Job Description
Program Description

In Senegal, traditional religious beliefs and practices along with rapid urbanization and poverty have created a system in which families – mostly extremely poor and from rural areas in Senegal as well as neighboring countries – send their children away to Quranic schools (daaras) where they may be under the care of unscrupulous religious leaders (marabouts). These marabouts send their students (talibés) as young as five into urban and periurban areas to beg for food, money and other necessities. While on the streets begging – or after running away, which is not uncommon – talibés face physical and sexual abuse, exposure to illegal substances, and vulnerability to car accidents and drowning, among other dangers and forms of exploitation. In the daaras, talibés may face extremely unsanitary and crowded conditions, regular and severe corporal punishment, sexual abuse, poor protection against the elements, and the trauma of family rupture. Many talibés enter adulthood deprived of a decent education and unprepared for productive employment.

Free the Slaves’ Aar Sunu Khaleyi (“Protect Our Children”) project targets anti-trafficking activities to assist talibés in Senegal. The long-term goal of this project is to sustainably reduce the number of talibés in trafficking situations in Saint-Louis and sustainably prevent children from being trafficked from Kolda. The project’s partner organizations in Senegal are ENDA Jeunesse Action (ENDA-J.A.) and Platform for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (PPDH). ENDA is Free the Slaves’ primary grantee in Saint-Louis and Kolda, and PPDH supports a hospitable national environment for Saint-Louis and Kolda reforms and shares lessons and successes at the national level.

Free the Slaves carried out a participatory baseline assessment with ENDA J.A and PPDH to assess, respectively, ENDA’s organizational capacity and PPDH’s coalition capacity. The baseline highlighted areas for capacity improvement.

The consultant will work in close collaboration with the FTS Senegal Program Coordinator to facilitate the development, and oversee the implementation, of each partner organization’ plan to strengthen its organizational capacity.
