Dimension of Role:  

Save the Children has been working in Somalia for more than 70 years. The Country Office has over 450 staff across 10 field offices. In 2024 we reached more than 3.2 million people through our humanitarian and longer-term development work in Health, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Education, Child Poverty Reduction, Child Protection and Child Rights Governance. The Country Office has a large and diverse funding portfolio - managing over 80 active awards. In 2024 our portfolio was $109.2M from a range of governmental/institutional donors, including GPE, FCDO, MFA, DANIDA, Danish Embassy, SIDA, SDC, NORAD, EU, ECHO, GAC, GFFO AFDB & WB. However, MHPSS portfolio in Somalia is currently integrated across various sectors, including CP, Education, and FSL. However, this integration is ad-hoc and relies on project-specific resources rather than a cohesive country-level framework. There is no standardized approach, resulting in variable technical quality and weak systems for measuring child-level MHPSS outcomes. This position aims to establish a strong, coordinated, and quality-assured MHPSS system across the country office.
