Project Description:
Mott MacDonald is seeking a Hub Coordinator – Rajshahi for USAID-funded Adolescent Health Activity (USAID’s Swapno Jatra Activity) in Bangladesh. This project will address systemic gaps that limit the provision of tailored adolescent healthcare services, and social factors that foster early/ child marriage, and in turn, childbearing. To achieve its goal to accelerate reductions in adolescent childbearing and child marriage, the Adolescent Health Activity will focus on investments to strengthen support systems for very young adolescents (boys and girls aged 10-14).
This activity will focus on the following four key objectives: 1) increased agency of adolescents to exercise their rights to delay marriage and early childbearing; 2) strengthened social support to delay marriage and early childbearing; 3) strengthened essential services for adolescents and their families; and 4) institutionalized effective solutions.
