Description du poste:

En travaillant avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos sympathisants et nos partenaires, nous luttons pour un monde juste, s'attaquant aux causes profondes des défis auxquels sont confrontées les filles et tous les enfants vulnérables.Nous soutenons les droits de l'enfant depuis la naissance jusqu'à l'âge adulte. Et nous permettons aux enfants de se préparer et de réagir aux crises et à l'adversité. Nous pilotons les changements de pratiques et de politiques aux niveaux local, national et mondial en utilisant notre portée, notre expérience et nos connaissances.Nous construisons de puissants partenariats pour les enfants depuis plus de 80 ans et sommes maintenant actifs dans plus de 70 pays.

Accountabilities

[This section is critical for clarifying expectations of the role, providing the framework for its relationship with colleagues and providing areas of accountability against which performance can be managed.

This should include a series of brief statements that define the end results required. E.g. drive, contribute, identify, manage, responsible for, advise/coach, build, develop, provide, conduct, oversee, establish, participate etc.

Statements should ideally be worded so that they will lead to thoughts of measurement. For example, it is better to state something like "achieve maintenance standards" than "undertake maintenance". The former leads to a measure against the maintenance standards.]
