WHO Consultant Job 2026: Earn $10,000 Monthly Supporting Green Climate Fund Proposals with Travel Allowance
Overview
The World Health Organization, through Unitaid, is seeking a consultant to support the development of a Green Climate Fund funding proposal focused on climate change and global health. This consultancy is expected to last for a duration of 11 months, running from November 2026 to September 2027, though funding is confirmed only through 30 April 2027 with the remaining period subject to Unitaid funding decisions. The position is an external consultancy rather than a standard staff appointment.
Requirements
Applicants are required to hold an advanced university degree, such as a master's degree or equivalent, in fields including international development, public health, climate change or environmental studies, economics, public policy, international relations, business administration, programme management, or a related discipline. Candidates must also possess a minimum of 10 years of relevant professional experience in consulting, project or programme management, investment, international development, global health, climate finance, proposal development, or related areas. Furthermore, applicants must demonstrate experience in developing funding proposals or investment cases, coordinating complex projects, and engaging with governments, donors, multilateral organisations, implementing partners, or senior stakeholders. Additional training or certification in climate finance, development finance, global health, or project management, as well as experience with Green Climate Fund proposals, climate finance mechanisms, and multi-country programmes, is considered desirable.
What you get
The assignment offers a proposed monthly remuneration of US$10,000, which is subject to confirmation. If contracted for the full 11-month period at this rate, the illustrative total remuneration would be US$110,000, though duration and funding remain subject to confirmation. Travel is required for relevant workshops, consultations, meetings, and stakeholder engagement activities, with travel costs handled under applicable WHO and Unitaid procedures separately from the monthly remuneration.
