The Justice, Rights and Security (JRS) team within USAID’s Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) Center provides technical leadership and support on human rights to USAID field Missions and Washington Operating Units, other USG entities, and the broader DRG community. The JRS team bolsters the evidence base for successful human rights and development activities, facilitates training to build the capacity of Agency staff, and provides technical support to USAID Missions globally for designing and implementing programs and activities. A central role of the C-TIP portfolio on the JRS team is to provide USAID Missions, in particular DRG technical offices and field officers, with strategic and technical advice on C-TIP assistance. This includes identifying opportunities to integrate C-TIP approaches into other sector programming to address the root causes of trafficking and leverage our comparative advantage as a development agency and increase sustainability of C-TIP efforts. Trafficking in persons is a gross violation of multiple human rights, including the right to life, liberty, and security; and the right to be free from torture and/or cruel, inhumane, degrading treatment or punishment. Missions are also increasingly interested in how they can integrate C-TIP approaches and strategies into other technical areas such as health, education, or economic growth to advance cultures of democracy and respect for the rule of law. The primary focus of the C-TIP Advisor will be to provide technical support to USAID Missions on C-TIP approaches to strengthen prevention, protection, and prosecution strategies through partnerships. This technical assistance to Missions will be provided remotely from Washington or via short-term temporary duty (TDY) travel. The Advisor will provide that support directly via consultation (e.g. responding to Mission requests for assistance with assessments, designs, identification of best practices, training, etc.) or indirectly through the development and maintenance of field support resources such as the supplemental funds that Missions can access or pre-competed program mechanisms that help Missions respond to urgent needs. Under the direction of the JRS deputy team lead, and in partnership with other JRS team members, the Advisor will work closely with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders, including other DRG colleagues and divisions, USAID staff in other bureaus and operating units, interagency colleagues, and implementing partners.
