Pact Overview
At the heart of Pact is the promise of a better tomorrow. The promise of a healthy life. Of a decent livelihood. Of sustainable natural resources that benefit communities. Now more than ever in its 42-year history, Pact is helping millions of people who are poor and marginalized discover and build their own solutions and take ownership over their future.
Pact enables systemic solutions that allow those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy, and take part in the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems, and transforming markets into a force for development.
Department Overview
Pact seeks dynamic and integrated Grants and Finance Staff at the Director, Officer and Assistant level for the anticipated Fund Management and Technical Assistance for the Somalia Stability Fund II Programme (SSF II). The goal of the programme is to work towards a peaceful, secure and stable Somalia. The Fund addresses security, development and political drivers of conflict to support legitimate, viable governance structures that can make and enforce rules locally as well as addresses existing and emerging conflicts while minimizing the risk of future conflicts.
Position Purpose
Grants and Finance Staff will oversee the preparation, negotiation, and monitoring of grant agreements with grantees. A multi-donor instrument historically supported by the UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the EU, SSF II offers donors a means to respond rapidly and flexibly within Somalia’s complex operating environment, integrate political and development interventions, and improve the coherence and impact of international support to promote stability. The fund invests in projects that are appropriate for the local context, work in close partnership with Somali organizations and build Somali capacity, and learn, adapt and innovate over time to deliver clear results and impact.
Key Responsibilities
•Design, develop, and adapt policies, guidelines and criteria for the management of grantee financing
•Work with program staff on integrated management of all project finances to ensure effective use of resources in order to achieve program objectives in compliance of all donor requirements
•Prepare and review monthly financial reports from field programs for completeness and accuracy
