About the Engagement

The Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) seeks a Policy & Advocacy Consultant to support the advancement of evidence-based Road Safety policy in Viet Nam. Based in Viet Nam, the Consultant will provide technical advisory and analytical services that assist local partners in advancing road safety priorities and strengthening engagement with government and non-government stakeholders.

This is an independent consultancy engagement. The Consultant delivers defined written advisory and technical products and works in an expert advisory and technical capacity. Road safety strategies, campaigns, and policy positions are developed, owned, and advanced by GHAI’s partners and stakeholders; the Consultant’s deliverables inform and strengthen that partner-led work. The Consultant will not represent themselves as an employee, agent, or legal representative of GHAI, will hold no authority to bind GHAI or commit program funds, and will attend stakeholder meetings in their own professional capacity.

In coordination with the Viet Nam Country Director and the Director, Advocacy and Capacity Strengthening, Road Safety, the Consultant will advise partners on country-specific road safety priorities and policy objectives. Depending on program needs, the Consultant’s availability, and the agreed scope, the Consultant may also contribute written technical exchange, peer learning, and advisory support for partners and stakeholders in other countries across the initiative. Areas of focus may include road user behavioral risk factors, vehicle safety, infrastructure, policy implementation, and other evidence-based road safety priorities relevant to the country's context.

Independent Contractor Status

The consultant operates as an independent contractor and retains full control over the scheduling, sequencing, and methods used to complete the deliverables under this agreement, provided all deliverables and timelines specified herein are met. The consultant is free to accept and perform work for other clients during the term of this agreement, provided such engagements do not create a conflict of interest with GHAI’s mission or the consultant’s obligations under this Scope of Work.
