Key Responsibilities:
CONTEXT
World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization working to improve the quality of life of people, especially children, who are marginalized and living in poverty. World Vision helps all who are in need regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity or gender.
World Vision Viet Nam (WVIV) is supported by multiple countries and funded through a combination of sponsorship programs (majority) and Private Non-Sponsorship (PNS)/grants. WVIV operates across multiple provinces and implements Area Development Programs (ADPs) that focus on communities with high levels of poverty, often including ethnic minority populations. In addition to ADPs, WVIV implements various Special and Grant Projects to address the specific needs of vulnerable children in both ADP and non-ADP areas.
WVIV is headquartered in Hanoi, while majority of staff are based locally in ADPs and project sites across the country which enables them to work closely with government partners and communities on a daily basis.
JOBPURPOSE
The ADP Development Facilitator (DF) serves as a catalyst and community mobilizer, building strong partnerships with local stakeholders to drive sustainable, child-focused development. Reporting directly to the Area Development Program Manager (ADPM), the DF facilitates community empowerment processes and strengthens the capacity of local partners to improve and sustain the well-being of children—especially the most vulnerable.
The role is responsible for managing and implementing technical project activities in assigned communes, ensuring quality delivery, meaningful community participation, and alignment with World Vision’s child-focused, community-based development approach. The DF also advocates for child well-being with local partners and contributes to evidence generation, accountability, and sustainability of program outcomes.
