Results for Development (R4D) is a leading non-profit global development partner. We collaborate with change agents around the world — government officials, civil society leaders and social innovators — to create strong systems that support healthy, educated people. We help our partners move from knowing their goal to knowing how to reach it. We combine global expertise in health, education and nutrition with analytic rigor, practical support for decision-making and implementation and access to peer problem-solving networks. Together with our partners, we build self-sustaining systems that serve everyone and deliver lasting results. Then we share what we learn so others can achieve results for development, too.

We have a unique and vibrant culture at R4D. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of our work environment and help advance our mission. Diversity—of ideas, identities, perspectives and backgrounds—is vital to who we are and what we do. We seek people who embrace these values and will help reinforce them. Our work culture is collaborative, creative and entrepreneurial. We operate based on trust and respect. Teams across the organization frequently collaborate on programmatic work and support each other in continuously building a better R4D.

Program: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has increased demand for rehabilitation services and underscored the need to strengthen the rehabilitation sector by addressing issues with governance, financing, workforce, service delivery, information systems, and assistive technology. The USAID-funded Rehabilitation for Ukraine (Rehab4U) project is working to create sustainable and fully integrated rehabilitation services within the Ukrainian health system across all levels of care. Rehab4U is led by Momentum Wheels for Humanity (MWH), with support from Results for Development (R4D), Deloitte, the National Assembly of People with Disabilities of Ukraine, and Project Hope.

Rehab4U is supporting the Government of Ukraine in its initiative to strengthen financing and governance for rehabilitation services as part of ongoing efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of health services.

The consultant will specifically provide guidance on planning and delivery of highly specialized rehabilitation services needed during times of war.

This is a remote consultancy that is anticipated to start immediately. The estimated period of performance is 11 months (November 2024 – September 2025), with the possibility for contract extension based on the evolution of R4D’s work plan.

  • Review and provide constructive and strategic feedback on work done by other experts involved in this work, as relevant.

  • Strong understanding of health systems strengthening concepts and country-level initiatives, especially as they relate to the control and management of conditions amenable to rehabilitation and the intersection of health sectors with disability-related sectors.
  • Proven track record of producing high quality analytical products, especially as they relate to policy analysis at country and global levels. Short-listed candidates will be asked to provide samples of such work.
