Now Hiring! Prevention Focal Point

Plan USA, on behalf of the Alliance, is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic professional with a focus on primary preventative approaches to child protection. 

The Alliance launched its Prevention Initiative in 2020 and subsequently formed an advisory group to guide this work. Prevention also features as a strategic priority in the Alliance’s 2021-2025 Strategy. As part of the Prevention Initiative, Plan, on behalf of the Alliance and with funding from USAID’s BHA, developed the Prevention Framework, launched on February 2nd, 2022. The Prevention Framework, informed by an extensive desk review and multiple rounds of consultations with CPHA practitioners, details eight principles for effective primary prevention programming and outlines key actions at each step of the program cycle to implement primary prevention approaches that prevent harm and foster child well-being across the levels of the socio-ecological model and through a comprehensive multi-sectoral approach. 

To continue advancing this strategic priority, it is essential to test and gather evidence on the effectiveness of the Prevention Framework in humanitarian responses and to make revisions as needed. With funding from BHA, Plan is leading a project to support field testing, dissemination, and capacity strengthening on the Prevention Framework. 

As this is a long-term consultant position, deliverables are contingent on the Work Plan developed by the Prevention Focal Point and BHA Project Manager and endorsed by the Alliance Secretariat. The consultant should be prepared to be flexible and adapt to the needs of the work throughout the consultancy. Deliverables will be negotiated and agreed upon by all parties prior to invoicing periods. Among other deliverables, the consultant will be primarily responsible for the delivery of trainings on the Prevention Framework, holding virtual clinics, and supporting on advocacy efforts.
