Job Summary: The Program Officer, Education & Child
Protection will provide ongoing, implementation, monitoring & evaluation
and reporting in regard to the execution of the Emergency Response activities,
including child protection and education components. You will also undertake
activities to ensure children (and their care givers) in the refugee settlement
regain access to safe living environments, access education and skills
development opportunities and are protected from harmful abuse. This is a
fantastic opportunity for someone who is consistently dissatisfied with the

most marginalized and vulnerable children.
