Background Information and the Need for Third-Party Staff.
Client Ethiopia, in collaboration with the Addis Ababa City Administration and relevant partners, has supported the development of the Bulbula Youth Sports Facility as a safe, inclusive and child- and adolescent-friendly platform for structured sports, recreation and integrated multisectoral services. The facility is intended to contribute to child and adolescent development, inclusion, protection, social cohésion, positive life opportunities and resilience through sports-based engagement and linkages with nutrition, health, menstrual health and hygiene, life skills, learning, livelihood pathways and community engagement.

Justification
Following completion and handover arrangements, Client will support an interim management and utilization arrangement for the Bulbula Youth Sports Facility, effective upon signature of the relevant arrangement until 30 June 2029. To ensure the facility is safely, efficiently and inclusively managed on a day-to-day basis, Client requires a qualified Sport Facility Manager to oversee facility operations, coordinate structured sports programming, support integrated child and adolescent services, maintain records, promote equitable access and ensure compliance with child safeguarding, PSEA, non-discrimination, safety, confidentiality and integrity requirements.
This assignment will advance Client’s programme objectives by ensuring that the Bulbula Youth Sports Facility functions as a safe, clean, inclusive and well-coordinated platform for children, adolescents, youth and the surrounding community. The Sport Facility Manager will work closely with Client, Sewunet Bishaw Sports Academy, relevant service providers and community stakeholders to support daily operations, reserved free access for economically disadvantaged children and adolescents, fee-based training arrangements where applicable, integrated service days, facility upkeep, incident reporting and regular implementation monitoring.

Single sourcing of the potential candidate will be applied because the Sport Facility Manager role requires specialized knowledge of the Bulbula Youth Sports Facility, close coordination with Sewunet Bishaw Academy, and immediate operational continuity. Consulting the Academy will help identify a suitable candidate with relevant sports facility management experience, familiarity with youth sports programming, and the capacity to uphold Client’s requirements on safeguarding, inclusion, safety, accountability, and community engagement.
