About Free to be Me
Free to me is an ambitious, daring and innovative program that will help build and maintain a vibrant LGBTIQ+ movement that is confident and capable to lobby and advocate for their human and economic rights. The program is led by an alliance of three consortium members – Hivos (the lead party), ILGA World and Positive Vibes – and three technical partners – Sogi campaigns, The Global Interfaith Network (GIN) and Workplace Pride. Together the alliance will coach, accompany, fund and train LGBTIQ+ persons and organizations to influence norms and attitudes, generate (public) support, and promote laws, policies and regulations that recognize, respect and protect LGBTIQ+ people’s human and economic rights.
The program will be implemented in 14 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
The program started on 1 April 2021. The program is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the Power of Voices program, which is part of the Strengthening Civil Society subsidy framework. The five-year program has a budget of EUR 37 million.
Job context
Mutual capacity strengthening is a core element of the Free to be Me program, aiming for it to contribute to stronger, coordinated, LGBTIQ+ -led lobby and advocacy. Free to be Me considers capacity strengthening as a reciprocal process, in which each of the participants both has things to offer and to learn. Capacity strengthening will take place both through workshops and trainings, and through exchange of experiences between organizations and persons, accompaniment and coaching. We are looking for a person to design, implement and guide capacity strengthening efforts. Organizing and realizing on- and offline linking & learning events is part of the job.
The Capacity Strengthening/Linking and Learning officer will support and carry out activities in all program countries across Africa, the MENA region and Southeast Asia. They will be part of the global team, and will report to the global program manager, who is based in Hivos’ regional office in Nairobi.
