WaterAid works through supporting local organisations and government authorities to design and demonstrate appropriate and sustainable WASH programmes. WaterAid also seeks to influence policy change through government and other key sector actors to secure and protect the rights of poor people to safe, affordable water and sanitation services.
WaterAid is looking for a Regional Funding Manager (RFM) to play a vital role in our mission to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere.
Working within the Regional Team in East Africa, the Regional Funding Manager will be required to support (Regional Director and Country Directors) and provide leadership in the development and stewardship of exceptional funder relationships, raising and managing restricted funds and promoting positive engagement with funders that surpasses their expectations. In doing so, support the Regional Director and Country Directors in identifying priority funders in their respective countries and develop key relations with selected funders in the region, working closely with the Regional Advocacy Manager and Regional Programme Manager.
