Kenya Red Cross Field Officer Jobs in Kenya
Job DescriptionThe Kenya Red Cross Society is implementing a 9-month COVID early recovery intervention in Kisauni, Mombasa County.
The project employs a hybrid approach of unconditional cash transfer and community inclusion currencies to support livelihood recovery of communities who have been affected by the outbreak of the COVID pandemic.
Community Inclusive Currencies (CICs) are block chain-based eVouchers that community members use to share, buy and sell basic needs among each other in the face of scarce national currency. CICs introduces a replicable mechanism for communities to eradicate poverty by creating connected, inclusive, and sustainable local circular economies.
CICs allow the community to trade amongst each other thereby increasing productivity, promoting a supporting and saving culture, and the registered members are able to access and afford necessities.
When combined with Cash Transfers and aid disbursements, CIC transaction data serves as a way to identify people in need and those that are working to support their community.
