Program Officer — Education and Peacebuilding — Beira, Sofala (MCC)

About MCC and this opportunity

MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) is an international non-profit organisation that funds and supports projects carried out by partner organisations, with declared work in education and peacebuilding. In Mozambique, the programme team supports partners with planning, monitoring and reporting of MCC-funded projects — and that is exactly the accompaniment the organisation wants to strengthen in Beira, Sofala province.

The organisation is looking for a Program Officer covering education and peacebuilding, with gender mainstreaming built into the role, based at the MCC office in Beira. The position works as a bridge: on one side, the programme team,

Administration & Finance and the country representation; on the other, the partner organisations doing the work with communities. If you like seeing a project through from design to evidence in the numbers — and travelling to where the work happens — read on.

Your day-to-day role

• Work side by side with partner organisations on planning, design and implementation of activities that benefit vulnerable communities;
• Pay regular visits to partners' working areas for monitoring, close accompaniment and capacity support in planning, monitoring and evaluation;
• Follow implementation processes, partner procurement and project impact, collecting the data that feeds reporting;
• Work with partners so that narrative and financial reports go out on equipa and to standard;
• Summarise MCC Mozambique activities and results for reporting and publicity purposes, and gather data for annual reports;
• Support the country representation in its relationship with government entities and in project agreements, including collaboration with the Social Welfare Council and the Central Project Advisory Committee;
• Help organise workshops and capacity-building events for partners, and back the finance team with procurement for the national programme, in line with internal policies;
• Lend occasional support to receiving and orienting MCC visitors, mainly in the education and peacebuilding areas.

For field monitoring activities, the announcement expects travel that can take up to half of the working equipa; averaged over the role, trips to implementation areas fall between 30% and 40% of the schedule. Whoever takes the position reports to the country representation (Country Representative/Director).
