The OSRA program will closely collaborate with different local stakeholders and other Government of Egypt (GOE) entities to attain its results.

The Youth Engagement Advisor will lead in the design/ adaptation, implementation and monitoring of age- and life stage tailored youth FP/RH behaviour change activities under the OSRA program. S/he will work with the OSRA Social Behaviour Change (SBC) and Youth teams to develop interventions and innovative approaches that will increase meaningful youth engagement to address youth’s needs and realities and better equip youth for current and future community leadership. The Youth Engagement Advisor will ensure that interventions use best practices to engage youth in the program and provide strategic technical guidance on youth integration to project staff, government officials, and community stakeholders project partners and stakeholders.
The Youth Engagement Advisor will work under the direction of the Positive Youth Development Team Lead (PYD). She/he will also be indirectly backstopped by an Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) Advisor based at Save the Children US on technical matters related to FP/RH youth activities.
