Why?
The Netherlands Red Cross Under the Next Generation programme has prioritised youth development. Interventions for youth aim at developing youth as assets for agricultural and economic growth of the community and the country at large. A Young Expert will play a key role in addressing the development and food security/livelihoods needs of young people and their households. The Young Expert will contribute to enhancing the ability of the NLRC to save lives, protect livelihoods, promote sustainability and contribute to a healthier, safer and more resilient world. NRLC is seeking ways to increase our human resource capacity to ensure the effective delivery of programs. The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) currently does not have sufficient technical Food security and Livelihood. The Dutch Young Expert not only provides technical assistance to the project but also will help to train the local staff of the Philippine Red Cross and builds the project cycle management capacity of the PRC.
