Innovative ideas are tested

  • The Africa Economic Justice (AEJ) is a regional programme supporting regional civil society
    organizations working in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • The work of AEJ is divided into three thematic
    clusters on unfair financial flows; financial and investment regimes and economic empowerment
    of women.
  • The strategic programme offers a platform where new practices and innovative ideas on social
    and economic justice and economic empowerment of women are tested and developed.

    Developed a new programme

  • Given the urgent need for Sub-Saharan African countries to increase their domestic resource
    mobilization to achieve the SDGs, the AEJ has developed a new programme on Promoting
    Domestic Resource Mobilisation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • The proposed programme aims to address some of the causes for the inability to expand and realize domestic resource mobilization
    and is designed on the premise that Africa is facing challenges that can well be solved by
    cooperation between countries through regional integration.
  • The programme aims to take advantage of existing regional policy frameworks to push for maximization of domestic resource mobilization.
  • To achieve this, priority is to build the capacity and support regional civil society organizations.
  • The partners will lobby and engage key change
    agents at the regional and national level to advocate for policies that
    support increased domestic
    resources.
  • To support this, we are looking for outstanding, dynamic, results-oriented and self-driven individuals to fill the positions of Programme Officer and Grants Compliance Officer.

    Programme Officer

  • The Programme Officer will provide key support in planning, formulating and implementing the operations of assigned programme work-plan and budget, monitor expenditures as well as provide technical and management oversight on programme activities implemented by partner organizations to ensure compliance with funding and Global Diakonia requirements.
  • We are looking for an action-oriented person who understands the development and civil society
    context in Africa.
  • This being a regional programme, we are looking for a person who has Africa regional level experience.
  • The position requires an understanding of donor compliance and experience in procurement. Knowledge of French is desirable.

    Grants Compliance Officer

  • The Grants Compliance Officer will provide technical support to partner organizations, ensuring
    their compliance with Diakonia policies, as well as funding and reporting requirements from inception to contract closure in accordance with grant agreements and other appropriate protocols.
  • We are looking for an action-oriented person with wide experience in grant management of regional and local partners. Knowledge of French is desirable.
