PSI seeks an energetic and creative candidate as Senior Technical Advisor, Reproductive Rights to provide technical and operational leadership to Delivering Innovation in Self-care (DISC), a $18-million five-year investment made possible with generous support from the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). The DISC project works with consumers, healthcare providers, governments and health systems in Nigeria and Uganda to catalyze voluntary self-injection of DMPA-SC contraceptives and promote additional self-care behaviors.
