Regarding support to Missions, the JRS Human Rights Advisor will provide technical assistance to Missions that will be provided remotely from Washington or via short-term temporary duty (TDY) travel. The Advisor will provide support directly via consultation (e.g. responding to Mission requests for assistance with assessments, designs, identification of best practices, training, etc.) or indirectly to support Missions in receiving additional funding or support for urgent human rights needs. In addition, the JRS Human Rights Advisor will serve as a technical advisor in the development and interpretation of human rights-related policies and guidance. The Human Rights Advisor will also be expected to prepare briefings and represent JRS in intra- and interagency fora on human rights issues. Under the direction of the JRS team lead, supervised by the JRS Deputy (or designee), 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.
