As part of a global movement for change, we are working together to end world poverty and injustice.

The Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) is an interagency partnership (of Oxfam GB, British Red Cross, Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children, and Action Against Hunger / ACF International) that promotes the appropriate use of cash transfers in emergencies through capacity building, evidence based research and advocating for and engaging in developing policy around cash based programming. In Asia, the CaLP regional support approach is hosted by one of its Steering Committee member agencies (Oxfam GB) and includes components of advocacy, capacity building and evidence-based research as well as support to coordination around cash transfer programming (CTP).

The CBO will also deliver a number of trainings and Training of Trainers (ToT) in Asia and potentially other locations. In addition, they will support (and/ or divide tasks with) the Regional Focal Point with regard to Government and Donor training.

We are looking for someone with substantial experience and knowledge of cash transfer programming (ideally in a humanitarian role and in an Asia context), who also has significant experience of working in a trainer or capacity builder role (with adult learners). You should have developed curriculum materials and facilitated training and learning events.
