CONSULTANT-SENIOR REGULATORY REVIEWER (AVAREF CLINICAL TRIAL PILOT) - (2604137) Contractual Arrangement: External consultant Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 2 months Job Posting : Oct 29, 2026, 5:40:14 AM Closing Date : Nov 12, 2026, 5:59:00 PM Primary Location : Congo-Brazzaville Organization : AF/DPC Health Promotion, Disease Prevention and Control Schedule : Full-time IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that the deadline for receipt of applications indicated above reflects your personal device's system settings. .. 1. Background and Justification Access to innovative, affordable, safe, and effective medicines, vaccines, and health technologies of assured quality is key to enhancing Africa’s disease-fighting capacities, pandemic readiness, prevention, control, elimination, and eradication of the high communicable and non-communicable disease burden. Research and development (R&D) and manufacturing capacity for these health products in Africa continues to be very low, leaving the tremendous economic and health benefits unlocked. Among the reasons for the low participation in R&D of medicines and vaccines are weak regulatory systems for oversight of clinical development and registration, inadequately resourced clinical trial sites, unwillingness of product developers and sponsors to bring clinical trials to Africa due to fewer experts, poor governance and lack of transparency, and prolonged timelines for evaluation of clinical trial applications by both National Ethics Committees (NECs) and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and the fragmented regulatory systems in the 55 member states including approvals. AVAREF, AdVancing ClinicAl TRials Excellence in AFrica, is a network of NRAs and NECs established 19 years ago by the WHO with its primary mission for capacity building of the NRAs and NECs. AVAREF is leveraging its strong network of NRAs and NECs and associated platform to enhance vaccine research and development. The AVAREF Secretariat situated within Vaccine Research and Innovation Unit (VRUI) within the Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPD) Program is responsible for delivering on the workplan for a wide range of activities including capacity building initiatives, technical assistance to member states, and coordination of programs with partners and stakeholders. To effectively address long standing irritants and bottlenecks for timely regulatory and ethic oversight of clinical trials in Africa, AVAREF initiated the Clinical Trial Pilot project following the Advisory Committee meeting in Dakar (September 2024), with 16 member countries selected based on the number of clinical trials, regional representation, regulatory maturity levels, and readiness to participate in this new phase of reliance-based regulatory collaboration. These member states nominated 3 reviewers each, a total of 48 expert reviewers across clinical, non-clinical, and quality domains, to be part of the pool of reviewers to form the basis of the reliance network; benefit from continuing education from preparatory workshops and seminars to be held over the 2 year period; hold meetings to map and harmonize regulatory frameworks; identify national gaps and opportunities for harmonization towards the establishment consistent frameworks for clinical trial oversight. It is an ambitious initiative designed to align regulatory and ethical review systems across the continent. Throughout the 2-year pilot, a digital platform for CTA submissions, harmonized SOPs, and coordinated review protocols would be developed and/or perfected. It is anticipated that the pool of reviewers would be a resource for CTA reviews to ensure high quality and timely decisions. The project requires expert support staff who are experienced regulatory scientists and reviewers with extensive experience from world class regulatory agencies (ML-4) agencies. The ecosystem within which AVAREF operates require a Secretariat supported by highly competent professionals who are motivated, skilled with the right competencies, expertise, and experience to facilitate the delivery of results. As part of the program of work, AVAREF Secretariat is responsible for the developing the pool of reviewers within the network to support the goal of attracting clinical trials to the continent. 2. Deliverables The Consultant Senior Regulatory Reviewer – AVAREF Clinical Trial Pilot (Clinical) will work closely with the Coordinator, AVAREF Secretariat, the staff within the Secretariat, member states, especially the 48 reviewers from the 16 countries in the AVAREF clinical trial pilot project as a coach, mentor, and second reviewer to support their development within the 2-year pilot period. AVAREF Clinical Trial Pilot Project The AVAREF CT pilot is a major initiative for AVAREF as it implements its 2024-26 Strategic Plan and a foundation for its re-positioning in the current dynamic environment. The 16-member country initiative is an alternative model for provision of clinical trial oversight for Africa as well as lever for the ecosystem and life cycle approach. Given that the pool of reviewers will need coaching and mentorship as they develop the necessary skills for the evaluation of CTAs and other functions, it is imperative that this is provided by an experienced clinical trial evaluator with solid experience. Support for Multi-country Joint Reviews, Scientific Advice, and Facilitated Registration The AVAREF Secretariat supports member states by providing a platform for multi-country joint reviews, scientific advice for clinical trials as well as facilitated registrations for emergency use authorizations of medicines for public health. This function requires expert support and advice, specifically for the nominated reviewers as the process integrates capacity strengthening.

