Technical Documentation Advisor Pathfinder International

Pathfinder International is a global leader in sexual and reproductive health. We place reproductive health care at the center of all that we do—believing that it is not only a fundamental human right, but is critical for expanding life opportunities for women, families, communities, and nations, and paving the way for transformations in environmental stewardship, decreases in population pressures, and innovations in poverty reduction. Pathfinder provides women, men, and adolescents with a range of quality health services—from contraception and maternal care to HIV prevention and AIDS care and treatment. Pathfinder strives to strengthen access to family planning, ensure availability of safe abortion services and post-abortion care, advocate for sound reproductive health policies, and, through all of our work, improve the rights and lives of the people we serve.
Program Overview
Pathfinder’s Technical Services Unit provides guidance and expertise in a variety of technical areas to strengthen Pathfinder field offices and government and NGO partners, who develop and implement Pathfinder projects. These areas of technical expertise include contraception, abortion and post abortion care, maternal and newborn health, HIV/AIDS, adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health, behavior change, community mobilization, technical documentation and communications, and knowledge management. TSU staff provide overall programmatic direction in their key areas, technical support to field offices, document programmatic activities, and produce curricula and technical tools.

The Technical Documentation Advisor I is a member of the Technical Services Unit.
