🏢 About Danish Refugee Council

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a leading humanitarian organization dedicated to protecting and supporting refugees and displaced people worldwide. Working at DRC means contributing to life-saving protection monitoring and capacity-building initiatives in challenging contexts, with a strong focus on Latin America and the Caribbean through the ProLAC program.

About This Role

This role involves designing a methodological framework for a Training of Trainers (ToT) process to implement the Protection Monitoring component of the ProLAC initiative. You will create training packages that empower local partners to conduct effective protection monitoring, directly enhancing the protection of displaced populations in the region.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing protection monitoring tools and existing training materials, then drafting modules for the ToT framework. You could hold virtual meetings with DRC's regional team to align on context-specific needs, followed by piloting a training session with local partners and collecting feedback to refine the methodology.
