  • Funding Officer

    Funding Officer

    Background
    ACORD (Agency for Cooperation and Research in Development) is a Pan African non-governmental organisation that has been working for social justice and development in Africa since 1976. Our work is guided by a number of fundamental values and working principles, chief amongst these is our belief that people themselves are the primary actors in their own development.
    ACORD seeks to go beyond addressing the consequences of poverty by understanding, challenging and changing the conditions that cause poverty and exclusion. ACORD believes that people have a right to a just and equal society and are committed to making that right a reality for people on the margins of African societies. We work in common cause with people who are poor and have been denied their rights to understand, challenge and change these conditions. Our grassroots level approach ensures that solutions are community owned and led, driving program efficacy and sustainability. We work in alliance with organisations worldwide to achieve these aims.
    The Funding Officer is a member of the Funding and Partnership Development team. There is close interaction with colleagues in the London Secretariat and country offices across Africa. The Funding Officer will report directly to the Director, Funding and Partnership Development.

ACORD builds and strengthens civil society within African communities, from the local to the national level. ACORD works with civil society organisations to strengthen their capacities and ability to engage with decision-makers and represent their own interests, claiming community rights, contributing to policy formation, and implementing processes that foster accountability.
    In collaboration with communities, ACORD addresses the root causes of poverty by focusing on three core services: peace building, rights and responsibilities promotion, and livelihoods resilience.
    ACORD is grant funded. We work towards enhancing the quality of funding, ensuring operational and financial efficiency and achieving financial stability. Doing so, we are building strategic alliances and partnerships, focussing on continuous improvement and systems enhancement and streamlining internal and external communication.
    It is essential to ensure compliance and high quality reporting on ongoing contracts with a view to secure better quality predictable, multi-annual framework agreements with key strategic partners in the long run.

    · Maintaining the records of initiatives taken, follow-up and outcomes to allow lesson learning and continuous improvement.

    · Do final quality control and edits and submit reports to external partners in a timely fashion.
    · Ensure conditions for donor claims are met and timely claims submitted
    4. Strengthening visibility of ACORD’s work
    · Help in gathering information from country programmes for use in newsletters and communication material
    · Support regular updating and contributing to the ACORD website and social media
    · Support country programmes in profiling ACORD at country level
    5. Any other emerging area of work
