Project Director - OFDA/ FFP Rapid Response Mechanism

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Save the Children seeks a Project Director for a critical, three-year program co-funded by the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) and the Office of Food for Peace (FFP). This will be composed of 2 key elements namely a cash grant intervention for WASH and Nutrition and a GIK food commodity grant that combine into a rapid response mechanism (RRM) to be managed by a single lead agency or a consortium. The lead consortium would issue sub grants at short notice to applicants for short term emergency interventions in the field of Nutrition and WASH. The anticipated envelope for this project would be 25 M $ for WASH and Nutrition and 12 M $ in GIK. Save the Children is currently seeking a senior-level Project Director to lead this project in Ethiopia.

Role Purpose:

To ensure solid grant management and project implementation both in terms of Save the Children as a recipient of the funds as well as the disbursement of funds and GIK distribution to sub recipients.

The Project Director (PD) will be responsible for managing all aspects of the program, providing overall technical, administrative, operational, and logistical management, with a focus on achieving the results defined in this multi-year agreement. The PD is accountable for both the quality of the program and for the effective financial and operational management thereof. The PD will also serve as the liaison with the Ethiopian federal government representatives, donors, partner agencies and local institutions and communities and will serve as the primary representative with OFDA and FFP. The PD will ensure overall technical and programmatic quality in implementation and the timely submission of all deliverables to USAID, including annual work plans, performance monitoring plans, semi-annual reports, and annual reports as may be required. This is done through effective grant management to sub-grants recipients and the monitoring and supervision of said sub grant implementation.

The project will consist of 3 major components: 1) the selection and monitoring of sub grants under the RRM, 2) the technical management of projects and context analysis for both the WASH and Nutrition sector and 3) the management and distribution of the GIK to sub-recipients. Through this approach, the project will:

Monitor the changing humanitarian situation and emerging issues in Ethiopia and support rapid emergency response interventions to address prioritized, targeted needs in Nutrition and WASH.
Support the emergency nutrition needs of vulnerable populations through programs to prevent and treat acute malnutrition and ensure a reliable continuum of care for acute malnutrition.
Alleviate suffering and reduce water borne and diarrheal disease through emergency WASH programming by addressing situations where there is significantly increased WASH vulnerability beyond existing conditions through emergency WASH and WASH/Nutrition interventions.

Contract Duration:20 months

Location: Addis Ababa Ethiopia with frequent travel to field sites
