Vacancy Announcement

Closing date: 24th August 2019

We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being side-lined. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities. Our programmes are genuinely life- changing, but we can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organization.

Nepal is a pioneer of LGBTI rights in South Asia. The country’s comparatively progressive legislation allows LGBTI people to live a safer and healthier life than in any other country across the region. However, while LGBTI people in Nepal have many rights by law, they are still highly discriminated on the basis of their gender and sexuality and are marginalized in all spheres of life. The vast majority of SRHR services available for young people in Nepal are structured around the needs of heterosexuals, thereby excluding the differing needs of the LGBTI community. To contribute to an enabling environment for LGBTI people within the country to claim their SRHR in a stigma-free society, Restless Development is implementing "Colors of Rainbow Project". The project aims to strengthen LGBTI network by capacitating its CSOs/CBOs so that the network is strengthened to initiate nationwide advocacy efforts to ensure their SRHR. To achieve the above objectives, we are working with "Federation of Sexual and Gender Minorities in Nepal (FSGMN)" and its CSOs/CBOs to boost their legal standing, operational capabilities at the community level, and ability to coordinate for advocacy at the national level.
