The Women’s Activities and Social Services Association (WASSA) was established in 2002 as Afghanistan's first women’s independent organization. WASSA aims to promote the women’s equal participation in socio-economic sectors and support the current humanitarian crisis by providing emergency humanitarian and livelihood assistance to vulnerable households, especially women.
To support WASSA’s vision and mission, some potential candidates are needed to be recruited for a project funded by UN Women to strengthen women’s livelihoods through increased access to skills and resources. The project will be implemented in three districts of Herat Province for a period of 15 months.
The Women and Girls Empowerment Project is funded by UNICEF and implemented in The Western Region (Herat, Farah and Badqhis provinces). The primary purpose of the program in Afghanistan is to reduce the violence and harmful practices against women and girls.
It aims at targeting the most at-risk groups, to accelerate efforts toward the elimination of violence and harmful practices. the WGE in Afghanistan will bring women and girls, including those with intersecting forms of discrimination and marginalization, to the center of the interventions, recognizing that the empowerment of women and girls, and their unique experiences and solutions they bring based on their intersectional identities, is the key to design and implement a program that responds to the needs and priorities of women and girls of Afghanistan in all their diversity.
The project needs to recruit a Facilitator and Team Leader who is a professional in charge of guiding, monitoring, and leading an entire group. He is responsible for motivating their teammates as well as inspiring positive communication within them so that they can work together toward achieving goals. he provides overall technical, and organizational support and plays a facilitation role in the communities he is assigned, including technology and best practices, awareness creation and linkages, and behavioral change through education, information, and communication. he supports people’s empowerment, collective action, and solidarity.
