About The Project
An organization in Togo is looking for public health professionals to support the development of trainings and communication materials.
Women in Togo continue to face significant socio-economic vulnerabilities, including a high rate of illiteracy and limited access to health care, resources, and information. To address these challenges, Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA Togo) is implementing a three-year initiative aimed at improving the socio-economic well-being of rural communities. The project focuses on expanding access to health services, improving educational opportunities, and promoting sustainable livelihoods. Through skills training, income diversification, and better access to essential resources, the initiative aims to build long‑term resilience. Key program areas include food security, sustainable agriculture, environmental health, natural resource management, and the preservation of livelihoods—with health integrated as a cross‑cutting priority in all activities.
As a Health Systems Advisor, you work with ADRA staff to strengthen the organization’s capacity in quality program implementation. Together, you will develop educational resources and facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions. Your collaborative efforts will equip community members with the knowledge to adopt healthy behaviors and utilize health services appropriately, thus improving their overall wellbeing.
