Responsibilities & Context:

The GBV Officer, in collaboration with the GBV Team Leader, is also responsible for representing DRC in any relevant field based on thematic meetings with stakeholders and otherwise as needed. In addition, s/he will be responsible for producing work that is compliant with donors and internal DRC reporting and accountability policy and procedures.
∎ Depending on the capacities and workload demonstrated, an Officer may be specialized in Response or Specific Prevention; or have specific tasks in both. Officers demonstrating capacity for both specializations will be offered the opportunity to switch when implementation planning allows, usually at the close of a project cycle.
