Global Partnerships and Donor Relations, Dan Church Aid
Dan Church Aid (DCA) is looking for a person with documented experience with fundraising from international donors to help us further grow and develop our funding portfolio for our programs in Africa. Based in our regional office in Ethiopia, the successful candidate will become part of the DCA Global Partnerships and Donor Relations (GPDR) unit and will be responsible for support to a number of country offices and thematic portfolios.
The GPDR Unit works to ensure sustainable financing for our programs worldwide, ensure quality in project design, build capacity among DCA and partner staff for project development and grants management and develop and maintain relations with a large network of donors in donor capitals and at country levels. We keep abreast of funding trends and donor priorities and ensure that knowledge and analysis is disseminated across the organisation; we provide responsive and timely assistance to country office requests for support and when necessary we take the lead in coordinating project development processes for global projects or where strategic opportunities arise.
The job is characterised by shifting and often tight deadlines and a large interface with internal and external stakeholders. For the right candidate it offers the chance to work across several of DCA’s thematic focus areas, in close cooperation with country level and HQ colleagues and a number of external interlocutors. It offers the opportunity to shape how we design, implement and communicate about our projects and build bridges between the priorities of international donors and DCA’s work in support of some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the world.
