Yetu Project Director - Aga Khan Foundation

by Unknown  |  at  9:13 AM

Interested in being on the cutting edge of philanthropy? Want to make a tangible difference in Kenya? Do you think civil society has a role to play in the country’s future?
AKF is starting a 4-year project with USAID entitled the Yetu Initiative. Yetu means “Our” in Kiswahili, and the Initiative will help Kenyans assert, “These are our concerns, and these are our solutions.” Yetu will strengthen CSOs in community philanthropy, which occurs when citizens mobilize their own resources to address their community’s needs.
AKF is searching for a self-motivated, engaging, proactive and energetic Director to oversee the effort, with ultimate responsibility for implementation.
Specific Responsibilities Include:
  • Manage the Initiative – ensuring targets are accomplished, deadlines are met, and objectives are achieved.
  • Coordinate a staff of 4, as well as numerous volunteers and subgrantees.
  • Oversee all implementation aspects, including: work-planning, reporting, communications, monitoring, evaluation, research, learning, subgrant management, and financial management.
  • Coordinate with a variety of stakeholders, including USAID, the Steering Committee, the Global Alliance for Community Philanthropy, the AKF-USA office, and especially the government of Kenya.
  • Constantly engage with businesses to solicit support and catalyze partnerships with CSOs.
  • As directed, manage emerging programmatic issues and activities
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in relevant field (Master’s preferred)
  • Minimum 5 years working with CSOs (7 plus years preferred), with at least 3 years in a leadership role
  • Minimum 3 years working in or engaging with the business sector (5 plus years preferred)
  • Minimum 2 years working on USAID-funded projects
  • Experience with fundraising campaigns and other innovative outreach and sustainability efforts
  • Demonstrated ability to network and catalyze cooperation and learning between disparate groups, including business and government
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with key AKF sectors and the Kenyan context for civil society
Kenya-based candidates (AKF does not anticipate covering relocation costs) interested in this opportunity should submit a cover letter, CV and contact information of three professional referees by January 23, 1015, to the Regional Human Resources Director, AKF(EA), at: recruitment@akfea.org  Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
The Aga Khan Foundation is an agency of the Aga Khan Development Network (www.akdn.org).
