Job Info

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection, and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

ROLE PURPOSE:

Somalia continues to face a multitude of challenges including climate and human induced shocks such as drought, flash and riverine floods and armed conflicts.

In 2022-23, Save the Children launched the largest NGO humanitarian response across the country valued at over USD 200 million and consistently reaching 2.5 million people with a sustained multisectoral and integrated assistance. Save the Children remains a key humanitarian actor in Somalia delivering multi-sectoral and integrated assistance to affected and vulnerable communities and children.
