Cambodia is a priority country given the impacts of the climate crisis on children and their families, and our evolving programming priorities in the country. SCI Cambodia is looking for an experienced expert in climate change impacts and adaptation, with a commitment to children’s rights, who can use their in-depth contextual understanding, technical expertise, and relationship-building skills to define and deliver our strategic ambition for Climate Change in Cambodia and ensure that all of our climate change programming, especially in the areas of Education, Livelihoods, and Child Protection is of excellent technical quality and contributes significantly to Save the Children’s strategic objectives.
