Global Fund For Children
Program Officer
Description
We are looking for a Program Officer to help drive change by and for children and youth in the Africa. The Program Officer will support our 3-year 'Thriving through Play' initiative, which promotes children’s mental health and well-being through play-based interventions in refugee and host communities in Kenya and Uganda.
The Program Officer will play a pivotal role in advancing the initiative through a wide range of activities from selection of partners to building direct relationships with them; serving as a mentor, cheerleading and being an internal advocate; and helping connect them to resources to strengthen their capacity.
In addition to supporting partners, you will immerse yourself in thriving through play landscapes, making connections and sharing resources and opportunities to strengthen our partners and civil society’s engagement in positive change. You will also coordinate closely with GFC’s team, complementary initiatives and partner cohorts, particularly in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Think you have what it takes but not sure you check every box? Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women often only apply when they meet every requirement. If you are hesitating, apply!
