Program Advisor
Job Description
Title: Program Advisor
Company Name: The Freedom Fund
Vacancy: Not specific
Job Location: Dhaka
Employment Status: Full-time
Experience Requirements:
∎ 5 to 7 year(s)
Job Context:
∎ REPORTING TO: BANGLADESH COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE
∎ START DATE: MAY 2023
∎ FULL TIME: 40 HOURS PER WEEK
∎ About the position: In 2019, the Freedom Fund and several civil society organisations took part in a scoping study into commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) in Dhaka. The study identified a high concentration of CSEC in brothels, hotels, and private residences, with children subjected to high levels of violence and coercion.
∎ Brothels are poorly regulated with over half of those selling or being sold believed to be minors. Daughters of sex workers are also particularly vulnerable to CSEC due to their proximity to the sex trade. At present it is estimated that more than 20,000 children live in the registered red-light areas of Bangladesh.1
∎ Preliminary findings showed that key drivers of CSEC in Bangladesh are: criminal impunity, poverty, gender-based violence, child marriage, bonded labour, cultural norms, and exclusion from education.
∎ The Freedom Fund began a two-year inception project in 2021 to provide direct support to those most vulnerable to CSEC while laying the foundation for a larger-scale program in the future. We recognise that others have come before us and some are currently working on this issue, and we will build on this, working in under-served areas and bringing additional resources and technical support.
∎ Our initial program aims to establish the structures and networks required to support a locally driven solution to ending CSEC in Dhaka. This will be achieved through three outcomes:
∎ • An evidence base is generated to inform the design of an effective and scalable program model.
∎ • A protective network is formed (including families, CSOs and government) to safeguard children from situations of CSEC.
∎ • The Freedom Fund`s presence is established and positioned to scale programs.
∎ We will work with locally based CSOs with a range of skills and experience to address CSEC and support this with technical capacity-building to ensure sustainability of partners and the impact of their interventions. Our work will also be informed by a prevalence study to provide accurate data on the scale of CSEC within our program areas with the potential to measure a reduction over time.
∎ The Freedom Fund is registering an INGO branch office in Bangladesh to both grow our presence and demonstrate our commitment to working on this issue and potentially others in the longer term.
∎ The Program Advisor will have a wide range of responsibilities including liaising with government, CSOs and at-risk communities, identifying prospective partners, managing grants to local partners, conducting site visits, supporting meetings among grant recipients, monitoring results, convening meetings and events for partners, government officials, and other stakeholders.
