<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">The Asia Foundation (the Foundation) is implementing an Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW) Program in Timor-Leste under a Grant Agreement with the Australian Department
of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The program will run from 15 April 2014 to 30 June 2017 (Phase 1) with an option to extend for an additional four years (Phase 2). The EVAW Program
<b>goal </b>is to reduce the proportion of women who have experienced violence, and to better meet the needs of women and children affected by violence. The
<b>objective </b>is to improve outcomes for women in prevention, support services, and access to justice by improving capacity in key ministries, reducing levels of violence, improving services, and strengthening judicial processes serving the needs of women
survivors of violence. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">The EVAW program will be implemented based on the DFAT EVAW Design Investment. It will be informed by research conducted on the underlying causes and opportunities for
EVAW in Timor-Leste relating to the core pillars of prevention, service provision, and access to justice.
</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12pt">For the prevention pillar, the program will seek to involve the government, in particular the Secretary of State for the Promotion of Equality, and civil society in designing, implementing and monitoring research
based prevention projects.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;color:black">The EVAW Program will work with the Ministry of Social Solidarity as the key government implementing agency for services to women and children who experienced violence.
</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12pt">The primary mechanisms under this pillar will be grants to CSO service providers, and institutional strengthening support to the Directorate of National Social Reinsertion (DNRS) within MSS who will be the
program’s primary counterpart.<span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12pt">The program will take a cautious and phased approach to the access to justice pillar which will
</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12pt">support the provision of legal assistance to women and children affected by violence and court monitoring.
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">The work will evolve based on research which aims to understand women’s pathways to justice and what are considered by women to be satisfactory outcomes.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt">Most of the violence against women in Timor-Leste is intimate partner violence. In prevention efforts, the EVAW program will shift focus from awareness raising and ‘socialisation’
of the Law Against Domestic Violence (LADV) towards a focus on promoting <b>behaviour change</b>, particularly among men and boys. Efforts under this Pillar will recognize and address the
<b>key risk factors</b> associated with higher rates of VAW, such as lifetime exposure to violence and gender-related social norms, with a key component of the Prevention Pillar aimed to reduce violence that is witnessed and experienced by children. The program,
however, recognizes and will seek to dismantle the <b>root causes</b> of VAW, namely persistent gender inequality and power imbalances within society.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:12pt">The Prevention Coordinator will manage the Prevention Pillar of the EVAW Program, under the direction of the Team Leader. The Coordinator will manage research and program
learning in the Prevention Pillar, including research regarding motivators of change, and grants to civil society partners to assess the impact of previous prevention activities. The Coordinator will provide strategic direction to the development of further
work under the Pillar including defining prevention targets, messaging, testing of messaging and identification of partners. The Coordinator will be the key contact point in the program with the Secretariat of State for the Promotion of Equality (SEPI). The
Coordinator will manage monitoring and evaluation of program activities including collaborating closely with partners to understand the impact of prevention activities. The Coordinator will work closely with colleagues across the EVAW Program to ensure robust
program learning. The Coordinator will supervise the work of a Senior Program Officer, Program Officers, a Program Assistant and consultants.</span></p>
