Project Coordinator Job in Narela, Delhi: Child Survival India Hiring for Project Shakti (Gender-Based Violence Prevention Programme)
Location: Narela, Delhi | Salary: Rs. 30,000/month (consolidated) | Last Date to Apply: 26th September 2026
If you're an experienced development-sector professional looking for a meaningful role in community mobilisation and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, Child Survival India (CSI) has an open position for a Project Coordinator to lead its flagship initiative, Project Shakti, in Narela, Delhi.
About Child Survival India
Founded in April 1991 and headquartered in New Delhi, Child Survival India (CSI) is a nonprofit organisation with a three-decade legacy of supporting underprivileged women and children across rural and urban communities. What began as a child-focused mission has since grown into a broader commitment to community empowerment. CSI operates on the belief that people already possess the capacity to drive positive change in their own lives — the organisation's role is to act as a catalyst, equipping communities with the tools, confidence, and support systems they need to build self-sufficiency and resilience.
About Project Shakti
Project Shakti is CSI's community-centred response to gender-based violence among women and adolescent girls in Narela, Delhi. The programme takes a multi-pronged approach, working directly with:
Community stakeholders to build local awareness and support
Mahila Panchayats, strengthening these grassroots protective structures
Para legal workers, whose capacity is built to ensure survivors and at-risk women and girls get timely access to information, protection, and support mechanisms
The goal is a stronger, more coordinated community response to GBV — one rooted in local ownership rather than external intervention alone.
Role Overview: Project Coordinator
The Project Coordinator will be the operational lead for Project Shakti in Narela, reporting directly to the Program Manager. This is a full-time position requiring close, on-ground coordination with para legal workers, Mahila Panchayat members, and local duty-bearers to strengthen the community's ability to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.
Key Roles & Responsibilities
Oversee the implementation of all project activities — mohalla meetings, panchayat meetings, adolescent girls' sessions, community events, and trainings — with support from para legal workers
Build relationships and sustained engagement with opinion leaders, panchayat members, public health functionaries, police, protection officers, and lawyers to strengthen support for the project and resolve implementation challenges
Ensure the Mahila Panchayat functions regularly and effectively
Plan and conduct trainings and community events alongside para legal workers and Mahila Panchayat members
Maintain complete, accurate case records and oversee documentation standards among para legal workers
Compile and share timely reports on trainings, meetings, events, and other activities with the Program Manager
Provide day-to-day mentoring and field support to para legal workers
Support the Program Manager in tracking project progress against work plans and targets
Represent the project at community, government, and inter-agency forums as needed
Qualifications & Experience
Graduate or postgraduate degree in Social Work, Development Studies, Sociology, or a related field (preferred)
2–3 years of relevant experience in community mobilisation, gender-based violence programming, or protection-related work
Prior experience working with Panchayats, community-based structures, or para legal networks is an added advantage
Sound understanding of legal and protection frameworks relevant to women and child safety in India
Skills & Competencies
Strong interpersonal and community engagement abilities
Comfort coordinating across diverse stakeholders — government officials, police, and legal professionals
Solid planning, organisational, and documentation skills
Sensitivity to gender issues and a genuine commitment to survivor-centred approaches
Proficiency in Hindi (spoken and written); working knowledge of English preferred
Willingness to travel extensively within Narela and surrounding field areas
