Country: Bangladesh
Closing date: 21 Jan 2020
Saferworld is an independent, international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis
The successful candidate will work within the Bangladesh Country Programme. Since February 2019, Saferworld, in partnership with BRAC, have been implementing a three-year project, focusing on enhancing social cohesion within and between those living in refugee camps and Cox’s Bazar host communities. The project objectives are to enable Rohingya and host community members, including women, youth and marginalised groups, to work together to mitigate and transform tensions and conflict within and between their communities, including those being driven by gender and other social norms.
The job holder’s primary areas of responsibility are as follows:
· Lead Saferworld’s advisory support in Cox’s Bazar, focused primarily on building capacity to integrate conflict sensitivity into a wide array of initiatives, across a diverse range of sectors and actors
· Deliver high-quality technical advice, policy development, research and advocacy work, and provide technical, mentoring and practical support to Saferworld’s in-country team and external partners
· Develop relationships and collaborate with civil society, governmental, multi-lateral, bilateral and corporate actors as relevant and represent Saferworld in relevant networks and working groups.
The person we are looking for will have strong knowledge of conflict sensitivity methodologies, approaches and best practices, including conflict analysis and M&E processes coupled with experience of working with national governments, international organisations, large multi-mandate development NGOs, humanitarian actors and civil society actors – particularly in conflict-affected and fragile contexts. S/he will have a solid understanding of key concepts and principles behind gender sensitivity, and experience of integrating gender-sensitive approaches into humanitarian, development and security interventions in a range of contexts. Experience and an understanding of the Bangladesh context is desired.
