Lao People's Democratic Republic (the): UK & LAOS | Women’s Rights Charity needs a volunteer accountant | 1-2 Months | Nov-Jan

Organization: Accounting for International Development
Country: Lao People's Democratic Republic (the), United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Closing date: 21 Nov 2014

This is your chance to support an organisation that supports women who have lived through the horrors of human trafficking and helps to give them a brighter future, one free from fear and discrimination. The work of our partner is doing a lot to help women who have been affected by human trafficking and provides them with the support they need to recover from the ordeal. They aim to restore the security and rights of victims, by providing safe centres for rehabilitation. In these centres, they provide medical and psychological assistance to the women, as well as education and vocational training, to eventually help them reintegrate into society. They run two social enterprises in Vientiane and Sevannakhet, which are set up as beauty salons, used for training the women and helping them to earn an income.

As one of their donors has pulled out, there have been numerous cutbacks that have affected the staff and subsequently the knowledge base of their finance staff. Therefore they are having to downscale their spending, and adjust for the change. There is a Chief Accountant in Vientiane, and the admin staff in Sevannakhet send their monthly stats to the Chief Accountant, who consolidates the accounts. This person is not highly experienced, and a recently audit raised several issues that our partner hopes you will be able to address.

They have recently had a finance volunteer from France, who went some way to building the staff's capacity. They are now doing bank reconciliations and tracking cash-flow, but as their training was very recent, your help is needed to keep it fresh and reinforced. You will be the first AfID volunteer on site, so your role will also include doing a general assessment of their internal controls, identifying any weaknesses and reviewing those highlighted by the audit, and implementing any recommendations where necessary. There will be opportunity to travel between the two offices to train staff in both locations, the Chief Accountant would also like support with creating budgets.

The work that our partner does is indispensable to the victims that they support, it is up to you to ensure that their work may continue. Whether you’re looking for a break from the office life or are hoping to begin a career in the international development sector, this role would be a perfect experience and would make a world of difference for our partner and the women they support.

There is the option of free accommodation in the residency centre, but due to the nature of the organisation this option would only be available for female volunteers. For male volunteers there is a very reasonably priced guesthouse nearby the organisation.

If you’re looking to volunteer and want to learn more about capacity building abroad, where your skills will fit in and the international development sector as a whole, join AfID and development expert John Cammack for our London workshop on the 31^st October – http://www.afid.org.uk/page/4/Workshops

This is an issue that urgently needs addressing and you can help. Please contact us on +44 (0) 208 741 7000 or email info@afid.org.uk to find out more.

Country: Poland
Closing date: 05 Nov 2014

Background:

The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is the principal institution of the OSCE responsible for the human dimension. Within its access to law and democratic lawmaking portfolio, ODIHR assists participating States in bringing their legislation in line with international human rights standards and OSCE commitments. ODIHR’s legislative online database Legislationline.org provides direct, free-of-charge access to international norms and standards relating to specific human dimension issues. Legislation collected and available on legislationline.org is available in OSCE official languages and can be accessed through English and Russian interfaces of the website. All information available from the site is intended, among others, for lawmakers, academics and law practitioners from across the OSCE region and beyond.

Legislationline.org was created in 2002 by a web-development company and is managed via a privately developed content-management system (CMS). Since 2002, the website has already been restructured twice and, and has undergone some improvement, by adjusting the current CMS to serve different needs of the website. The CMS may be altered by any web developer expert who has the skills to understand and alter the code in which the website was developed.

At the moment Legislationline.org needs to be restructured to better respond to the needs of its users. A usability survey will be sent out to a wide selection of users, the results of which will inform the restructuring process. OSCE/ODIHR aims to make the website more user-friendly, and provide easy access to all its materials and information. Legislationline.org should be fully operational also on mobile internet devices, which means that users of such devices should also be able to access all information in an easy and quick manner.

In order to initiate the process of restructuring the website and to receive expert guidance on how to manage this process, ODIHR is now inviting persons with relevant expertise to apply for this consultancy.

Tasks and Responsibilities:

Under the supervision of the ODIHR Democratisation Department, the expert should undertake the following tasks:

Formulate a ‘road map’, i.e. a detailed action plan outlining the entire process of restructuring the website.

The action plan shall include a detailed timeline, from the initiation to the conclusion of the restructuring process, with the new website up and running. The action plan should also include a financial assessment in relation to each action that needs to be taken, and should reflect the results of the survey conducted among Legislationline.org’s users.
Prepare a list of tasks for a web-developer who will be tasked to maintain/fix the website according to the suggestions made by the web-design expert in the action plan. The expert should make sure that all the tasks listed are clear and that the instructions are easy to follow.

Familiarity with the information available on Legislationline.org, and knowledge of OSCE’s institutional structure and/or that of other international organisations dealing with human rights, or similar topics, would be of added value. Knowledge of web design patterns for mobile devices would also be an asset.

