IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since 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. Through 2018, the IRC’s response strategy will primarily target Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, 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 is growing its programming to cover education and livelihoods/DRR, as well as its geographic footprint in the host community and to other parts of the country.
Purpose
-
The Senior Women’s Protection & Empowerment (WPE) Manager will lead the design, implementation, and oversight of WPE programming aimed at addressing violence against women and girls (VAWG) through full cycle of GBV response, risk mitigation, and prevention initiatives. This includes managing interventions in Women and Girls’ Safe Spaces (WGSS), Multipurpose Community Centers (MPCC), community-based activities, and government system strengthening, as well as providing technical capacity-building support to implementing partners. The role is central to ensuring the delivery of quality case management, psychosocial support (PSS), and survivor-centered services, while also advancing the implementation of IRC’s tested and evidence-based prevention approaches such as SASA! Together, EMAP Plus, Girl Shine, EA$E, and Safe at Home. Through tailored capacity development and supportive mentoring, the Senior WPE Manager will enhance the technical skills of IRC staff and partners, with a focus on case management, Women Rise (PSS curriculum) and community-led GBV prevention strategies. In addition, Senior WPE Manager will oversee project implementation to ensure alignment with project proposals, donor requirements, and IRC’s global WPE standards. This includes managing project budgets, ensuring timely and high-quality reporting, and fostering collaborative partnerships. The role will report to the WPE Coordinator and work closely with the Program Coordinator and other relevant teams to ensure seamless program delivery.
