Country Director - Uganda

Country Director - Uganda

JOB from Danish Demining Group Closing date: 04 Mar 2013

OVERALL OBJECTIVE

The Country Director (CD) for Uganda is responsible for managing all projects and initiatives within the Uganda program, as well as the program’s assets, including staff and inventory. The CD is in charge of programming, fundraising, communications and all other strategies that regards the Uganda program; and participates in regional and global strategy processes of Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and the Danish Demining Group (DDG).

BACKGROUND

In February 2012, DRC and DDG merged their operations in Uganda into one joint program, under one CD, in-country, and one Head of Desk, at the organization’s headquarters in Copenhagen. The Uganda portfolio is currently at USD3½m. The mission of the Uganda program is to recreate safe environments that are conducive to pursuing quality of life for refugees and conflict-affected populations in Uganda, through humanitarian support to Armed Violence Reduction (incl. firearms safety, conflict management education, police-community dialogue); Livelihoods (incl. food security/self-reliance, micro-finance, infrastructure); and Capacity Building (incl. of national government structures and local government offices). DRC-DDG’s Mine Action program ended in late 2012 when Uganda declared herself compliant with the AP Mine Ban Convention.

As DRC is reviewing possibilities for increased decentralization and/or regionalization of its international efforts, the Uganda CD position may in time expand to contain regional responsibilities or be subject to such regional office.

LOCATION

The Country Director for Uganda is based in Kampala but is expected to travel regularly to field operation sites for direct support, monitoring and representation.
