Overview of position There is a growing global evidence-base that supports the integration of MHPSS into livelihood programming, especially when engaging people who have faced severe adversity, including displacement, loss and protracted violence. Particularly in contexts like Somalia, economic and psychosocial resilience are bi-directional. Not having work is a key stressor for many, but at the same time if individuals are emotionally distressed, have low self-esteem and self-worth, are mistrustful of others, have poor relationships, then success in their economic pursuits can be limited. And so, working on both outcomes at the same time – economic and mental health – can have better and more sustained impacts in both areas. Our client, in partnership with Concern Worldwide, have conducted two pilot projects looking at the integration of MHPSS and livelihoods, with strong support for positive outcomes in both areas. A recent award from the JPAL Humanitarian Protection Initiative (HPI) will now allow for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test this synergistic relationship more systematically. All activities will be conducted in Baidoa. === Skills & Qualifications === Qualification Diploma in Psychology, Psychiatry, Counselling, Sociology or a related field (essential).Sector experienceMinimum of 4 year/s of demonstrable relevant experience in providing MHPSS services, including for victims of violations and trauma victims (essential).
