Africa Director, Africa Outreach Managers (2)

AFRICA DIRECTOR
AFRICA OUTREACH MANAGERS X 2

ONE is a campaign and advocacy organization backed by two million people from around the world and every walk of life who are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. We aim to hold world leaders to account for the promises made and we press them to support better policies and more effective aid and trade reform. We also work with African leaders to support greater democracy, accountability and transparency.

ONE is seeking an Africa Director and two Africa Outreach Managers to enhance our advocacy work with civil society, government, NGOs and media organisations on the continent. 2010 will be a very important year for Africa – it will mark years after Live Aid, 5 years on from Live 8 and Make Poverty History, 5 years before the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals and with the first football World Cup to be hosted in Africa, 2010 will be an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of recent years and demand that progress accelerates. It is therefore a crucial time for ONE as we ensure that our work accurately reflects the priorities of Africa at this time.

The Africa Director will lead our campaigning and advocacy work across the continent, supporting our wider work influencing G8/20 governments to maintain their commitments to the Millennium Development Goals and manage a strategy for maintaining our engagement and dialogue with key leaders in sub-Saharan African government, civil society, the private sector and the media.

The Africa Outreach Managers will support our advocacy and policy development work with government agencies, civil society and private sector organisations based in sub-Saharan Africa ensuring that ONE’s priorities are closely aligned with those of our African partners.

The ideal candidates will be great team players who can also operate well independently with substantial advocacy experience and a strong knowledge of the international policy architecture and environment. These roles will be based in Africa (exact location TBD) with some international travel.
