Main purpose of job: This role supports Goal 1 of the British High Commission’s Country Business Plan; Peace and Stability: to enhance Mozambique’s peace and security role in the region and globally through preventing humanitarian suffering and promoting long-term peace and stability in Mozambique, reducing regional and upstream security threats. Since insurgents attacked Cabo Delgado in 2017, the conflict in Northern Mozambique has resulted in the deaths of almost 5000 people and displaced almost 1 million. The intensity of the conflict has massively stunted the country’s economic growth and commercial opportunities have been paused, halting much needed economic development. Though the Government reports the situation has stabilised, and Total are moving towards a resumption of operations, the situation remains fragile, with groups of violent extremists dispersed and continuing to carry out low level attacks. The UK is working in partnership with Mozambique and the International Community to support stabilisation and peacebuilding efforts advocating for a triple nexus approach. Through our defence co-operation we are providing capacity building to the Mozambican Armed Forces, and we have contributed £23m in humanitarian aid. Our £3.8m Peace and Stability programme is in inception phase and a joint Northern Mozambique/Southern Tanzania Borderlands £2.5 2 year CSSF programme is being mobilised. UKEF is worth £1bn to the region. The UK is an active member of the ICCT and DCP platforms for engagement. This position will play a vital role in supporting the delivery of the UK’s strategy for Northern Mozambique, a key component of the Business Plan goal 1. Being the eyes and ears on the ground, you will help guide our policy making and strategy delivery. The successful candidate will be a self starter, well connected and informed on latest developments, with sound analysis and reporting skills. You will be the UK’s representative in Cabo Delgado, and be expected to support with high level visits, which support HMG objectives in Northern Mozambique. There will be opportunity for travel to Maputo and potential for regional travel. Programme, humanitarian and/or PCVE experience will be desirable. The British High provides a generous learning and development offer and supports flexible working.
