​

Planning and Implementation of Livelihoods Interventions

• Lead field-level planning, rollout and supervision of CSA trainings for targeted GBV survivors and vulnerable women, in collaboration with technical partners and district agricultural structures.
• Coordinate identification, training and follow-up of Trainers-of-Trainers (ToTs) for energy-efficient stoves and oversee community-based production and distribution of stoves to targeted households.
• Support establishment and strengthening of VSLAs (formation, group governance, savings and loan procedures, record-keeping) ensuring meaningful participation of GBV survivors, women with disabilities and female-headed households.
• Provide hands-on coaching to groups and ToTs on basic business development, market linkages and financial literacy, in collaboration with the project’s technical partners.
• Ensure all livelihood interventions integrate principles of climate resilience, “do no harm” and conflict sensitivity between host and refugee communities.

Community Mobilization and Social Cohesion

• Work with Community Development Officers, religious and community leaders, and refugee leadership structures to mobilize participants for livelihoods and community-dialogue activities.
• Support organization of inclusive community dialogues (men, women, mixed groups) that link GBV norm-change work (e.g. SASA! approach) with economic empowerment and resilience messaging.
• Strengthen collaboration with local CSOs, women-led groups and disability-focused organizations to ensure livelihood activities are accessible and responsive to the needs of women with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.
• Promote balanced participation of host and refugee communities (50%/50%) in all livelihood and community engagement activities and monitor any tensions or protection risks.

Capacity Building and Technical Backstopping

• Conduct regular coaching visits to VSLAs, CSA demonstration plots and stove production groups to provide technical backstopping and troubleshoot challenges.
• Organise and facilitate refresher trainings for group leaders (VSLAs, stove ToTs, CSA champions) on leadership, record keeping, safeguarding and inclusion.
• Work closely with district line departments (agriculture, community development, environment) to align project livelihood activities with government plans and standards.

Monitoring, Reporting and Learning

• In partnership with the M&E team, support development and use of simple field monitoring tools (attendance, production and savings registers, yield tracking, income changes, etc.).
• Collect, verify and submit timely data on key livelihoods indicators (CSA adoption, stove usage, VSLA performance, income/food security outcomes) for monthly and quarterly reporting.
• Document lessons learned, case stories and promising practices on how livelihoods and community engagement contribute to GBV prevention and survivor resilience.
• Participate actively in project review, coordination and learning meetings at district and central level.

Safeguarding, Accountability and Compliance

• Ensure that all livelihoods and community activities are designed and implemented in line with UCMB, DAHW/BMZ and government policies on GBV, child protection, disability inclusion and safeguarding.
• Promote safe and confidential feedback and complaint mechanisms within livelihood groups and communities, and promptly refer any GBV or protection cases according to established referral pathways.
• Uphold UCMB values and code of conduct at all times and ensure proper use and accountability for project assets (bicycles, training materials, tools, etc.).
