NGO Jobs in Kenya - Save the Children

Gender & GBV Advisor
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. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.
Role Purpose:
Save the Children believes that gender inequality and Gender-based Violence (GBV) affects our ability to effectively protect and promote the rights of children.
We therefore seek to be gender transformative in the way we design and implement programmes and respond to crises.
Gender equality has been identified as a priority cross-cutting theme within our 2016-18 strategy and the post holder will drive this work forward.
