Case Follow-up and Resolution:

• Escalate complex or sensitive cases (such as safeguarding concerns) to the appropriate focal points in line with LABDI’s referral pathways.

Community Engagement:

• Support sensitization activities to raise awareness about LABDI’s grievance mechanisms and encourage safe reporting.


• Facilitate regular feedback sessions with communities to strengthen trust and promote accountability.

Reporting and Learning:

• Prepare periodic reports on complaints received, resolved, and pending, highlighting trends and areas for improvement.


• Contribute to the continuous improvement of feedback mechanisms, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility, especially for vulnerable groups (children, women, persons with disabilities).

Safeguarding & Compliance:

• Adhere to and promote LABDI’s policies on child safeguarding, protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), and data confidentiality at all times.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, including facilitation and conflict resolution.


• High degree of integrity, empathy, and confidentiality.
