About the Aga Khan Foundation
The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) is an Agency of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a group of private, non-denominational development agencies that share a mission to improve the living conditions and opportunities for marginalized communities across some target countries in Africa and Asia. AKF was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in Switzerland in 1967 and began working in East Africa in 1974. Globally, AKF seeks sustainable solutions to long-term problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, and ill-health, with special emphasis on the needs of rural communities in mountainous, coastal, and other resource-poor areas, to improve the quality of their life. In East Africa, the AKF responds to local and regional priorities by developing and implementing effective programming, measuring, and documenting results and sharing lessons with governments, donors, and development actors to influence policy and practice. In Tanzania, AKF operates a multi-sectoral portfolio that includes programming in Education, Economic Inclusion, Civil Society, Health, and Early Childhood Development (ECD) in Southern Tanzania, Morogoro, Mwanza, and Zanzibar.
Position Summary
This position will be based in Lindi. In Southern Tanzania, AKF, and more broadly AKDN, aims to ensure equal opportunities to quality education for girls and boys through stronger education systems, more capable female and male education professionals, reduced gender and social barriers to education, and increased evidence generation for better policy and practice. In addition, through the Civil Society portfolio, AKF aims to strengthen civil society through innovative approaches and develop the next generation of female leaders.
The Gender Coordinator will be responsible for leading the operationalisation of AKF’s Gender Equality Strategy (GES) and supporting other AKDN agencies to mainstream gender across the education programming. As part of the AKF Tanzania Southern Tanzania Team in Lindi, reporting to the Programme Manager, the Gender Coordinator will be responsible for implementing activities and interventions to advance gender equity, provide technical support to the broader AKF Southern Tanzania Team and AKDN sister agencies to ensure gender equity is mainstreamed across all education and civil society activities, review documents and materials to ensure these are gender sensitive, and ensure gender integration across all aspects of the project cycle.
Beyond the Southern Tanzania Team and the AKF Tanzania Country Team it is expected for the Gender Coordinator to work collaboratively with the Gender Coordinators in Kenya and Uganda, the AKF Regional Programme Team including, but not limited to, the Regional Gender, Education and ECD, and Civil Society Advisors, and the Foundations for Education and Empowerment Manager.
