  • Providing regular updates and briefings to the team and partners on progress and findings.
  • Supporting the development of referral pathways to improve access to protection services for the vulnerable population
  • Compiling data and information for donor reporting and other project documents, ensuring timely submission.
  • Develop work plans and support the Protection Manager in preparing spending plans, tracking activities against indicators and action points, and using information from MEAL and partner reports.

  • Inform the supervisor/management of any critical issues as they arise.
