About CRS
Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion or nationality. CRS’ relief and development work is accomplished through programs of emergency response, HIV, health, agriculture, education, microfinance and peacebuilding.
Over the last 65 years, CRS Ethiopia has established a prominent position among development and humanitarian stakeholders with a consistent and high-quality reputation for strong organizational, operational, and multi-sectoral technical expertise. CRS Ethiopia maintains a broad geographic reach, improving woreda, kebele and community level accountability through its network of local partners. CRS is a leader in emergency programming through our flagship Joint Emergency Operation (JEOP). Moving beyond emergency response, CRS’ disaster mitigation and recovery projects in drought‑ and flood‑prone areas have rebuilt individual and community assets through non-food interventions in the form of agriculture, livestock, health, nutrition, and water and sanitation assistance. Nationally, CRS has a reputation as a leader in peacebuilding, particularly as a facilitator of inter-community social cohesion strengthening.
The Gender, Youth, and Social Dynamics Lead will be responsible for integrating gender, youth, and social inclusion perspectives into all aspects of program implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. This role involves leading efforts to ensure that gender and youth considerations are comprehensively and effectively integrated across the overall Food Security and Resilience Activity also known as RFSA. The successful candidate will work closely with program teams, partners, and stakeholders to promote equitable and inclusive practices.
