Vacancy: Training Officer (80 per cent)
The Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) of the
Norwegian Refugee Council is looking for an experienced Training Officer to

and providing training on the protection of Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs) to field-based actors. Target groups of IDMC's activities include
national and local authorities, international agencies (UN and NGOs), local
NGOs and leaders of displaced communities, and national human rights
institutions. For more information on the Project and its training activities,

Responsibilities
Among the Training Officer's main task will be the planning of training
projects for relevant actors in countries affected by internal displacement.
This includes establishing contacts with field-based partners, identifying
their training needs, and designing country-specific training programmes. The
Training Officer is also responsible for the delivery of training, based on
the training modules developed by the IDMC, and the facilitation of workshops
in the field. Following the completion of training workshops, the Training
Officer is responsible for drafting the final reports of workshops, their
dissemination, and the monitoring of the workshops' outcomes and impact. The
Training Officer will also contribute to the development of IDMC's training
activities through the design of relevant training materials and the promotion
of training activities.
