Job Title: Media Officer

Location: Benue
Employment Type: Full Time

Position Summary

Search is seeking a Media Officer for a 12-month project funded by the United States Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
The project will be implemented in consortium with two implementing Partners namely: Initiative for Justice Development and Peace Commission (IJDPC) Yola and Foundation for Justice, Development and Peace (FJDP) Benue with the overall goal of promoting collaborative multi-stakeholder engagement and advocacy processes to reduce human rights abuse by police forces in Benue and Adamawa States.
The Media Officer will work with the project team in empowering diverse persons in Benue to be aware of their rights and responsibilities, advocate against human rights abuses by security actors, specifically the Police forces. 
The position holder will also work with the project team and stakeholders to engage in evidence-based human rights monitoring, reporting, and advocacy thereby reducing human rights abuses.
The candidate should be experienced in working with media partners in using media as a tool to address human rights abuse by giving voice to stakeholders.
The position holder must be organized and experienced in deploying media as a tool for conflict transformation in relation to creating social behavioral change. 
Background of the Project

Adamawa and Benue states have experienced various types of conflict ranging from banditry, communal conflict, cultism, economic conflict, ethnic conflict, and religious conflict. These conflicts often result in loss of life and destruction of property, reflecting deep-seated tensions between different community groups. The violence often revolves around competition for land and resources, with herders and farmers clashing over grazing routes and farmland. This ongoing conflict underscores the urgent need for sustainable solutions and conflict resolution mechanisms.
Furthermore, early warning reports and dialogues highlight a mutual lack of trust between citizens and security forces, effectively hindering the collaborative and holistic approach required to usher in a new era of peace and security in the region that prevents future human rights violations.      
Search, in collaboration with its partners Initiative for Justice Development and Peace Commission (IJDPC) and Foundation for Justice, Development, and Peace (FJDP) has designed a project in response to the challenges and opportunities outlined above. The overall goal of the project is to promote collaborative multi-stakeholder engagement and advocacy processes to reduce human rights abuse by police forces in Benue and Adamawa State. This goal is supported by the following specific objectives and four interrelated expected results:

Objective 1:

To strengthen the capacity of target CSOs, media, and community stakeholders to advance evidence-based HR monitoring, reporting, and constructive advocacy
ER1.1. Increased knowledge and skills of target CSOs and media actors in human rights monitoring, reporting, and constructive advocacy.
ER1.2. Strengthened communication and coordination between target CSO, media, and community stakeholders to build evidence to influence security sector policy and practice related to accountability and human rights.

Objective 2:

 To foster collaboration around increased accountability between target police actors, government authorities, CSOs, and local communities
ER2.1. Increased understanding of human rights principles amongst police actors.
ER2.2. Increased constructive interaction between affected communities, key government and civil society stakeholders, and police on issues related to human rights and protection.
The project’s impact will reinforce the links between civil societies, existing human rights monitoring platforms, and police forces to take coherent action to support the protection of civilian rights. Particularly in the context of the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East and farmer-herder disputes in the Middle Belt, improvements in relations between police and communities will reduce push factors towards radicalization and intercommunal violent conflict.

Roles and Responsibilities
