- Level 3 – The responsibilities of the post may require the post holder to have regular contact with or access to children or young people.
Background
- Save the Children (SC) has been working in Nigeria since 2001. Today, SC is working in 20 states focusing on child survival, education and protecting children in both development and humanitarian contexts.
- The conflict in Northeast Nigeria has left 8.5 million in need of humanitarian assistance (HRP 2017), in particular the more than 1.8 million IDPs. Over half of the displaced are children (55%), half of whom are under five years old. Borno state has been the most affected and is host to nearly 1.4 M IDPs (IOM). This is partly due to insecurity and the limited presence of civilian authority in the LGAs. The state is struggling to provide education, health and protection services.
- The potential impact of COVID-19 on children will be devastating and will cut across all sectors. Given existing conditions combined with the effects of COVID-19, it will be difficult to meet our breakthroughs, in addition to challenges we expect related to travel, trade disruptions, and project pauses.

Profile of Consultant:
- The consultant must have experience and significant knowledge of humanitarian response mechanisms, specifically regarding the Northeast humanitarian response, and have previous experience in conducting external Assessments for conflict responses.
In addition, the following requirements are highly essential desirable:
- Significant experience (5-8 years) in coordination, implementation, monitoring and assessment of emergency response programs
- Relevant expertise in at least 3 relevant sectors (Food Security & Livelihoods, Education, Nutrition, WASH, GBV, Health and Protection).
