Aids Fonds Bridging the Gaps facilitator learning institute Jobs in Nairobi, Kenya

Bridging the Gaps is looking for a learning professional to facilitate a three days Learning Institute. The learning facilitator will link and coordinate the different sessions and facilitate the learning process (transforming knowledge into action). Our preference goes to a learning expert/facilitator with expertise on community empowerment and/or meaningful involvement of key populations and someone who is based in Kenya.

The facilitator must have the ability to manage cooperation processes using action learning methods, coach participants, moderate working groups and plenary discussions. The facilitator will also lead the production of a final document suggesting how to translate the presented practices into action.

It is expected from the facilitator to allocate at least six working days for the Learning Institute. Two days for the development of the learning proposal and preparation of the program, in partnership with Bridging the Gaps (emails and Skype) between 20/1 and 24/4. Half of a day on the 24/1 and half of a day on 28/4 in Nairobi for rounding up the program, dynamics and evaluation and the three days of the Learning Institute.

1. About Bridging the Gaps

Our mission: Achieving universal access to HIV/STI prevention, treatment, care and support for sex workers, LGBT people and people who use drugs. Bridging the Gaps works towards a world where there is no hostility against homosexuality; where a drug user can access clean needles without risking to be arrested; and where a sex worker doesn’t need to fear violence from clients nor from the police.

Not only because it is important that their human rights are respected, protected and fulfilled, but also because it is an essential precondition to improve their health. Please access our website for more information: http://www.hivgaps.org. Our Alliance partners (COC, MSMGF, Mainline, AFEW International, Aidsfonds Sex Work Programme, GNP+, ITPC, INPUD & NSWP) will bring their expertise regarding community empowerment and meaningful involvement.