Information architecture

The expert should have in-depth knowledge of information architecture. He/she should be able to organize, structure and label content in an effective and coherent way and should have a good understanding of the functioning of full-text databases and of structuring information which is available online.

Finally, he/she should have experience in designing web design strategies and knowledge of how suggested changes and innovations to the website can be implemented.

Information Management

Legislationline.org is a comprehensive database with a collection of documents categorised by many different topics and types of documents.

Closing date: 20 Nov 2014

Researcher / Advisor Gender

Directorate: International Law and Policy

Permanent Contract

£43,812 per annum

London

At the forefront of the human rights movement, Amnesty pioneers research into areas where there is little precedent in law and policy. Our Gender and Women's Human Rights team looks at the issues faced by women in these areas, and determine ways for Amnesty to make a real difference. Your contributions will be critical.

ABOUT THE ROLE

A specialist researcher joining a team of experts, you'll carry out challenging desk-based and field research as well as advocacy work with key UN bodies gathering crucial information about Gender and Women's Human Rights presenting it through comprehensive reports and contributing to advancing the debate on Gender and Women's Human Rights.
It's about driving gender integration into all areas of AI's work, making sure it underpins every campaign in every country across the world. So you'll organise major workshops on gender analysis and draw from your research to educate international researchers, campaigners and lobbyists providing them with high level advice on laws and legal systems, strategies to improve the quality and consistency of our work, and recommendations about where their help is needed most. You'll advise people right across the Amnesty International movement. In fact, as well as providing this expert advice, you'll lead the development and implementation of our research and advocacy strategies. Using your findings to make suggestions that will influence our actions on a global scale, you'll have big impact on our strategic direction.

ABOUT YOU

Through experience of researching human rights and gender violations, both at your desk and in the field, you'll have worked with other NGO's and the UN and will have knowledge and experience with relevant international institutions and processes. You'll also understand the social, cultural, ethnic, racial and gender issues relevant to the area and bring us an in-depth knowledge of human rights law and recent developments in the area. And as well as showing sound political judgement, you'll bring us the highly developed analytical skills needed to plan short- and long-term strategy at this level. Naturally, you'll be a clear and convincing communicator able to present influential arguments and write high-quality reports and policy papers. But more than that, you'll have the interpersonal skills and tact to interview witnesses and survivors of human rights violations in a sensitive manner, drawing out the information we need to help others like them.

Statut :Stagiaire

CONTEXTE

Le Bureau Santé/SIDA du pôle technique de la Direction des Relations et des Opérations Internationales s’articule autour des programmes de renforcement des systèmes sanitaires, de l’amélioration de l’accès aux soins, de la formation paramédicaleet de la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA.

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, la Croix-Rouge française (CRF) a acquis une réelle expertise en matière de lutte contre le VIH/SIDA, notamment grâce au développement des Centres de Traitement Ambulatoire (CTA) qui ont démontré la possibilité d’une prise en charge globale et en particulier thérapeutique des malades du SIDA en Afrique. Depuis l’année 1998, la CRf a ouvert 15 CTA dans 10 pays différents, et grâce à eux, 170 000 patients ont eu accès aux soins, plus de 40 000 ayant bénéficié d’un traitement antirétroviral. Mis en place en partenariat avec les ministères de la Santé de chaque pays, la plupart des CTA sont aujourd’hui reconnus comme des pôles de référence dans l’organisation de la prise en charge du VIH dans leurs pays. Les services et les soins dispensés dans ces centres, et en particulier le traitement antirétroviral, ont fait la preuve de leur efficacité et de leur viabilité.

Dans la lutte contre le VIH/SIDA, la CRf vient en appui aux Ministère de la santé à travers une convention de partenariat. La CRf appuie la gestion médicale, technique et administrative des CTA.

Les raisons du succès des CTA sont toujours basées sur l’engagement politique national, l’implication et l’appui financiers et technique des partenaires tels que la Région Ile–de-France, le SCAC (Service de Coopération et d’Actions Culturelles de l’Ambassade de France), le Fonds Mondial, la Banque Mondiale, la Croix-Rouge française, la volonté des autorités administratives de tutelle et le dévouement du personnel.

Par ailleurs, la CRf s’engage également dans l’appui à la décentralisation de la prise en charge des personnes vivant avec le VIH et met en œuvre plusieurs projets autour de la PTME (prévention de la transmission de la mère à l’enfant du SIDA), de l’éducation thérapeutique, du tutorat clinique ou encore de renforcement communautaire sur le VIH/SIDA.

En 2014, la Croix-Rouge française a principalement des projets en lien avec le VIH/SIDA au Congo, en Mauritanie, en République Centrafricaine, en République Démocratique du Congo, en Ukraine et au Laos
