Effective with the release of this position announcement, Winrock International is recruiting applicants for the position of Graphic Design Consultant for the USAID Thailand CTIP project. The program falls under Winrock’s Civic Engagement and Social Equity (CESE) Unit within the Civil Society & Education (CSE) Group. The responsibilities, duties, and qualifications are described in the attached position description.

GENERAL:

Winrock is a recognized leader in domestic and international development with a focus on social and environmental issues.

We pride ourselves as a learning organization that embraces continuous improvement in program results and processes and a culture of accountability.

As a source, transit, and destination country, Thailand faces multiple manifestations of trafficking in persons (TIP), including forced labor. These are fueled by growth and demand for low-skilled labor in sectors such as agriculture and fishing, construction, and food processing. According to the 2016 US Department of State report on trafficking in persons (TIP report) Thailand has 3-4 million migrant workers, many of whom arrived undocumented from neighboring countries to find better paying jobs. More than 53% of unskilled migrant workers are youth. Large populations of ethnic minorities, highland persons, children from rural areas, stateless persons, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals are also at increased risk for trafficking and exploitation due to difficulties they face resulting from discrimination. Forced labor is reported in many sectors, but the number of victims identified remains low because of inadequate screening, combined with hard-to-reach sectors where many migrants work and a lack of self-reporting.
