About Restless Development

Restless Development is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) bound together by our vision for youth power. 

We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most. We also run the Youth Collective – a growing network of over 5,000 local youth-led organisations in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally.

Our Approach to Safeguarding

Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

We are looking for passionate and qualified consultants to :

  • Conduct a comprehensive desk review of relevant policies, legal frameworks, national and sub-national structures, and reports on the relevant committees.
  • Map existing committees and assess their functionality in the sectors of education, health, and social protection at village, ward, and district levels.
  • Identify mechanisms or criteria for youth inclusion and participation in these committees.
  • Determine the extent to which youth participation is formal, meaningful, and inclusive.
  • Highlight gaps, challenges, and best practices in youth engagement.
  • Highlight best practices or case studies, if any.
  • Prepare a draft report presenting findings and recommendations.
  • Facilitate a national validation workshop to present findings and gather stakeholder input.
  • Finalise the report incorporating feedback from the validation workshop.
