Job Description

Under the supervision of the Advocacy Manager and the oversight of the Country Director, the Outreach Officers will support effective implementation of FYF’s Iraqi Female Changemakers project.

FYF, in collaboration with its consortium partners, is launching the transformative Changemakers program, which aims to advance gender equality and empower REM women in Iraq by facilitating their meaningful involvement and participation in decision-making processes at all levels. The program spans across 9 locations in Iraq and the KRI, focusing on equipping REM women with conflict resolution skills, advocacy strategies, and the tools necessary for their meaningful participation in civic and political processes and improved social cohesion.

The Outreach Officer will be responsible for conducting fieldwork, including focus group discussions (FGDs) and community surveys, to gather crucial data on attitudes and risks related to REM women’s participation in civic and political engagement. Additionally, the Outreach Officer will play a key role in facilitating training sessions, building the capacity of Changemakers, and supporting ongoing community outreach and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) efforts throughout the program’s implementation.
