In partnership with the Save the Children International (SCI), we are in a consortium of four (4) organizations – Save the Children, Future4All, and Youth for Development and Productivity (YODEP) to implement Abwenzi A Ana project in Ntcheu.
Abwenzi A Ana is a program designed to ensure Children in Ntcheu, particularly girls affected by inequality and discrimination are protected from sexual violence and exploitation by 2032. Such a goal begs for an integrated implementation approach, and Abwenzi A Ana adopted a socio-ecological model to confront the root causes of abuse. Child, family, community, institutions and policy will be targeted if meaningful transformational change among children is to happen.
Job Abstract
Child protection is an integral part of the Abwenzi A Ana project. The implementation of this piece goes beyond the protection of children, but it ensures that they are empowered with skills and abilities to make informed decisions and choices to have improved social emotional wellbeing. Using an ecological model, the role touches on various dimension of their growth development milestones such enhanced life skills, adolescent economic empowerment, increased knowledge and utilization of Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health (ASRH) and nutritional services, protection and psychosocial support. The role involves working with the child protection actors, volunteers and the community at large.
