Impact Investment Consultant, Global Health Equity Fund "GHEF"
(100%, 6 months consultancy contract, based in Geneva or remotely)
ABOUT US
The WHO Foundation, launched in May 2020 and headquartered in Geneva, was created as an independent Swiss foundation affiliated with but independent of WHO. Its mission is to mobilize greater private capital and partnership to advance the mission of the World Health Organization (WHO), enabling catalytic impact on the people whose lives rely on WHO's work and facilitating innovation to maximize the impact of the resources we invest.
WHO plays a singular role in leading the global health ecosystem, acting as a first-responder to health crises — including the current conflict in Ukraine and on behalf of the 15+ million people in urgent need of aid in Tigray and Yemen; producing technical guidelines and tools to prevent and treat disease; and acting as a country-level convener with an unparalleled level of trust. The crises of the 21st century, including COVID-19, have made clear both the inequity of access to effective and affordable healthcare and the indispensable role of WHO. Yet WHO lacks sufficient resources to fulfil its mandate. And, beyond funding, its vision cannot be achieved by the public sector alone.
The WHO Foundation was therefore created as an independent Swiss foundation affiliated with but independent of WHO to marshal new resources from philanthropists, foundations, businesses, and individuals to support its mission: promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. WHOF is a nexus for unique opportunity in global health, facilitating game-changing opportunities between the private sector and WHO. Our focus is on mobilizing grant income, shared value partnerships, and investment to power WHO's work.
ABOUT Global Health Equity Fund "GHEF"

This fund is founded by a global venture investing platform and the WHO Foundation is the health expert partner, ensuring that each portfolio company keeps equity and inclusion at the heart of their growth strategies including signing an open access pledge through which the portfolio companies commit to making their solutions and IP available widely.
