WHO Consultant Vacancy | Salary USD 3,995–6,980/Month | Remote GCF Project Support

Climate change is no longer a distant threat for small island states—it is a daily public health challenge. In the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), rising temperatures, extreme weather, and disease outbreaks such as dengue are placing growing pressure on already stretched health systems. Strengthening resilience is no longer optional; it is essential.

To respond to these challenges, the World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking a remote consultant to support the closing phase of a Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness Project focused on enhancing the resilience of health systems to climate change and emerging pandemics in RMI.

About the Assignment

Under the supervision of the Pacific Climate Change and Environment (PCE) Team Coordinator, the consultant will provide hands-on programme management support to ensure the successful delivery and closure of the GCF Readiness Project.

The assignment will support national efforts to improve coordination, strengthen institutional capacity, document lessons learned, and ensure high-quality reporting—helping translate climate and health planning into lasting impact for RMI’s population of around 58,000 people.

• Location: Remote / home-based
• Contract duration: 80 days over 5 months
• Payband: Level A (USD 3,995–6,980/month or USD 198–349/day)

What You Will Do

Working closely with the project team, the consultant will:

• Provide overall project management support, tracking workplans and deliverables
• Coordinate weekly project meetings and prepare clear documentation and reports
• Support project communications, including success stories and visibility materials
• Organize and maintain project documentation and internal knowledge repositories
• Contribute to technical outputs, assessments, and lessons-learned documentation
• Help design and organize final best-practice workshops and project closure meetings

This role is critical in ensuring the project closes smoothly, with strong learning and practical results that can inform future climate-health work in the Pacific.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is ideal for professionals who:

• Hold a university degree in international development, public health, project management, environmental studies, or a related field
• Have at least two years of experience supporting climate change and health projects
• Bring strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
• Are comfortable working independently in a multicultural, remote environment
• Are fluent in English

Experience working in the Pacific region is a strong asset.

Why This Matters

This consultancy goes beyond project support. It contributes directly to building more resilient health systems in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions—helping communities better prepare for climate shocks and future pandemics.

If you are motivated by impact-driven work at the intersection of climate change and public health, this WHO consultancy offers a meaningful opportunity to put your expertise to work where it matters most.
