The governance arrangements for UHC2030 agreed in December 2016 provide for one co-chair from the country constituency and one co-chair from another constituency.

- Preside over, and facilitating semi-annual  and ad hoc SC meetings

- Advise on the planning of SC meetings and overall strategic direction, and periodically supporting the UHC2030 Core Team coordinators to consult with SC members on their roles as constituency representatives and contribution to discussion; and

- Act as an ambassador for the partnership.

Candidates with the following profiles are encouraged to apply:  

- Priority will be given to candidates from civil society organisations from low- and middle-income countries

- Executive leadership accomplishments in civil society organisations and citizen movements around health issues

- Demonstrated influence as board member, chair or similar
