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 4000 local youth civil society groups and 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.

About the Role
Restless Development in collaboration with Swiss Contact aims to implement the VIJANA TWAWEZA Project in two councils of Iringa Municipal Council and Ifakara Town Council. This is a nine-month training project focused on poultry farming and value chain development with the objective of increasing employment opportunities for 200 young people in the Ifakara Town Council and 200 youth in Iringa municipal council, with a particular emphasis on young mothers and young women (aged 15 to 24). We aim to equip them with comprehensive skills and knowledge essential to successfully establishing and managing poultry related enterprises.
