    Description

    World Vision is an international Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation working in almost 100 countries world-wide to create lasting change in the lives of children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

    Position purpose

    World Vision seeks a Resilience & Livelihoods Technical Advisor (RLTA), for the proposed USAID-funded Somalia Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA).

    The goal of the Activity is to improve and maintain the food security of extremely poor, socially marginalized populations in IDP settlements and surrounding host communities despite shocks and stresses.

    This activity is a 5-year program worth approximately $72 million.

    This program implementation knowledge and experience, combined with World Vision Somalia's strong relationships across Somalia, make it a unique employer with which to work in Somalia.

    S/he will work with the Graduation Approach (GA) Lead to ensure cohesion across all components of the graduation approach and that interventions are sequenced, layered and integrated appropriately at all levels of implementation within the RFSA activity.


    The RLTA will report directly to the COP and will work directly with the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Lead and Strategic Learning Advisor (SLA) to ensure that M&E and learning feedback loops are properly fed into and utilized by the technical field staff.
