The level of technical support provided to consortium members is defined at key stages in the project cycle and varies according to the priority of the project and the support needed by the Country Offices and it will be provided with the support of the consortium’s Child Protection, Gender and Inclusion and Safeguarding advisors. The coordinator will report directly to the Global Project Manager.
