PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.

Open Call for Consultants – Health Policy Advocacy and Communications

Working across our portfolio PATH's Center for Advocacy & Policy turns evidence into policy adoption and sustainable financing. We partner with governments, regional bodies, and multilateral institutions to strengthen the evidence, relationships, and policy processes that inform decisions on budgets, regulation, and health system priorities helping accelerate access to proven health innovations. As our portfolio grows across sub-Saharan Africa, donor capitals, and multilateral forums, we are building a roster of experienced consultants and specialist organizations to provide surge capacity for defined, time-bound assignments.

Scopes of Work

Selected consultants will be engaged on a project-by-project basis and may support a range of activities, including:

  • Political economy literacy and analysis, stakeholder mapping, and influence strategy in specific countries or regional bodies
  • Advocacy campaign design and delivery — theory of change, power mapping, message and narrative strategy, moment planning, and coalition mobilization to secure specific policy or financing decisions
  • Development of advocacy tools including policy briefs, positioning papers, technical reports, and presentations
  • Health financing and public financial management analysis — budget cycle engagement, domestic resource mobilization, investment cases, and debt-and-fiscal-space framing
  • Rapid evidence synthesis — ability to surface relevant research quickly and distill it into decision-relevant form
  • Data visualization and storytelling — making complex data intuitive and politically compelling
  • Government relations.
  • Technical policy engagement with ministries of health, finance, and national regulatory authorities
  • Regional and continental advocacy support (African Union, Africa CDC, AUDA NEPAD, African Medicines Agency) and multilateral engagement (WHO governing bodies, Global Fund, Gavi, Unitaid)
  • Development of advocacy communications products — media strategy, op-ed and press material development, polling and public opinion research, and launch packages
  • Facilitation and convening — designing and running iterative collaborative processes with diverse actors (government officials, donors, civil society, researchers); managing group dynamics across power asymmetries
  • Event management - design and delivery for high-level global and regional moments and events
  • Advocacy and funding proposal development — articulating theory of change and translating advocacy strategy into competitive proposals for philanthropic, bilateral, and multilateral donors
