  • Track and report on community engagement activities, challenges, and success stories across integrated programming
  • Support community-led advocacy initiatives based on locally identified priorities and concerns and facilitate community feedback sessions to program management
  • Work closely with the SRHR Technical Advisor and consortium partners to ensure community-level data informs program improvement.
  • Contribute to the development of success stories, case studies, and learning briefs.

Required Qualifications
