Remote / Work from Home
We're ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children's rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there's a disaster - like an earthquake, drought, or conflict - we are there on the ground.
Social protection is playing an increasingly important role in promoting socio-economic development, reducing poverty and vulnerability and protecting individuals, households and communities against shocks around the world. With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), governments have committed to achieving substantial coverage of the poor and vulnerable in national social protection systems by 2030.
Most recently, with COVID-19, social protection has increased further in prominence with countries rolling-out new, or adapting and expanding existing, social protection programmes to support those affected by the pandemic. COVID-19 has therefore prised open a unique policy window to take decisive action to secure the future of social protection.
The Pacific context, and that of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) more broadly, requires tailored social protection solutions. There is currently a sense among national and regional stakeholders that experiences, evidence and lessons on social protection are not sufficiently tailored to their requirements and contexts.
Save the Children wants to make the most of this unique policy window effectively to engage with governments in the Pacific, particularly in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Tonga and Fiji, to support them to develop their nascent social protection systems for the benefit of children and their families. This assignment will play an important role in supporting Save the Children to identify promising entry-points for this engagement.
