INTRODUCTION
Save the Children International in Tanzania is a full –spectrum country
programme and as such equal priority will be given to both humanitarian
and development work. This is the only way we will be able to ensure
that some of the fundamental rights that we believe children have, such
as survival, safety and constant access to protection and education can
be guaranteed. As part of a commitment to work with children through
humanitarian interventions Save the Children will support programmes in
both sudden onset, such as the current Burundi response situation as
well as in chronic emergency situations.
The purpose of this post is to support the Tanzania Country Office
emergency response program in Kasulu and Kibondo districts. Following
the large influx of Burundian refugees in Tanzania, Save the Children in
Tanzania is currently implementing a multi donor funded Emergency
Response program in the area of Education In Emergency (EiE) and Child
Protection (CP) in Kasulu district and is considering expanding its
intervention in Kibondo district.
