Role and responsibilities
The purpose of the Protection from Violence Officer position is to implement delegated Protection activities as defined by the Country Office’s strategic and programmatic frameworks. Currently NRC Protection in Afghanistan has two technical Protection thematics: Civilian Self-Protection (CSP), Protection from Violence (PfV) and Case Management (CM).
This position of Protection from Violence Officer – Civilian Self-Protection (CSP)/ Protection from Violence (PfV) directly implements and monitors field activities within CSP. The program’s foundation is community work and relationship building. And any position holder should have the corresponding skillset and dedication to working with communities on strengthening their self-protection strategies in response to a protection threat, whether these threats be at an individual, community, household, and/or other group level.
The CSP/PfV program works in partnership with communities and affected persons on strengthening ways they can prevent, mitigate, and reduce protection risks, ultimately building the community’s resiliency.
Such work is process-focused, meaning NRC Protection concentrates its energies on a process that takes community members and other relevant actors through a capacity building and facilitation series on identifying and strengthening civilian self-protection strategies based on the communities’ protection risks, threats, capacities, and vulnerabilities.
Regular activities will include facilitating community committee meetings, conducting capacity development sessions for community committees on protection risk reduction approaches and action plans, raising awareness on protection topics, consolidating data for context analysis, mobilizing community members for protection activities, identifying facilitated referrals, conducting accompaniments, and supporting advocacy initiatives.
The position holder will be reporting to the Protection form violence Coordinator (or Team Leader).
