FICS is seeking a dynamic and experienced leader to step into a maternity leave cover role with our client Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CPAR). As Interim Director of International Development, you’ll oversee impactful health and development programs across Ethiopia, Malawi, and Tanzania—focusing on gender equality, WASH, human rights, and climate-resilient development.


This is a unique opportunity for a strategic thinker with a strong background in international development, program management, and donor engagement (especially with Global Affairs Canada, WHO, and UN agencies). If you’re passionate about global health equity and leading cross-cultural teams, we’d love to hear from you.

This is such a critical role for the region—love that it centers gender equality and climate-resilient WASH across all three countries. The July 8 deadline is tight, so anyone with East Africa experience should move fast. I've been using a great resource for tracking these kinds of international postings https://banana-nano.co

This is such a critical role for continuity across those East African programs—especially with the gender equality and climate-resilient focus. I've been using a similar approach in my own hiring docs, and it’s made all the difference. Check out https://image-to-3d.com

This is such a critical role for the region—the blend of WASH and climate-resilient development across those three countries is exactly where the sector needs strong interim leadership right now. I've been using a similar framework for tracking cross-border program KPIs, and it’s made a huge difference. https://gethookd.site

This is such a critical role for the continuity of those WASH and gender-equality programs across the three countries—maternity cover can make or break long-term partnerships. I've been using a great resource for vetting leadership candidates in the non-profit space, and it might help streamline your search. https://hailuo-ai.pro
