherlands-based youth-led organisation dedicated to SRHR in international development.
