Program Brief

• Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading agencies working in post-conflict and development contexts, supporting communities in over 40 fragile, failed and developing states. In this capacity, we work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted, struggling to endure and wishing to advance on a path of development.

• The IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since the IRC obtained registration in March 2018, it has moved quickly to expand its integrated emergency health and protection response through both direct and partner-based programming focused on primary healthcare, women’s protection and empowerment, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and child protection. Recently IRC has also introduced two new programs: Protection Rule of Law (PROL) and Education. IRC will continue working in both the camps and host community, while meeting the significant needs in both refugee and host populations, as already existing vulnerabilities are compounded with cyclical monsoon and cyclone seasons that impose additional threats to the lives and protection of those refugees as well as vulnerable host populations. IRC will grow over time its geographic coverage within Cox’s Bazar and to other parts of the country, thus expand its networks and partnerships around emergency preparedness and response work, reach beyond the Rohingya refugees, also targeting the vulnerable host groups in Cox’s Bazar and other parts of Bangladesh.

Purpose

• The Child Protection Manager will oversee IRC’s child protection prevention and response program, including overseeing the quality, safety, and consistency of Safe Healing and Learning Space (SHLS) activities and ensuring technical support and supervision for prevention and response program staff. The Child Protection Manager will work closely with the partners to implement child protection programs (prevention and response), system strengthening, identify their capacity needs, and provide training, shadowing, mentoring, and regular coaching. The Child Protection Manager will ensure different project activity monitoring, accomplish activity on time, and work closely with the Sr. Child Protection Manager.
