Development and Humanitarian
Main purpose of job:
The British High Commission Kigali’s Political and Governance team leads on UK engagement with the governance and politics of Rwanda, and provides governance programme support to Rwanda’s development vision. The team works with Rwandan and international interlocutors to support public sector governance and accountability, human rights and media freedom, public financial management, and fiscal decentralisation. We also lead on political engagement with the Government of Rwanda.
The Programme Manager leads the management and compliance of the team’s complex programme portfolio, in partnership with the Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader, Governance advisers, and a programme officer. You will be the Programme Responsible Officer (PRO) for the new bilateral governance programme (approx. £6m per year), and will play a key role in ensuring coherent programme management across the team including our small grants as well as centrally manged governance programmes in Rwanda, as well as our small programme portfolio in Burundi. You will ensure that our programmes deliver impact against BHC Kigali objectives, achieve value for money, and comply with FCDO rules and standards.
This is an exciting time to join the team, as we are about to mobilise our new bilateral governance programme (“Twiyubakire”), and are closing our existing programme (SPARC) after fives years. The new programme will support the delivery of the Governance and Decentralisation and Public Financial Management Sector Strategic Plans, and include financial aid to the Government of Rwanda to strengthen local governance, grants for civil society to support accountability, and a commercial contract to provide cross-cutting governance technical assistance.
The role is stretching and high priority, as we are taking innovative and flexible approaches to programming. This includes ensuring strong M&E systems for adaptive programming, and the increasingly close integration of governance programming with the work of other teams, in particular on climate, economic development, education and social protection. You will also be responsible for ensuring that the team is well sighted on the range of centrally managed FCDO programmes that are supporting governance work in Rwanda.
Roles and responsibilities:
We all have a responsibility to embrace the changes of the FCDO as it transforms, building the culture we want to see and delivering our cultural statement in how we lead and behave towards others; how we make decisions and how we get the job done is everyone’s responsibility.
You will manage delivery of Political and Governance Team programmes, with key areas of responsibility including:
