- Develop and conduct a deep-dive training on PSEA and child safeguarding for UNICEF staff and implementing partners working on the three-priority integrated programmes. The trainings should be designed and contextualized with the objective to ensure compliance and that an adequate monitoring mechanism exists in all communities that the programmes are being rolled-out in.
- Conduct a mapping exercise of existing GBV/PSEA service providers and map referral pathways in target districts and communities and provide technical support to address gaps.
Qualification & Experience:
- Advanced university degree (a master’s degree) or equivalent in gender studies, social anthropology, law and women’s rights, sociology, public health, or other field related to PSEA;
- At least 5 years of humanitarian or development experience on sexual violence and other forms of violence against children.
- Experience in and knowledge on PSEA, GBV and child safeguarding.
- Experience developing complaint mechanisms as well as reporting and investigation procedures would be an advantage.
