Title: Integrated NORAD Framework Programme Officer
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.

The Programme Officer will assist the Deputy Programme Manager in ensuring the effective implementation of the NORAD Framework Programme activities as required and/or designated by the Programme Manager in Puntland. This will be achieved through implementation and monitoring of Education, Disaster Risk Reduction and Child Protection activities at school and community levels and child right governance. The Programme Officer shall also support partners in the implementation of programme activities within the designated area(s).
