It also supports civil society actors to enhance their capacity to influence key policy areas, particularly those related to women and gender considerations.

To this end, ACTED has already started a country wide programme aiming at strengthening the economic rights of women. Additionally, teams have started an intervention to support communities and local authorities in Southern Yangon region to be prepared to natural disasters.

South Sudan

Exciting opportunity to join a progressive organisation in a key leadership role and help shape the future of armed violence reduction programming in South Sudan and globally.

Background

Danish Demining Group (DDG) is the branch of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) that focuses on human security programming. DDG and DRC have been present in South Sudan since 2006 and currently have operations in eight of ten states in the country. While initially DDG’s focus was on traditional Mine Action activities such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Mine Risk Education, DDG has developed an innovative and fast-expanding Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) programme as well.

DDG’s AVR programme identifies safety and security needs from the perspective of those living with conflict and helps provide holistic solutions to communities’ security problems, bridging the gap between protection and security sector reform. In recognition that armed violence poses a serious obstacle to socio-economic development, assistance is also delivered through DRC and other partners’ Community Driven Development programmes. DDG’s primary focus is however to deliver its AVR efforts alongside Mine Action teams and to maintain a flexible capacity to test, improve and deliver new approaches to AVR, for example in the area of small arms and light weapons (SALW) control. DDG also advocates at a central level for Armed Violence Reduction as co-chair of the inter-agency Conflict Reduction & Peace Building sub-cluster in Juba and through the delivery of published research on the theme of armed violence and development.

Programme Funding Officer Democratic republic of Congo

Salary: USD 28,853 to USD 40,886 per annum (depending on qualifications & experience)

Based: Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with regular travel

Closing date: 9am, Monday 24 June 2013

Conflict, corruption, food insecurity, HIV, the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa has huge hurdles to overcome on the way to lifting their people out of poverty. You’ll help us and our partners secure the funding that is vital to providing the support this country programme desperately depends upon.

We’re working with partners across the DRC on programmes that are addressing a range of issues, from conflict and governance to food insecurity and natural resources management. You’ll lead the funding work in French and English for all of these. It will involve getting a real grass roots understanding of our work, identifying potential donors, preparing funding applications and managing a range of complex financial reporting. You’ll spend time with programme teams across DRC to develop your knowledge of priority areas, which will mean travelling regularly within DRC. It will then be down to you to translate that into successful proposals in French and English that improve the funding capacity of our NGO partners and DRC country office. Whilst dedicating a large part of your time to the DRC, this position may also require you to support funding applications in other francophone countries (Sahel region, Burundi and Haiti). We’ll expect you to identify funding opportunities for DRC with institutional donors and governments and build the kind of positive relationships that will enable you to leverage those opportunities.

It’s essential that you are fluent in written and spoken French and English and have experience of preparing reports and proposals for donors such as the EC, ECHO, DFID, USAID and UN. We’ll expect you to demonstrate a proven success at securing funds as well as experience of narrative and financial reporting. Your background will have given you a real understanding of development issues and chances are you’ll also have a relevant degree and some field experience in high-risk, high-security contexts. On top of your excellent communication and presentation skills, you’ll be highly numerate and have a real analytical ability. You’ll be the kind of person who has the knowledge, qualities and skills to be a real influence on this area and someone who’s a great addition to any team.

More than half the world lives in poverty. We aim to put a stop to that. So we campaign against the inequalities that keep people poor and we work with local organisations to give people strength to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion. If you’re as determined as we are to end poverty and injustice across the world, work with us to make change happen.