1. Background and Justification

AVAREF, AdVancing ClinicAl TRials Excellence in AFrica, is a network of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) and National Ethics Committees (NECs) established 20 years ago by the WHO with its primary mission for capacity building of the NRAs and NECs. AVAREF is leveraging its strong network of NRAs and NECs and associated platform to enhance vaccine research and development through excellence in clinical trials. The AVAREF Secretariat situated within the Vaccine Research and Innovation Unit (VRIU) within the Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPD) Programme is responsible for delivering on the workplan for a wide range of activities including capacity building initiatives, technical assistance to member states, and coordination of programmes with partners and stakeholders.

In the last two decades, since 2006, AVAREF has achieved a great deal and been involved in the attainment of major milestones for the clinical trial ecosystem. AVAREF has been instrumental in facilitating research and development through clinical trials by the increase in maturity levels for NRAs (currently 8 out of the 48 member states in the region); use of the AVAREF platform to support the registration of emergency use vaccines for Ebola, COVID-19, and Mpox; supporting the clinical development, clinical trials, and approvals of key public health vaccines, including RTS,S (malaria), meningitis (Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae), Ebola, rotavirus, pneumonia, Covid-19, cholera, and cervical cancer; contributing to capacity building and strengthening for a wide range of reviewers within NRAs – training 120 individuals in 2024 and 67 specialists in 2025; all making AVAREF a globally recognized model of regulatory harmonization and excellence on the continent.

AVAREF has been implementing its 2024–26 Strategic Operational and Action Plan which contains three main pillars (partnerships for results, trusted expert support, and life cycle approach) on which its main activity of excellence in capacity building rests, and is developing a 10-year (2025–35) Strategic Plan of Action. The landscape within which AVAREF operates has changed significantly, with 8 member states attaining maturity level 3 (ML-3) and others in line. AVAREF deals not only with vaccines but all therapeutic products. AVAREF finds itself within a highly competitive environment which requires hard transformations to respond to drastic funding reductions, an increasing number of well-funded organizations with similar mandates (namely Africa CDC and AMA), and donors streamlining their funding. In response, AVAREF is transforming from a Secretariat to a programme through building on its existing core body of work such as development of norms and standards for clinical trials, capacity strengthening, and provision of knowledge products.

With the operationalization of AMA, the quest for local production of vaccines as part of the health sovereignty agenda, significant changes in the financial environment with an increasing tendency of traditional donors consolidating their funding envelopes, direct competition amongst African Union organizations and WHO due to overlapping mandates, and the need for clear value addition, AVAREF is transforming into a WHO-AFRO Programme focused on an ecosystem and life cycle approach from R&D to safe use of vaccines.

The AVAREF Programme requires professionals who are competent, motivated, and skilled with the right competencies, expertise, and experience to facilitate the delivery of results. The ability to attract and retain sustainable funds requires delivery of results from ongoing funded initiatives. AVAREF has funding from Wellcome Trust specifically intended for the development of guidelines for assessing complex clinical trials through external working groups managed by AVAREF. These working groups have been in hiatus due to expired consultant contracts. Other key initiatives that have halted include biostatistics training, development of guidelines for anti-snakebite venoms, and ongoing data collection, assessment, and analysis. The consultant is required to advance these work products and attain deliverables critical to the AVAREF Programme.
