TERMS OF REFERENCE

Position Name: WVV Project Assistant – TMSV Project (temporary)

Unit/Project: WVV’s TMSV

Reports To: Project Manager – TMSV Project

Working Time: 5 days/week

WORK CONTEXT / BACKGROUND:

World Vision (WV) is a Christian relief and development organisation working to create lasting changes in the lives of children, families and communities living in poverty. WV serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. As a child-focused organization, WV’s work focuses on children, ensuring they are protected and their basic needs are met.

The project Tackling Modern Slavery from Vietnam: an Interagency Program for Behaviour Change, Access to Justice and Reintegration Support will tackle modern slavery from Vietnam through harnessing the experience, knowledge, networks and resources of IOM, World Vision International and British Council to implement a coordinated series of interventions across five source provinces of human trafficking and modern slavery, with focus on newly identified vulnerable groups in five target provinces: Nghe An (Yen Thanh; Dien Chau); Hai Phong (Hai Phong city; Thuy Nguyen); Quang Binh: (Dong Hoi, Bo Trach); Ha Tinh (Can Loc; Nghi Xuan); and Quang Ninh (Ha Long city). This will be achieved by seeking change on the following impacts:

• Impact area 1: will be achieved through first establishing the key factors that contribute to vulnerability before engaging the necessary government and non-government actors to raise awareness and change behaviour, including by promoting meaningful livelihood alternatives.
• Impact area 2: vulnerable populations will be empowered through improved coordination, delivery and understanding of justice and social support services. Strategies for prosecution and sentencing will also be developed, whilst effective coordination among justice sector institutions will be achieved through promoting provincial level coordination mechanisms, including increased functionality of the national trafficking database.
• Impact area 3: addresses this by building the capacity of key stakeholders involved in victim identification in Vietnam and the UK ensuring at-risk individuals are identified early and correctly, and victims are supported adequately, and with dignity. Rehabilitation and reintegration assistance therefore, will contribute significantly to reducing vulnerability to human trafficking, modern slavery and poverty.
