Girl Effect Local Implementing Partner Jobs in Ethiopia

Girl Effect Local Implementing Partner Jobs in Ethiopia

The Scope

The role of the Local Implementing Partner is crucial; a trusted, committed and flexible partner passionate about empowering girls and women will be the ideal partner for the intended scope of engagement.

Accordingly, the selected Local Partner will lead the on-the-ground community mobilisation in the selected target woredas, running the in-school and community interventions for RI and HPV demand generation interventions and approaches. The following are some of the necessary components of the anticipated partnership but are not exhaustive;

Cultural Scoping and Community Engagement:

The local partner needs good local government/leadership and facilitates any necessary permissions to run the community intervention in the woredas. (Having a currently running project is an added advantage.)

The Local Partner will be responsible for identifying local adaptations to the anticipated on-the-ground community work by providing tailored strategies and a list of activities that are proven to work in the locations.

Recruitment of HEWs/CHWs and schools :

The local partners will be responsible for recruiting, training, deploying and following up on HEWs/CHWs in the indicated woredas. Moreover, there will be a school program that runs for 6 weeks during the HPV vaccine rollout timelines. The local partner will select the schools, recruit and train focal persons and follow up on the implementation of the school program and provide any assistance during the implementation.

Girl Effect will support the recruitment process by providing job descriptions, recruitment criteria, and quality assurance through the selection process. Moreover, Girl Effect will help the local partner in providing the training and provide SBC-tailored content throughout the implementation.

The Local Partner will provide woreda facilitators to support the HEWs/CHWs and the school program and provide the necessary follow-up for the smooth implementation of the project.

Girl Effect will take a ‘train the trainer’ approach to equip the Local Partner with the knowledge and skills required to run SBC-driven community mobilization.

Running Community Discussions/Mobilization:

The Local Partner will be responsible for designing and running community discussions with target communities. The partner will suggest effective ways to mobilize the community using the HEWs/CHWs and other key influential community members to advance vaccine knowledge and acceptance. Girl Effect will provide guidance on the target, suggest ways and provide SBC messaging based on identified targets.

Running the School Program

The partner will be in charge of selecting 5 schools per woreda for the school programme, which will run 4-6 weeks before the HPV vaccine campaign period. The partner will recruit and train school facilitators to deliver school content to their students. Girl Effect will provide guidance on the program's structure and during the training of the school program facilitators. Furthermore, during the campaign period, the partner will provide follow-up for the focal persons in the school to effectively run the contents through mini-media and Girl Ambassadors.

Monitoring and Reporting:

The local partner is required to provide an effective data capturing, reporting and monitoring design as part of its proposal and demonstrate strong organizational capacity to undertake the task. Girl Effect will provide guidance and assist on the indicators and overall reporting timelines, and the necessary documentation

required.

Safety:

The Local Partner will ensure safety by building a safety code of conduct across its work ethics, including safeguarding young people during the implementation of the project. Staff working directly with children or who will have access to children’s personal data will receive training on safeguarding and Girl Effect’s minimum requirements for safe conduct. Girl Effect and the Local Partner will work collaboratively to ensure the correct safeguarding policy is in place.

Regional events:

When necessary, the local partner will be required to organise dissemination events to disseminate different information in the region and will serve as a focal point in the regions and specific woredas. Girl Effect will work with the local partner to organise such events.
