CONTEXT

CowaterSogema International is preparing a tender for the DFID-funded Violence against Women and Girls Prevention and Response Programme.

The objective of the programme is to reduce the prevalence of violence against women and girls and improve the justice system for women and girls living with violence. It has three outcomes:

· Formal and informal justice services are accessible, responsive and accountable to women and children-s needs;

· People in target areas are less tolerant of violence and are more supportive of survivors;

· Individuals and local institutions use non-violent means to settle disputes and avoid harmful practices.

We are currently recruiting for the Team Leader position, to be based full-time in Malawi for 72 months.

The Team Leader will be responsible for managing a team of local and international experts selected to ensure the successful implementation of project activities across key project outputs. The Team Leader must have the capacity, influence and personal integrity to shape national policy implementation and the ability to hold their team and implementing partners accountable for good and timely performance, management of fiduciary risk, attention to VFM and continual improvement.
