They will be expected to undertake various tasks and duties based on operational needs in the following areas:
Needs Identification, Strategy and Advocacy
Programme planning and implementation
Partnership and coordination
Innovation, knowledge management and capacity building
The Expert will be a member of the Protection team and may have direct supervisory responsibility for child protection staff.
