Tdh Proposal Development Consultant Jobs in Kenya
Tdh Proposal Development Consultant Jobs in Kenya
ContextTdh has been present since 2011 in Dadaab refugee camps, near the Somali border, providing comprehensive prevention and response services to children, adolescents and their families, and continues to expand tailor made individual and family case management services to identified children with protection needs.
Dadaab refugee camp (comprises Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley camps) is the third largest refugee complex in the world.
Somali refugees constitute 96.30% of the population while other groups from South Sudan, Yemen, DRC, Sudan, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Eritrea, Uganda and Tanzania.
Despite camp consolidation and encouraging voluntary repatriation in the past two years, Dadaab continues to host a high number of refugees, the majority of which are Somali.
The need of protection and care for refugee children in the three camps remains critical. Children’s exposure to violence, exploitation and abuse has been exacerbated by an increased presence of undocumented asylum-seekers, including new arrivals and those who came back after repatriation.
Multiple protection concerns still remain as a result of limited availability of services in the camps due to the reduction of humanitarian investment in the area.
Tdh is currently implementing four grants in Dadaab refugee camp to address child protection concerns from most vulnerable children and families. Tdh is seeking to develop a two-year proposal for one of Tdh’s major donors
