The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and armed violence. We take action in response to emergencies and at the same time promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are an independent and neutral organization, and our mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

We direct and coordinate the international activities conducted in these situations.
Purpose
The Prison Systems Adviser provides expert advice to our delegations on all detention-related issues, in line with the ICRC’s Detention Framework.

She/he provides technical expertise to delegations and national authorities concerning the management and development of all aspects of prison systems.
The purpose of this position is to enhance the capacity of the ICRC delegations in Rwanda, Burundi and Madagascar to support the national prison authorities in developing and implementing sustainable solutions to humanitarian problems encountered in detention.
