The Moving Minds Alliance is a multi-stakeholder partnership of 20+ organisations working to scale up the financing, policies, and leadership needed to effectively support the youngest children and families affected by crisis and displacement everywhere. The Moving Minds Alliance is hosted by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

Four years since its inception, and having just updated its strategy, operational model and governance, Moving Minds Alliance is embarking on its next phase of activity with its expanding membership. Bringing on board and building collaborations with key stakeholders across sectors will be a key goal for this next phase, as well as shaping MMA as a platform for effective sharing and learning for the growing community working to support the children and families affected by crisis.

To lead the Moving Minds Alliance, we are looking for an enthusiastic changemaker who embodies our principes of being action-oriented, ambitious but practical, committed to sharing learning, and collaborative and inclusive.

The successful candidate will ideally have worked across more than one of the sectors represented in the Moving Minds Alliance (e.g. philanthropy, UN/non-profit, private sector), have experience in multi-stakeholder engagement and partnership-building for social change, and a proven track record in strategy development and implementation, team and project management, and operational oversight.

Note that funding for this role has been secured and is in the process of being transferred to the IRC.

Our Vision: Rebuilding resilience of the youngest refugees

Forced displacement worldwide is at a record high, and children are disproportionately represented among those fleeing from emergencies and crisis-affected contexts. One in four children around the world lives in contexts affected by conflict or disaster, and more than 30 million children have been displaced by conflict.

Given the protracted nature of modern displacement, most children born in displacement will go on to spend their entire childhoods away from home. Experiences during this period, in the very first years of life, shape the architecture of the brain and lay the foundation for future development, learning and physical and mental health.

Prolonged exposure to violence and toxic stress is associated with high levels of depression, anxiety, and in some cases post-traumatic stress disorder, which can have life-long negative effects on children’s development.

The good news is that evidence indicates early childhood services, including those that support and guide parents, caregivers, and families in times of crisis, can mitigate the negative effects of trauma and stress on young children and promote resilience and well-being for a lifetime.

While the international community has made significant efforts to ensure children have access to basic healthcare and nutrition, the provision of services for other critical areas of a young child’s development is severely lacking in crisis situations across the globe, as well as in communities hosting refugees and asylum-seekers. A 2018 review of active humanitarian response plans revealed that only 10 out of 38 plans included interventions specifically targeting the youngest children. A more recent MMA analysis of financing for early childhood in crisis contexts, found that only 2% of humanitarian aid, and 3% of development aid finds its way to supporting the needs of the youngest children and families in crisis contexts.

Coordinated action by the humanitarian community, donors, and policymakers is needed to raise the life prospects of millions of young children on the move.

About the Moving Minds Alliance

The Moving Minds Alliance came together to close the gap in support for the youngest children on the move and their families. It is multi-stakeholder partnership working to scale up the financing, policies, and leadership needed to effectively support young children and families affected by crisis and displacement everywhere.

Originally established in 2017 by a group of six philanthropic foundations, today it counts nearly 25 members including foundations, NGOs, UN agencies and academia. Members combine their programmatic, funding, and research expertise to support prioritization of the youngest refugees and their caregivers.

Moving Minds Alliance develops activities in the areas:

•  Joint Advocacy: Ensuring donors, humanitarian actors & networks, and country governments prioritize and champion early childhood development (ECD) in crisis settings;
•  Sharing & Learning: Establishing a thriving network that is sharing and applying insights effectively to deliver on its common agenda for change.

Moving Minds Alliance’s activities are focused on the areas described above; MMA does not provide funding for implementation of early childhood programs on the ground. Activities are taken forward collaboratively by its members, with support from the Secretariat (interim support is currently provided by consultants).

Operational costs and activities are financed by a sub-group of philanthropic foundations that is part of the overall MMA membership, through a combination of annual member fees and additional donations and grants. A Steering Committee provides overall strategic direction, while sub-groups (most notably the Joint Advocacy Group) are responsible for operationalizing specific areas of work. MMA’s Secretariat and pooled fund is transitioning to be held by the International Rescue Committee.
