Recrutement de 01 Social Work Expert PEGASE project
Planète Enfants & Développement (PE&D)
PEGASE (Protection des Enfants en Grande Précarité en Asie du Sud Est – Protection of Children in Great
Need in South East Asia) - is a project that takes place in 4 countries in Southeast Asia - in Laos,
Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines – in order to reduce violence, trafficking and exploitation of
children.
It will act to prevent violence and the risk of exploitation by accompanying very poor families to a more
decent life and supports existing structures to take care of children who are victims or at risk, and who are
often isolated.
It is led by a consortium of 2 french ngos, which rely on 5 local osc and a dozen public agencies. it aims to
strengthen the capacities of these local actors and enrich their methodologies by conducting workshops
and training and by promoting inter-country exchanges of practices.
Finally, it aims to inform, train, and mobilize surrounding communities, protection networks, authorities,
and the general public to identify and report cases of child victims or children at risk and ultimately create
a more favorable child protection environment.
The project coordination team will be based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and will include a global
coordinator, the Social Work Expert, a financial manager part time and a MEAL officer part time. It will
coordinate with the implementing teams in the different countries.
The Social Work Expert is also responsible for supervising the Laotian component of the project which
takes place in Vientiane Capital.
The position is based in Phnom Penh with regular missions and training in Laos, Vietnam, Philippines and
Banchey Manchey Province in Cambodia.
1. The organization
PE&D, the consortium leader, has been present in Southeast Asia since 1984, the year of its creation, and
has projects in Vietnam and Cambodia. In the 1990s, it also conducted projects in the Philippines for street
children and primary health care in Laos. It is therefore an area that the association knows well. In addition
to its experience in the fight against trafficking in Nepal, PE&D has been implementing and developing a
methodology called Family Development Program in Vietnam (HCMV) and Cambodia for 20 years. This
social work methodology has proven its strength in developing the capacities of families to better respond
to the needs of their children.
Faced with the increase in the number of children at risk due to the effects of Covid (according to the ILO
and UNICEF, nine million additional children are at risk in the world), PE&D considers that it is urgent to
carry out prevention and protection actions in four Southeast Asian countries, by bringing together two
other French NGOs involved in this field.
With its experience in the coordination of multi-country programs (3 over the last 10 years) and in
consortium (5 over the last 8 years), PE&D will be responsible for the coordination of the project, the
animation of the transversal activities, the consolidation of the monitoring/evaluation, the budgetary
control and the realization of the reports. PE&D will carry the voice of the consortium to the networks of
child protection actors in Southeast Asia.
