Background: Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential. We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises. Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. |

Duties and responsibilities: Program Summary ECW’s Multi-Year Resilience Program (MYRP) for Sudan is geared towards addressing the most pressing chronic and emergent, humanitarian and development educational needs in the country. The overall goal of the program is to sustainably improve learning outcomes, availability of opportunities, and overall well-being for crisis-affected children and adolescents in Sudan by introducing a whole-of-child approach to education provision. Children and adolescents’ access to quality education in a safe and protective learning environment that fosters resilience and improves overall well-being will be promoted, while local education systems will also be strengthened to ensure that the educational gains from this program last well beyond the initial implementation period. Both of these aspects are critical for the Sudan context, in which approximately one in three children are out of school and exposed to a myriad of risks, and in which there has been a chronic underinvestment in education infrastructure, teacher training, and education systems over the past several decades. ROLE PURPOSE: Save the Children believes that it is critical to directly address gender-based discrimination and promote gender equality in order to advance our vision for a world where every child attains their equal right to survival, protection, and learning. Save the Children recognizes that gender inequalities are exacerbated in times of crises, and create major barriers for sustainable development. We work to ensure all our programs, across the humanitarian-development spectrum identify and account for the different needs, abilities and opportunities of all stakeholders. Save the Children further strives to utilize gender-transformative approaches whenever possible, supporting meaningful and lasting affects in the lives of children and adolescents. Save the Children seeks to advance gender equality in all aspects of its work and across the organization, guided by Save the Children’s Gender Equality Policy.
