Role Purpose:

The East and Southern Africa Regional Project Manager - Child Protection in Emergencies Professional Development Programme will work to protect children in armed conflict through the adaptation, rollout & delivery of the East and Southern Africa Child Protection in Emergencies Professional Development Programme (ESA CPiE PDP).

Building on the successful capacity building model developed by Save the Children and now established in the Asia Pacific region, the ESA CPiE PDP will raise national & regional CPiE response capacity. Using the results of a regional CPiE Capacity Gap Analysis and the CPiE Mapping & Market Analysis data, a comprehensive CPiE capacity building initiative will be designed to meet the priority needs of organisations and individuals responding on the ground.

Key activities will include working with other SCI stakeholders to identify an appropriate sustainable business model for the programme in the region, adapting existing content to the ESA context, recruiting a regional facilitation team, the design & rollout of a six-month blended learning programme with explicit linkages to the global CPiE PDP capacity building portfolio as well as any relevant regional initiatives.
