JOB DECRIPTION

About Investing in Children & Strengthening their Societies (ICS)

Our goal is for every child to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment so that they can reach their full potential. A goal we aim to achieve by working with parents and caregivers, by strengthening families and communities, and by strengthening and influencing governments, civil society and private sector towards better policies and practices to fulfil children’s rights. Our journey to make this a reality started in 1995 in East Africa. Building on our previous successes and lessons, ICS has become a strong African NGO that strengthens families and protects children in low-income settings in measurable and sustainable ways.

Over the years ICS has attained achievement towards preventing Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) through its integrated interventions not limited to Skilful Parenting, Life Skills, and digital parenting to mention the few. However, despite the compelling outcome of the evidence-based parenting interventions, ICS is still determined to scale up to reach high number of beneficiaries to reducing VAWC and improve child wellbeing. To achieve this highest objective, ICS in collaboration with other partners aims to support the Government of Tanzania and other stakeholders to adapt and deliver evidence-based parenting programs at scale to reduce VAC and improve child wellbeing by bridging the gap from system thinking, capacity enhancement, infrastructure support and policy making processes.
