The Role:

The Securing Rights of Women Domestic Workers in Bangladesh project (in brief: Suniti Project) aims to improve the well-being of women domestic workers in Dhaka by enabling them to access their rights to decent work as defined by the ILO. This seven-year project builds on the momentum of the 2015 Domestic Worker Protection and Welfare Policy, which recognizes domestic work as a profession and extends rights and protections to domestic workers. The ultimate goal is to increase the social and economic well-being of women domestic workers.

The Senior Programme Officer will ensure effective program and project implementation by coordinating with stakeholders, enhancing partner and staff capacity, and achieving results. It involves collaborating with government departments, initiating advocacy, and engaging with the private sector for community income and employment. Responsibilities include monitoring progress through a MEAL framework, documenting achievements, managing knowledge, influencing public policy, and ensuring program quality and accountability.
