Specifically, the JRS Office supports USAID Missions, Bureaus, and Independent Offices (M/B/IOs) throughout all phases of the program cycle in order to close the global justice gap; make human rights values and norms actionable, enforceable, and realizable; and prevent and respond to crime, violence, and extremism. In doing so, it applies a people-centered approach to design and implementation of programming, so that their justice-, rights-, and security-related needs are met. The Office serves USAID and M/B/IOs by: 1) providing state-of-the-art technical leadership in strategy and program design; 2) undertaking assessments and contributing to applied research that inform innovative, evidence-based and results-oriented activities; 3) translating knowledge and learning into accessible training, tools, and resources that equip the global DRG cadre; 4) stewarding funding and global field support mechanisms that enable Missions to respond to critical opportunities and urgent needs; 5) shaping USAID, interagency, and multilateral policy discourse and frameworks to enable more effective engagement and assistance; and 6) serving as technical representatives and collaborators with peer donors, civil society, and experts in our field. The JRS Senior Security Sector Reform Advisor will support the security sector reform portfolio at USAID, and contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of rights-related assistance programs worldwide.
