The Opportunity

The Technical Specialist CP is responsible for providing high-level technical guidance and support to the Program Manager – CP and wider field teams in the implementation of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response programming within the humanitarian response. This includes conducting needs assessments, contributing to program design and adaptation, coordinating field-level activities, providing on-the-ground support, and ensuring consistent monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are in place.

The incumbent will ensure that all interventions follow GBV guiding principles — ensuring safety, confidentiality, respect, and non-discrimination — and integrate a survivor-centered approach. The role also includes technical oversight for field staff, strengthening service delivery, supporting referral pathways, documenting program learning and best practices, and advocating for improvements in GBV response systems in collaboration with key partners and stakeholders.
