The Opportunity

The Program Coordinator – for the Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) and Education in Emergencies (EiE) Professional Development Programme (PDP) will work to coordinate and support and the initiation, organisation, delivery, financial administration, and monitoring of the Middle East & Eastern Europe and North Africa (MEEENA) CPiE and EiE PDPs in the region.

Building on the successful capacity-building model developed over recent years by Save the Children CPiE and EiE Capacity Building teams, the MEEENA CPiE and EiE PDPs aim to develop a regionally-based sustainably model for raising national & regional CPiE and EiE response capacity. Using the results of regional CPiE and EiE Capacity Gap Analyse, a comprehensive CPiE and EiE capacity-building initiative will be designed to meet the priority needs of organisations and individuals responding on the ground. The MEEENA CPiE and EiE PDPs constitute a strategic investment in building the capacity necessary to deliver on Save the Children’s Protecting Children in Conflict Centenary Commitment in the Middle East Region.

Although similar in their aim and structure and their inter-agency mandate, the EiE PDP differs in that it is now a 9-month programme accredited by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) as a Certificate in Advanced Studies in Education (CAS in EiE), which is an accredited by the University of Geneva and run by Save the Children. However, as this is not accessible to all, other shorter EiE capacity building courses are also offered and will be made available in the region although similar in their aim and structure and their inter-agency mandate, the EiE PDP differs in that it is now a 9-month programme accredited by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) as a Certificate in Advanced Studies in Education (CAS in EiE), which is an accredited by University of Geneva and run by Save the Children.
