CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is seeking a qualified Finance and Systems Consultant to assess and strengthen CHOICE’s financial systems and process, especially in line of our new When Youth Lead Program (WYL)

CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is setting up a new youth-led programme: When You(th) Lead (WYL). The programme aims to increase young people’s access to youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services and knowledge, so that all young people can fully realise and enjoy their SRHR and bodily autonomy. This programme will be entirely run by young people, implemented from 2026-2029 by CHOICE in partnership with three other youth-led organisations (YLOs) based in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya.

As part of the inception phase, CHOICE is seeking a qualified Finance and Process Improvement Consultant to assess, strengthen, and optimize the financial administration of the WYL programme by improving financial processes, enhancing internal controls, supporting system integrations and automation, and ensuring compliance with Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) regulations.

About CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality
CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality is the only Netherlands-based youth-led organisation dedicated to SRHR in international development. With over 28 years of experience in ensuring that young people can be meaningfully involved in decisions made about their bodies, this is a new chapter for CHOICE as we will be spearheading our first fully youth-led, multi-year programme. Since 1997, we have become part of and shaped a global youth SRHR movement, which is why under this programme we will be bringing youth-led organisations together in a programme that is designed, led, and driven entirely by youth-led organisations.

CHOICE has a strong track record in facilitating capacity-strengthening workshops on meaningful and inclusive youth participation and youth-led advocacy, influencing UN processes, advocating for youth-friendly funding and supporting young people to engage with national and international policy spaces.

Our core values: CHOICE for Youth & Sexuality strives to be an intersectional feminist, sex-positive, courageous, playful and supportive organisation. These values guide how we work and how we partner with others.
