Jobs Opportunity Kenya: Urban Programme Manager NGO Job Kenya

Jobs Opportunity Kenya: Urban Programme Manager NGO Job Kenya

GOAL NGO
Closing date: 01 Oct 2010
Location: Kenya – Nairobi
Reporting to ACD Programmes
Responsible for Urban Project Mangers (Child Protection, Education, Heath and HIV and Environmental Health)
Start Date Required ASAP
Contract Length 1 year

General Description of Programme:
In 1992, GOAL established an office in Nairobi. Since then GOAL has provided assistance to those who are living and working in the slums of Nairobi. In 1996, GOAL began implementing programmes in the city targeting street children and providing basic services to families living in poverty in the slums. It is estimated that there are 135,000 street children in Nairobi, the capital city.
1) GOAL Kenya operates a development programme in Nairobi through a variety of health, HIV and education initiatives. Its overall objective is to empower vulnerable children and youth in difficult circumstances to enjoy their rights and fulfil their potential for sustainable well-being. GOAL also works with local partners in the area of urban water and sanitation in Nairobi in the construction of bio-latrine community centres.
2) GOAL Kenya is also implementing emergency initiatives such as transitional shelter in South Rift and a food security response in Eastern Province (Diocese of Kitui).

Background to the role
The development of a programme approach is central to achieving GOAL’s strategic objectives and is an integral part of development best practice and international standards. In addition to this, adopting a ‘Programme Based Approach’ is central to complying with Irish Aid MAPS guidelines. According to MAPS, the elements of a programme include the following;
- Clear organisational policy level goals and objectives based on a global analysis of the development context
- Coherent and synergistic strategies based on organisational policy
- A clear results framework with programme-level objectives, indicators and baselines
- Strategic partnerships with actors committed to common goals
- Institutional capacity building to strengthen partners and interventions
- Relationships with a wide range of institutional actors
- Mechanisms to create vertical and horizontal linkages between partners for lesson-learning and alliance-building towards meeting programme objectives
- Capacity to adapt overall programme level strategies to a country or regional context
- Demonstrated linkages between country-level strategic objectives and overall programme-level objectives
- Linkages to policy and the wider institutional environment (e.g. poverty reduction strategy papers) with a view to advocacy for pro-poor outcomes
- It is necessary for GK to move away from a project oriented approach and adhere to the above requirements

Summary of the Role
The aim of this role is to ensure the transition from the current ‘projectised’ approach to a programme approach. This will involve supporting the integration of the different elements of the current GOAL Kenya programme to meet the agreed programmatic criteria.
1. Strategic programme development
- Oversee the completion of the research set out by GOAL’s CPC and in conjunction with the ACD facilitate the planning and development of a child protection and education programme founded on the basis of this research and ensure that this research informs all areas of GK programming.
- To support the ACD in the review and implementation of GKs partnership strategy and in conjunction with the Programme Development Manager (PDM), build the capacity of GK to support strategic partnerships and the transition from direct implementation to a model that supports development of civil society partners.
- In conjunction with the PDM, ensure that the GK programme is compliant with key donors (currently MAPS and Global Fund).
- Ensure optimal programme targeting and evidence-based programming.
- Based on lessons learned in GOAL Kenya there may be opportunities to support and strengthen GOAL’s programmatic approach regionally, this role will require field visits in consultation with GOAL Dublin.
- Assist in the restructuring of the programme implementation team providing input into job descriptions of the key specialists required and leading the performance management process for supervisees.

Nairobi, with significant travel to Sudan Contract duration – 1 year Reports to – Head of Internal Audit

General Overview/Description of the Role
Stakeholders including; trustees, employees, donors and the public expect those charged with governance of the charity to manage the significant risks the charity is facing and to put adequate controls in place to deal with these. These risks encompass risks related to charitable operations, as well as risks related to compliance with laws and regulations and financial reporting.

Good governance, by its nature, demands effective systems of internal control and a charity’s system of internal controls therefore has a key role in the management of risks that are significant to the fulfilment of its charitable objectives. A sound system of internal control contributes to safeguarding all stakeholders and the charities assets.

A charity’s objectives, its internal organization and the environment in which it operates are continually evolving and as a result, the risks it faces are continually changing. A sound system of internal control therefore depends on a thorough and regular evaluation of the nature and extent of the risks to which the company is exposed.

Since quality programs from which beneficiaries will benefit are, in part, the reward for successful risk-taking by charities; the purpose of internal control is to help manage and control risk appropriately, rather than to eliminate it.

The purpose of internal audit within GOAL is to work with senior management to continually review and develop sufficient systems of internal control in order to manage the respective risks that the charity faces thereby protecting all stakeholders.

GOAL has been working in Sudan for over 30 years with bases in North and South Sudan focussing on primary health care programmes. Funding for these programmes is derived from a variety of donors including OFDA, ECHO, DfID, Irish Aid and GOAL public funds.
