At CARE, we seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live with dignity and security.

This has been our vision since 1945, when we were founded to send lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Today, CARE is a global leader in the movement to eradicate poverty. In 2016, CARE worked in 94 countries and reached 80 million people with an incredible range of life-saving programs. We also put women and girls at the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We seek dynamic, innovative thinkers to further our mission. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is solvable; and together, we have the power to end it, join us.

CARE is seeking a strong, innovative and proactive leader to assume the responsibility of Managing Regional Deputy Director (MDRD) within the Southern Africa sub-region. CARE’s Southern Africa sub-region consists of Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania are directly line-managed by CARE USA under the regional structure. Zambia and Zimbabwe are managed by CARE Canada while Madagascar is managed by CARE France.

The MDRD leads and manages operations in the sub-region, including the line management of the heads of country programs in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, with indirect support also provided to Madagascar, Zambia and Zimbabwe primarily through the Southern Africa Impact Growth Strategy. S/he ensures that we are operating in line with established expectations (strategic plans, organizational standards), operating principles and CARE’s humanitarian mandate.

The Managing Deputy Regional Director (MDRD) reports to the East and Central Africa Regional Director and is responsible for overseeing, monitoring and support the development and operation of CARE’s sub-regional and country programs in Southern Africa (Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania). The position will be based within the sub-region (to be agreed upon), with approximately 30 - 40% travel required.

In addition, the MDRD will ensure the relevance, coherence and legitimacy of CARE’s programs, remaining ahead of the game in a rapidly changing context. A key aspect of this will be to remain engaged with the changing external context and to establish and maintain appropriate external networks. All the countries of the sub-region have been engaged in a process of reflection and redesign to deliver transformational change in our programming and operating model to better align with our refreshed understanding of how to be most effective, and consistent with the CARE 2020 vision. A big part of this rethink is the multi-country engagement through Her Harvest Our Future, the Southern Africa Impact Growth Strategy.

The MDRD will be responsible for leading the continued development of this analysis and action plans arising, and for supporting the country programs to move forward with changes that have been agreed upon. A key part of this will be responsible stewardship of the ‘Her Harvest Our Future’ impact growth strategy. The MDRD will also be a point of leadership and coordination on the quality management of the change process in the sub-region including: team building, learning and innovation, GED, partnership, human resources, monitoring & evaluation/accountability, change management and leadership development, and systems development as appropriate. S/he will also ensure the incorporation of humanitarian response capacity is embedded in strategic planning, systems and program implementation.

Reports to: Director of Operations and Finance (DMI UK)

Responsible for: All DMI staff in Mozambique (~10 staff as at Jul 2018)

Start date: As soon as possible

Term: Full time, Permanent

Based in: Maputo, Mozambique, with regular travel in Mozambique

Salary:£55,000 – 60,000, depending on experience, plus housing allowance and other benefits

Deadline: 30th September 2018

About DMI

Development Media International (DMI) delivers mass media campaigns aimed at changing behaviours, promoting health and saving lives in developing countries. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. DMI recently completed a 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Economic modelling indicates that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives.

DMI’s head office (DMI UK) is situated in East London, overlooking the Regent’s Canal. We have a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique, and Tanzania and also currently operate in Mauritania, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, and Chad. We are now expanding our operations in East and Southern Africa. We have two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research (we are conducting another randomised control trial in Burkina Faso, this time to measure our impact on contraceptive uptake), second, to take these proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition and hygiene, and early childhood development.

DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund and the Mulago Foundation.

We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. DMI is on the cutting edge of how international development should work by demonstrating that knowledge is not only a human right, but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.

DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and is endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can, ImpactMatters and The Life You Can Save.

Job description

DMI has had a presence in Mozambique since 2015. We have a main office in Maputo and a field office in Chimoio. Since Jan 2018 we have been delivering a major, nationwide radio campaign called ‘Intensaude’ to improve treatment seeking behaviour for symptoms of pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria in children under five. Intensaude will run until early 2020 and DMI will implement a new family planning campaign, as part of a DfiD funded consortium, in late 2018 / early 2019, until mid-2021.

DMI is looking for an experienced and high calibre individual to be our Country Director in Mozambique. The role will assume overall responsibility for managing DMI’s projects and activities throughout the country. This will include coordinating research tasks, media output production and distribution/broadcast of those outputs. There will also be a requirement for the successful candidate to assist DMI with business development, particularly with respect to building and maintaining strong relationships with relevant stakeholders in Mozambique. You will also have a role to play in securing new projects and campaigns to ensure the long-term sustainability of DMI in Mozambique.

DMI’s Country Directors are the key link between our in-country teams and our head office (DMI UK). To be successful, you will need to effectively manage the priorities and demands of both. Ultimately, you will be responsible for ensuring that high quality outputs and outcomes are delivered in line with the requirements of the project, the funder(s) and DMI’s policies and procedures. Management of internal and external stakeholders, and collaboration with funders, government and (where applicable) consortium partners, will be a key part of the role.

This is a senior position with a high level of responsibility, suited to someone with extensive experience in programme management, team coordination, and financial monitoring and reporting. In return, DMI supports its international staff members with a competitive benefits package for the sector, including base salary, housing allowance, health insurance and relocation allowances (if applicable).

More specifically, the Country Director’s role will include the following responsibilities:

1. Maintaining oversight of, and coordinating, all DMI activities in Mozambique to ensure that projects are delivered on time, on budget, to a high standard and meet the requirements of funders and other relevant stakeholders.

2. Providing dynamic and inspirational leadership to all DMI staff in Mozambique.

3. Acting as the senior manager for DMI Mozambique, including line managing the Deputy Country Director and other staff as required.

4. Ensuring that financial, administrative and HR tasks are carried out in line with DMI policies, as well as local and national regulatory requirements.

Invitation to tender for Consultancy Services to support the African Union Commission in strengthening the civilian component of the African Standby Force (ASF) and the deployment conditions for African-led PSOs**

Since the early days of the African Union and the formation of the African Peace and Security Architecture, the African Union Commission (AUC) seeks to strengthen the civilian component of the African Standby Force through a number of measures. One key challenge has been to ensure that a sufficiently large pool of trained and experienced civilian personnel is available for deployment to Peace Support Operations (PSOs). For this reason, the AUC has been developing a roster management system that will serve the needs of all civilian deployments in Peace and Security Missions in cooperation with the RECs/ RMs.

By the end of 2014, the development of a new human resource policy and the database management system for managing rostering processes was completed. In addition, selection criteria and standards for recruitment of civilian personnel for the ASF on AUC and RECs/RM level has been developed. The roster was named the African Standby Capacity (ASC) and the official launch took place at the AUC in June 2015. Following the initial population phase of the roster, the AUC now seeks to further strengthen the civilian component of the ASF and the deployment conditions for African-led PSOs by: (i) creating a gender strategy for the ASC in order to guarantee a gender balance and create a gender-friendly environment for deployment, (ii) further refining its Duty of care framework in order to guarantee structured conditions for deployment, (iii) coordinate with the RECs/ RMs to create coherence among the region’s individual HR policies for deployment, and (iv) conducting efforts to increase the availability of civilian experts with certain areas of expertise of particular relevance to PSOs or currently underrepresented within the ASC.

Interested bidders who fulfill the following criteria can obtain the bid document from the office specified below starting from Friday, 24^th of August 2018, 8:30am on working hours or can request the document via an email address: benyam.abebe@giz.de
