New Job Vacancy at JSI, Youth Engagement Officer – HCDExchange Project

Posted on December 29, 2021 By Andrew Mwakalebela
[quads id=1]
Youth Engagement Officer – HCDExchange Project
Location: Work Remotely, East Africa, South Asia or Nairobi, Kenya
Position Category: Local hire, paid in country
Description
The HCDExchange is a community of implementers, funders, designers, evaluators and youth committed to advancing learning and practice related to the integration of human-centred design (HCD) and adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) in low-resource settings, with a particular focus on countries in Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia. The HCDExchange aims, through our learning community, to accelerate the field of HCD+ASRH and thereby elevate young people’s agency and transform sexual and reproductive health outcomes for youth and adolescents.

In 2018, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) funded a convening in Tanzania bringing together people and organizations working at the intersection of HCD in ASRH. This gathering showcased best practices, generated interest, and resulted in the launch of working groups to advance this field. More importantly, those involved started to see themselves as a community with a shared agenda.
The first phase of this work built a more cohesive, and globally accessible and representative body of practitioners and policy makers, expanded HCD+ASRH skills and capacity of practitioners and institutions in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia; and begun to generate a well-curated and researched body of evidence and learning that is accessible to the entire global health community in one location, and tailored to different audiences.

The HCDExchange will transition from building a broad-based learning community to accelerating access to knowledge and evidence on HCD+ASRH for a focused set of actors, particularly among professional and institutional stakeholders and specific geographies. It will continue strengthening youth engagement through capacity development of the Youth Leadership Hub using a “learning by doing” model to increase the Youth Associates’ knowledge and skills around curating and sharing learning and raising awareness about the practice of HCD+ASRH. The Youth Associates will also continue engaging youth members, youth networks and youth-led organizations who are part of the CoP, with the goal of bringing the youth perspective to the center of community building, learning and application.
