Administration management jobs
Anticipated timeframe: 25 September 2025 to 30 November 2025
Location: Kaduna, Nigeria or Bangladesh
Person days: Up to 15 person days
Background to project work
1. Inclusive Family Planning Project (IFPLAN)
Sightsavers is implementing several disability inclusive projects in Nigeria, Kenya and Bangladesh under the global consortium led Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme. The DID programme is guided by the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and aims to develop evidence of what works to deliver results for people with disabilities.
The Inclusive family planning project (IFPLAN) implemented in Kaduna state is part of the Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme, under the Inclusive Futures umbrella, funded by FCDO and will be led by Sightsavers in a consortium with BBC Media Action.
The project implemented from January 2022 to December 2025 has a budget of approximately £2.9 million and aims to achieve three key outcomes:
1. People with disabilities having increased knowledge of intention to use, and perceived support from others to access, available family planning services.
2. Service providers delivering inclusive, accessible healthcare services and information to people with disabilities.
3. OPDs meaningfully engaging in policy and decision-making processes and advocating for disability inclusion in the health sector through different structures.
IFPLAN seeks to strengthen its ability to systematically capture, analyse, and use evidence of outcomes generated through its inclusive and accessible SRHR intervention in Kaduna. Outcome Harvesting (OH) will offer a participatory and unique approach to identifying, verifying, and interpreting outcomes particularly reflective of the activities implemented through IFPLAN’s work which as earlier noted involved various approaches of interventions in the community and through the mainstream and digital media.
2. Shikhbo Shobai Inclusive Education Program
The Disability Inclusive Development (DID)-Education is a consortium program led by Sightsavers in partnership with ADD International, and Sense International aims to strengthening systems for the enrolment, retention and support of children with disabilities at primary level of mainstream education in Bangladesh. The program in Bangladesh is ending in December 2025. The primary goal of the Task Order 45 (TO45) is to ensure children of 5-10 years old have access to some form of education and support and to reach children with severe and multiple disabilities who are now excluded from the education provision. The program mapped out the target groups and key stakeholders to achieve strategic outcomes. They are children with severe and multiple disabilities, parents/caregivers, organization of peoples with disability (OPD), school administration, and the community people. The program is implemented in 45 (forty-five) government primary schools (GPS) in three Upazila (Narshingdi Sadar, Tarash, Sirajganj Sadar) under two districts (Narshingdi and Sirajganj).

Essential:
