Program Brief

Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading agencies working in post-conflict and development contexts, supporting communities in over 40 fragile, failed and developing states. In this capacity, we work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted, struggling to endure and wishing to advance on a path of development.
The IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since the 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. Recently IRC has also introduced two new programs: Protection Rule of Law (PRoL) and Education. 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 will grow over time its geographic coverage within Cox’s bazar and to other parts of the country, thus expand its’ networks and partnerships around emergency preparedness and response work, reach beyond the Rohingya refugees, also targeting the vulnerable host groups in Cox’s Bazar and other parts of Bangladesh.

Purpose

The Senior Education Coordinator will provide technical leadership and operational management oversight across all Education programming in IRC Bangladesh for refugee/host community and national level programming; will conduct regular technical visits to Education teams working in all program areas to ensure that interventions are technically sound, in-line with international standard methodologies, and are appropriately meeting the needs and priorities of our clients in target communities. This position is responsible for programmatic resource development and advocacy related to IRC’s education programming and overall strategic direction of the education program. The Senior Education Coordinator will also be expected to lead engagement with key collaborators at the national level, including Ministry of Education, to support IRC’s ambitions for impact at scale.
