PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world's most pressing health challenges. Following a major institutional transformation, PATH is entering its next strategic cycle (PATH 2030) with a leaner structure, a sharpened programmatic focus, and a mandate for financial discipline and operational excellence. The global health financing landscape is being redrawn. Official development assistance is contracting, US government funding has become structurally more volatile, and philanthropic capital, led by the Gates Foundation is playing an increasingly decisive role in what gets funded and how. In this environment, PATH's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is not a back-office steward but a front-line strategic actor: the financial architect of the organization's resilience and a credible counterpart to the world's most sophisticated health funders. This is a newly consolidated role, created deliberately at the center of PATH's next chapter. The Mandate - Three Board-Level Priorities 1. Financial resilience and diversification • Build a financial model that withstands funding shocks: scenario-based planning, disciplined reserves policy, and a deliberate shift in the funding mix across USG, multilateral, philanthropic, and earned-income streams. • Deliver PATH's overhead commitments while protecting mission-critical capacity; own the cost narrative with funders and the Board. 2. Funder confidence and strategic partnership • Serve as PATH's senior financial counterpart to the Gates Foundation and other major philanthropic partners: co-investment structures, milestone-based funding, financial reporting that meets foundation-grade standards, and joint financial planning on flagship programs. • Maintain exemplary compliance and audit performance across USG requirements for a US-headquartered NGO IRS 501(c)(3), Form 990, Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), federal awards management, and single audits as the foundation of institutional trust. 3. Operational modernization • Lead Finance, IT, and Continuous Improvement as one integrated agenda: modern enterprise systems, data-driven decision support, automation, and measurable efficiency gains. • Build and lead a high-performing, globally distributed team across regions, cultures, and time zones; strengthen financial management capability in country offices.

TERMS OF REFERENCE Co-conduct Implementation Research on Two Agricultural Programmes in the Terai of Nepal We are inviting applications from agricultural departments actively engaged with farmers and agricultural households in the Eastern Gangetic Plains or the Terai region of Nepal. Background Policies are key to holistic sectoral development in any economy. There is an understood gap between the design and implementation of policies in the Global South, including agricultural policies and programmes. This gap not only leads to poor returns on funds spent but also highlights intra-sectoral dissonance that fails to create lasting positive change in society. This study is part of a larger multi-country comparative analysis of the implementation of farm and non-farm agricultural initiatives in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP). For the analysis, two agricultural diversification programmes each in Bangladesh, India and Nepal are examined through primary qualitative data. The aim is to understand how the selected programmes are supposed to work and to identify the exact nodes of leakage in their Theory of Change (TOC). The study is situated in the EGP of Nepal, where the ACIAR-funded RUPANTAR project remains active, specifically the Terai. Its findings might help provide tailored policy suggestions to government stakeholders on two active and key agricultural programmes in Bangladesh. The findings also add to the wider understanding of how to tailor agricultural policy delivery within heterogeneous contexts and institutional irregularities. I. Objective This survey will include two or three villages where the selected agricultural programmes have already been implemented. Ideally, the villages will be located where the ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) funded project, RUPANTAR, remains active, to align the study and its suggestions with the overall work conducted under the project. The survey instrument will collect data on the actual implementation of the programmes and the underlying assumptions that build the associated Theory of Change (TOC) for each. We plan to collect data from all stakeholders involved on two key nodes of programme implementation: inputs and activities. These include policymakers, local bureaucrats, regional implementation bodies, field extension agents and beneficiary farmers. Qualitative data will be collected through in-person interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs).
