Work where the outcomes are real, the standards are high, and the geography is West Africa
SFH careers go deep into public health and broad across geographies. Whether you join a country office, a programme entity, or the SFH group function, you’ll work with colleagues who care about the craft as much as they care about the outcome — and a culture that takes evidence and empathy equally seriously.
A career that compounds
Four things our people consistently say make SFH a different place to build a public-health career.
Work that matters, measurably
Your work shows up in our annual report — in couple-years of protection added, nets distributed, lives reached. Outcomes you can track, not just outputs you can list.
Region-wide reach
Five countries, five programme entities, one operating model. Move between Lagos, Accra, Freetown, Monrovia, and Abidjan as your career grows.
Learning & development
Structured training through the SFH Institute of Public Health, cross-country exchanges, and leadership paths that have produced ministers and country directors.
Standards that hold
Forty years of donor partnerships have built a culture of rigour: clean books, real evaluation, independent whistleblowing, and a board that actually meets.
