East and Southern Africa (ESA) Regional Coordinator

Better Care Network

BCN is seeking a Regional Coordinator for our Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Initiative on Children without Appropriate Family Care. The objective of this position is to support practitioners in target countries and, where possible, more broadly in the region to document, share and access to learning about children’s care and care reforms, and how learning can become practice. There is a focus on working with stakeholders to develop more effective ways of capturing and sharing practitioner experiences and learning, as well as accessing other evidence and learning from regional and global sources. The Regional Coordinator will devise innovative learning and sharing strategies which will result in a measurable strengthening of capacity of practitioners in relation to this objective.

The Regional Coordinator is an individual who can consult and collaborate with a broad range of local, national and regional stakeholders and groups to develop sustainable and innovative learning and sharing strategies which build child care practitioners’ capacities. They will be comfortable leading the strategic development and implementation process. This will include using innovative approaches and media such as digital media/platforms, as well as face to face in-country activities.
