Multiple International Job Vacancies At Save The Children (Due End of June 2021)
ABOUT US
Since 1983 when Save the Children began operations in Zimbabwe, the organisation has remained committed to children, by supporting the government and communities to deliver on their mandate and make the country a better place for children. By implementing relevant child rights programmes, responding to emergencies and advocacy efforts, major milestones have been reached.
These have all contributed towards ensuring that the Zimbabwean child survives, learns and is protected. Over the years Save the Children responded to several emergencies in Zimbabwe, notably the cholera emergency, drought and food insecurity, Cyclone Idai emergency and lately the COVID-19 emergency.
We believe in working together, empowering and strengthening local capacity, hence we work mostly through a partner organisation, such as local and International Non-governmental organisations, government departments and ministries, local authorities, communities and children. All our support in the communities is given freely, regardless of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
CHILD RIGHTS GOVERNANCE
Save the Children’s Child Rights Governance (CRG) work aims to fulfil children’s rights by supporting the Zimbabwean government systems and civil society to effectively monitor and implement children’s rights as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) while ensuring children’s participation across the spectrum. We endeavour to hold the government accountable for what has or has not been done for the realisation of children’s rights. The key to the realisation of these rights is more and better spending on children’s rights.
Good Governance Delivering Child Rights
In partnership with the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs (MoJLPA), the programme supports the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) to meet the country’s reporting obligations on child rights instruments, namely the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) as well as the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
Further support is offered to enable information dissemination to duty bearers on concluding observations and recommendations by the respective Expert Committees. Development of plans of action and implementation of these plans by respective duty bearers is supported. Technical support is being availed to Human Rights Commission in delivering on their mandate through the Child Rights technical working group. It is through the technical working group that monitoring of child rights can be effectively done.
