ROLE PURPOSE:

The MHPSS Advisor will use their technical expertise, in-depth contextual understanding, and relationship-building skills to define and deliver our strategic vision for high quality, integrated MHPSS programming in Somalia, in line with global standards and latest research. This builds on a growing and increasingly well-documented recognition of the critical MHPSS needs and of the gaps in available national and local services, NGO responses, referral mechanisms and documentation for this constantly growing challenge.
The main purpose of this role is to provide strong technical leadership in Somalia on Mental health & Psychosocial Support. The aim is to enhance the quality of MHPSS work delivered by SCI and its Partners across sectors and themes, bringing measurable and lasting changes in the lives of children.

The role will lead CO-level MHPSS integration in strategy development and will oversee integrated MHPSS technical design and implementation of high-quality programmes that deliver change for children in both emergency and development programming. The role supports national advocacy and influencing, while driving strategic partnerships for new business development. It supports the design and implementation of monitoring and evaluation systems to demonstrate impact, while sharing learning across our programmes, teams and partners. The role will work closely with operations colleagues and with partners in building their capacity and building ownership and agency of local organizations. This role includes a focus on external representation on priority issues around mental health promotion, prevention and access to the care, and the strengthening of an effective and sustainable MHPSS continuum. In the event of a major humanitarian emergency, the role holder will be expected to work outside the normal role profile and be able to vary working hours accordingly.

Staff reporting to this post:

No direct reports but technical support and coordination of in-country relevant staff
Dimension of Role

: Save the Children has been working in Somalia for more than 70 years. The Country Office has over 450 staff across 10 field offices. In 2024 we reached more than 3.2 million people through our humanitarian and longer-term development work in Health, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Education, Child Poverty Reduction, Child Protection and Child Rights Governance. The Country Office has a large and diverse funding portfolio – managing over 80 active awards. In 2024 our portfolio was $109.2M from a range of governmental/institutional donors, including GPE, FCDO, MFA, DANIDA, Danish Embassy, SIDA, SDC, NORAD, EU, ECHO, GAC, GFFO AFDB & WB. However, MHPSS portfolio in Somalia is currently integrated across various sectors, including CP, Education, and FSL. However, this integration is ad-hoc and relies on project-specific resources rather than a cohesive country-level framework. There is no standardized approach, resulting in variable technical quality and weak systems for measuring child-level MHPSS outcomes. This position aims to establish a strong, coordinated, and quality-assured MHPSS system across the country office.

Overview & Responsibilities

The International Development Law Organization (IDLO), in collaboration with consortium partners, is implementing the “Strengthening the Social Contract through Access to Justice” programme in Somaliland, funded by the Government of the Netherlands. Known locally as the Damal Programme, the initiative aims to enhance the legitimacy and responsiveness of justice institutions through strengthened Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) systems.

A core function of the ADR centers is to offer referral accompaniment services, a critical component in ensuring that vulnerable individuals—especially survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), persons with disabilities, and those in remote or marginalized areas—receive inclusive, accessible, and trauma-informed justice services. These services connect ADR clients with legal aid, health, psychosocial, and other protection support.

As part of the programme’s focus on sustainability, institutionalization, and policy alignment, this consultancy aims to review current referral accompaniment practices, document lessons (tops, tips, flops), and develop a roadmap for embedding referral policies and laws into the justice framework of Somaliland.

IDLO seeks a short-term Consultant to assess the operational practices, impact, and policy environment surrounding the referral accompaniment services provided by ADR centers. The consultant will also provide strategic guidance on how to institutionalize these practices in policy and law, ensuring improved access to justice for vulnerable populations.

The assignment supports IDLO’s long-term objectives of localization, sustainability, and government ownership of justice service delivery, particularly through the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

• Analyze key documents, including SOPs, forms, intake sheets, and client-tracking tools
• Assess how ADR centres coordinate with formal justice, health, and protection actors (e.g., police, health centres, shelters, and legal aid providers)

Identify Strengths, Weaknesses, and Gaps

• Document referral accompaniment practices using a Tops, Tips, and Flops framework (successes, best practices, failures)
• Evaluate user experiences, especially of SGBV survivors, women, and other vulnerable groups
• Examine internal coordination, response times, confidentiality, and survivor safety

Recommend Policy and Legal Actions

• Propose legal and institutional pathways for integrating referral accompaniment into justice policy (e.g., through MoJ regulations or guidelines)
• Identify relevant regional or international best practices
• Draft a concept note for the MoJ on the integration of referral accompaniment mechanisms into national access to justice strategies

Deliverables

The final deliverables under this consultancy are:
