Contract · Dhaka, Bangladesh
Simprints is a UK-registered non-profit founded in 2015. Our mission is to transform the way the world fights poverty. We build technology to radically increase transparency and effectiveness in global development, making sure that every vaccine, every dollar, every public good reaches the people who need them most. We have provided biometric solutions in 17 countries, and to date have reached over 2.5 million people.
Simprints has the capacity to solve this problem at scale because of strong partnerships with governments and NGOs. We have an existing portfolio of projects in Bangladesh where Simprints biometric solutions are helping to verify the delivery of health services like MNCH and Routine Immunisation and in social protection. Following the success of our ongoing work we are well-positioned to broaden and deepen our portfolio of funders, projects and partnerships in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is renowned for ambitious innovation in technology and development. Initiatives like SMART Bangladesh drive technological potential to advance Bangladesh’s further development, and digital health is a significant part of the Government of Bangladesh’s strategy. Therefore, Simprints’ mission and biometric solutions are excellently aligned with helping to achieve the Government’s goals.
A local consultant is sought to support and grow our portfolio of partnerships with local Funders and NGOs, and with the local representative offices of international funders. The consultant will also play a leading role in deepening and broadening the existing partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, that will see Simprints solutions integrated into the Government’s Digital roadmap. This includes leading the engagements with all Government stakeholders, and ensuring full compliance with Data Protection and ID legislation, which is a prerequisite for any project involving data and ID. The consultancy will provide localised work with a specific focus on Bangladesh, in close liaison with Simprints’ existing global Partnerships team and Bangladesh-based teams. The Consultant will provide offline and online government liaison, project coordination, and advocacy in the digital health sector in Rwanda.
