Assignment: Develop the Digitalization of Human Rights Reporting System
Duration: 10 days
Release day: 11th May 2026
Application Deadline: 25th May 2026.
Overview
With support from the Global Fund, World Vision International is implementing the Breaking Down Barriers Human Rights interventions through the National AIDS Secretariat (NAS) to reduce the impact of human rights violations on service delivery and uptake. The grant implementation period will run from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027.
While human rights violations continue to significantly affect service uptake, the established redress mechanisms are now in place to address the challenges encountered. However, the lack of standardized tools and fragmented information flow, including delays in reporting, affects both the quality and timeliness of how redress mechanisms address complaints.
As data accumulates, the importance of effective data management cannot be overstated. This highlights the need for electronic systems for human rights data collection and management.
We invite suitable applicants with the necessary skills to review the existing documentation and reporting tools for Human Rights Implementation. This review will be conducted in collaboration with the Network of HIV Positives in Sierra Leone, civil society organizations, and NAS. The goal of the review is to harmonize tools, streamline information flow, and support the transition to an electronic documentation and reporting system from the field to national decision-making levels.

- To review and harmonize existing human rights documentation tools across partner organization, including NETHIPS, NAS, and Civil society organizations
