Role Description

The Evidence to Influence Advisor is a strategic role within Advocacy & External Engagement, established to drive World Vision's evidence-based policy influence agenda. This position is responsible for:

It ensures that advocacy is prioritized, intentional, and aligned with a clear set of partnership-wide advocacy child results that drive accountability, coherence, and influence.

Through hands-on advisory support, the position strengthens the integration of advocacy across strategies, programmes, and evidence systems, enabling National Offices to move from dispersed efforts to high-impact, results-driven policy and systems influence at scale.

By fostering strategic partnerships and improving the consistency of advocacy monitoring and learning, the role contributes to positioning World Vision as a leading, trusted Christian, child-focused humanitarian organisation.
