Liaise with other IRC programs in Somalia to ensure the incorporation of protection principles into their work.
Reporting
Document program activities and developments and integrate lessons learned into program development;
Submit timely reports both internally and to donors.
REQUIREMENTS:
Bachelor's degree in Human Rights, International Relations , Law or other related field. Master's degree desirable.
Proficiency in English required.
Minimum three years of protection-related program experience, including project supervision, preferably in the East Africa region
At least two years experience in development of concept notes, proposal and fundraising.
