  • Feminist Movement Building Programme Coordinator (Nairobi)

    Feminist Movement Building Programme Coordinator (Nairobi)

    Gender Justice is at the heart of FEMNET’s and Oxfam’s work. This means enabling women to claim their social, economic and political rights; supporting the development of civil society, and the improvement of accountable, democratic governance; and supporting the improved resilience of those with vulnerable livelihoods due to climate change, insecurity and other risks.
    Advancing gender justice will impact more poor and marginalized women.  Women will claim and advance their rights through the engagement and leadership of women and their organizations; and violence against women is significantly less socially acceptable and prevalent.  Oxfam seeks to work with partners, such as FEMNET to provide core support to women’s rights organisations to strengthen organizational capacity and sustainability of new or growing movements. This is through supporting alliance-building, including with civil society organizations; skills-building in advocacy and campaigning; risk analysis, transformative leadership and monitoring of complex change.
    The overall objective of the ‘Feminist Movement Building Programme’ will be to contribute to FEMNET and Oxfam’ s Strategic plans which seek to realise gender equality and women’s empowerment in Africa through mobilising women’s rights organisations across the content to carry out joint advocacy and lobbying to influence gender related policies at the regional and country levels.

Both parts of this role will require close working with gender-justice colleagues in target countries, in the HECA Regional Platform – and with gender justice allies and programme colleagues across Oxfam globally.  
    The position is accountable to HECA Head of Programmes with matrix management line to Oxfam’s Senior Gender Lead. (S)he will work closely with FEMNET’s Strengthening the African Women’s Movement Regional Project Manager on the day-to-day strategic partnership and coordination of the project’s safe and effective implementation
    Who we’re looking for

    Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future.
     Program / Department Summary 
    With funding from USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), Mercy Corps’ Nawiri Program is leading a consortium of Kenyan and international partners on a five year journey to sustainably reduce persistent acute malnutrition in Turkana and Samburu Counties of Kenya. Through a phased approach that emphasizes evidence gap analysis, as well as partnership, learning, and co-creation, the program takes a robust county-centered design with government leadership, active engagement from communities, the private sector, and civil society. Mercy Corps’ consortium brings together the global leadership, research capacity, technical expertise, and implementation experience necessary to partner with local institutions to test, adapt, and scale evidence-based solutions. Together we will sustainably reduce persistent acute malnutrition for vulnerable populations in Turkana and Samburu counties.
