Islamic Relief NGO Protection and Inclusion Coordinator Jobs in Nairobi

Established in 1984 in the UK, Islamic Relief is an international NGO seeking to promote sustainable economic and social development by working with local communities through relief and development activities.

IR started operations in Kenya in 1993 on one to one orphans sponsorship programme through a local CBO in Mandera District, Northern Kenya. It opened its fully fledged office in March in 2006 at the height of drought in the Horn of Africa.

Since then IR has been providing humanitarian and development assistance to vulnerable communities. Over these years it has implemented various development and relief activities in Mandera.

This has remarkably changed the lives of the vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. In January 2010, IRK extended its operation to Wajir County, neighboring Mandera, in January 2012 expanded to Garrissa and Dadaab, and in
October 2017 opened programme office in Kilifi County.

IR aim to help the needy regardless of race, religion or gender and implement our work within the following themes: Disaster & Humanitarian Response; Sustainable Community Empowerment; and Education, Child Protection and Development

The Protection and Inclusion (P&I) Coordinator leads on the integration of the “Leave no one behind” and “Do no harm”
agendas across all of Islamic Relief Kenya programmes, and ensures commitments towards the Core Humanitarian Standards and inclusion Charter are fulfilled.

The candidate must have the ability to forge strong partnerships with key stakeholders and have prior technical experience in the areas of Protection and Inclusion.
