Save the Children
Advisor, Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health in Humanitarian Settings (Personal Services)
Summary
The Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) on Reproductive Health in Crises is a broad-based, highly collaborative coalition of 18 steering committee member agencies – representing the United Nations, government, non-governmental, research, and donor organizations. Formed in 1995, and currently a network of over 1,800 individual members from 450 agencies, IAWG remains committed to advancing the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of people affected by conflict and natural disaster.
The IAWG operates through a number of technical and thematic sub-working groups (SWGs) that have their own terms of reference. One such group is the adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) working group, which aims to institutionalize quality adolescent SRH interventions/programs in humanitarian settings, as well as encourage youth participation in IAWG's work. ASRH was one of the gaps identified by the IAWG global evaluation of SRH in humanitarian settings from 2012-2014 and is one of the areas strengthened in the revised Interagency Field Manual (IAFM) for sexual and reproductive health in humanitarian settings.
In order to accomplish its ASRH priorities, Save the Children is hiring a roving ASRH specialist based in Washington DC to advance and institutionalize ASRH programming in humanitarian settings through training, technical assistance and M&E, in collaboration with IAWG implementing partners and adolescents themselves.
