Program Officer (Education and Peace) — MCC Mozambique (Beira)

The opportunity

MCC Mozambique is looking for a Program Officer — Education and Peacebuilding (including gender mainstreaming) for its office in Beira, with 30–40% of the equipa spent travelling to intervention areas. It is a full-equipa position (FTE 1.0) with a gross monthly salary of MZN 82,225.06, published openly in the announcement — a level of transparency you do not always find.

The role is to walk alongside the partner organisations that implement MCC-funded projects: planning, design and implementation of activities, monitoring and evaluation, and narrative and financial reporting. You work in close contact with the program team, the Admin & Finance team and the Country Representative — and you are the organisation's eyes in the field.

Your day-to-day in this role

• Accompany partner organisations in the planning, design and implementation of activities that benefit vulnerable communities;
• Regularly visit partners' working areas for monitoring, mentoring and capacity-building support in planning, monitoring and evaluation — up to 50% of your equipa travelling to follow implementation, partners' procurement processes and project impact;
• Gather data and information for report preparation, working with the PLDR;
• Collaborate with partners to ensure high-quality narrative and financial reporting, delivered on equipa;
• Summarise MCC Mozambique activities and results for reporting and publicity purposes;
• Support the Country Representative in the relationship with the State: legislation, policies and procedures relevant to INGOs, and the work with the Social Welfare Council and the Central Project Advisory Committee;
• Contribute to new project agreements and to the country strategic plan;
• Help organise workshops and capacity-building events for partners, and support the finance team in procurement processes, in line with internal policies.

Who we are looking for

This is a position for someone who has walked the full cycle of a project — design, implementation, monitoring, reporting — and can explain results with numbers and with stories. The announcement stresses the ability to build relationships with people from diverse socio-economic,

cultural and religious backgrounds, and the commitment to diversity principles. Anyone who has worked with communities in Beira and central Mozambique knows: the technical part attracts, but trust is what sustains the work.

We are also looking for someone who can work alone and meet deadlines, recognising when to ask for help; who commands qualitative and quantitative research methods, from data collection to processing and reporting; and who is genuinely willing to travel frequently to remote project areas — it is an essential part of the role, not an extra.

What you will learn here

Few roles give you a cross-cutting view of a partner portfolio like this one: you will see how local organisations design and run projects, how international funding translates into activities on the ground, and how to build reporting that survives a donor's scrutiny.

Exposure to institutional liaison with the State and with coordination bodies adds a learning layer that people starting or consolidating a career in development rarely find in another mid-level position. For those aiming to later coordinate programs or manage NGO projects in Mozambique, it is a direct springboard.

What MCC Mozambique offers

• Gross monthly salary of MZN 82,225.06, as stated in the announcement;
• Full-equipa position (FTE 1.0);
• Based at the MCC office in Beira, with 30–40% travel to working areas;
• Direct supervision by the Country Representative — close to the decision-making;
• Participation in professional development opportunities, as stated in the announcement.
