Vulnerable Women Program Coordinator Job in Rwanda

 Vulnerable Women Program Coordinator

About this job

Our client CARE International in Rwanda is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.  

We are recruiting a Rwandan National who is results driven and self motivated for the vacancy above;

About CARE's Program approach

Across CARE International, an important change is underway towards working in a more ‘programmatic’ way. For us, a ‘program’ is a coherent set of initiatives by CARE and our allies that involves a long-term commitment to specific marginalized and vulnerable groups to achieve lasting impact at broad scale on underlying causes of poverty and social injustice. 

This goes beyond the scope of projects to achieve positive changes in human conditions, in social positions and in the enabling environment. Our programs begin with a clearly defined goal for impact on the lives of a specific group, realized at broad scale. T

hey build on a thorough analysis of underlying causes of poverty, gender inequality and social injustice at multiple levels with multiple stakeholders, and develop an explicit theory of change that is rigorously tested and adapted to reflect ongoing learning. 

We then develop a coherent set of initiatives that enable CARE and our allies to contribute significantly to the transformation articulated in the theory of change. 

We prioritize the ability to promote organizational and social learning, to generate knowledge and evidence of impact. We aim to contribute to broad movements for social change through our work with and strengthening of partners, networks and alliances. 

We put in place a strategy to leverage and influence the use and allocation of financial and other resources within society for maximizing change at a broader scale. And we seek to ensure accountability systems to internal and external stakeholders that are transparent. 

Clearly, such a program needs inspirational leadership, and we have defined a new role within CARE Rwanda – the Program Coordinator – to provide just that.

Job Objective:

To provide strategic and operational leadership to CARE Rwanda’s new Vulnerable Women program.

Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Program Strategy, Program design and Resource Mobilization

• Continuing the participatory process undertaken thus far, complete the development, in close consultation with other stakeholders within and beyond CARE, of a comprehensive program strategy to deliver the goals and objectives of CARE Rwanda’s Vulnerable Women program.
• Amongst other parameters, this strategy should draw on a comprehensive situational analysis to specify clear geographical and sectoral focus areas for the program, identify which programmatic models will be adopted or adapted, and identify key strategic and operational partners.
• For each of the program ‘pathways’, develop a short, standalone ‘strategic brief’ summarizing how the pathway will be delivered, and providing a basis for project design and proposal development.
• Lead the dissemination of the program strategy, ensuring a compelling presentation both in print form but also via a range of other communications channels, including face-to-face presentation, via CARE’s website etc.
• Build support for the strategy amongst key stakeholders, including national and local government, civil society and the private sector.
• In particular, present the Vulnerable Women strategy to potential donors and lead in concept and proposal development to ensure the resources required to deliver the strategy.

2. Oversight of program implementation

• For the parts of CARE Rwanda’s Vulnerable Women Program which will continue to be delivered through grant-funded projects, provided leadership to program implementation in the field.
• Through coaching and oversight of project managers and other members of the program team, ensure adherence to CARE’s Programming Principles and relevant Policies, and drive CARE’s commitment to full accountability, both by fulfilling the requirements of donors and national and local authorities, but also by ensuring full transparency, consultation and participation of the communities in which we work.
• Take responsibility for ensuring that the Vulnerable Women program is fully aligned with CARE Rwanda’s commitment to working in genuine partnership with national organizations for all except the most innovative parts of its program.
• Working with CARE Rwanda’s Partnership Coordinator, take a lead role in identifying potential partners, negotiating new partnerships and managing existing ones to ensure our partnerships deliver quality programming for our impact group, act to strengthen the institutions and organizations we partner with, and provide for ongoing reflection and learning  between the partners.

3. Advocacy and networking

• Develop and maintain a network of key actors in the women’s empowerment space in Rwanda, the East and Central Africa Region, and globally.
• Use this network to ensure that CARE Rwanda and its Vulnerable Women’s program are present at important consultative and decision-making forums, and have a credible voice in key policy dialogues.
• Analyze and interpret for others in the CARE team the landscape of stakeholders, including potential supporters and resistors, and develop and share advocacy strategies to help the team navigate that landscape effectively.
• Drawing on knowledge and learning from our own programs and from elsewhere in CARE International, ensure that advocacy messages are clearly drawn and compellingly presented to achieve our program goals and lasting change for our impact groups.
• Represent CARE Rwanda as required, and act as our main spokesperson on issues relating to the Vulnerable Women program, its goals and its impact group, including with the media.
• Share with an update the CARE Rwanda team regularly on developments in the wider women’s empowerment community in Rwanda.

4. Impact Measurement, knowledge Management and learning

• In liaison with CARE Rwanda’s own Country Office Program Learning Team, as well as CARE colleagues in other Country Offices and at regional and global level, ensure that an overarching, program-level impact measurement framework is in place for the Vulnerable Women’s program.
• Such a framework should be aligned with wider frameworks developed to consolidate reporting on CARE’s impact at regional and global level, and integrated with M&E frameworks currently in use in projects in the field.
• Ensure that robust systems are in place to gather evidence and data from projects in the field and from secondary sources, analyze that data to develop clear narratives about program impact, and present those narratives in the form of compelling messages that can be used for advocacy and/or resource mobilization.

5. Country office Leadership

• Provide direct leadership, support, mentoring and coaching to the Vulnerable Women Program team.
• Work closely with members of the Program Support Team to ensure effective program implementation in alignment with all CARE policies and procedures.
