To ensure this work includes the next generation of peacebuilders, the Kroc IPJ launched its Women Waging Peace (WWP) NextGen Initiative in 2019. This initiative creates intergenerational partnerships in which senior and junior women peacemakers collaborate to implement a peacebuilding initiative on a jointly identified need.
This Scope of Work lays out the deliverables and compensation for the position of Uganda NextGen Advocacy Assistant. This position is a 5 month, part-time contract. The Advocacy Assistant will work with the In-Country Coordinator, Kroc IPJ staff, Uganda Women Waging Peace members, and the WWP Uganda Advisory Committee to implement this initiative.

The Advocacy Assistant will:
● Work with Kroc IPJ to identify and establish three intergenerational partnerships within Uganda;
● Support the in-Country Coordinator to arrange trainings and convenings involving the members of the six intergenerational partnerships created in 2021 and 2022;
● Gather data on best practices related to intergenerational partnerships in peacebuilding and disseminate them with relevant government and civil society actors in Uganda in order to encourage long-term adoption of these practices.
● Support creation of the final learning/research output.

To complete these outputs, the Advocacy Assistant will specifically:
● Support the In-Country Coordinator with event arrangements;
● Convene and facilitate (virtually or in-person depending on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic) the intergenerational partners and relevant government and civil society actors;
