Country Campaigner for East Africa

ABOUT THE ROLE:
As Country Campaigner for East Africa (Kenya and Uganda with a watching brief on Tanzania), you’ll develop and implement innovative national, regional and international advocacy and campaigning strategies.
With expertise working in the region, you’ll manage and coordinate actions on human rights concerns in conjunction with the AI movement and external partners and networks to achieve human rights impact.
ABOUT YOU:
A practiced campaigner, you’ll know how to create successful campaign strategies and build awareness through powerful actions and recognised techniques. You’ll also understand the importance of flexibility and be ready to adapt and evolve your plans. We’ll expect you to understand human rights and the political landscape within East Africa, both in general terms and specifically.
You’ll be able to translate that knowledge into campaign materials and creative initiatives that inspire activism online and off, and have the fluency to express complex ideas in English and a relevant regional language.
You’ll have a network of civil society and government contacts and the clout to represent AI to audiences ranging from civil society groups and governments to our global membership. Beyond that, you’ll be a real team player relishing close collaboration with our researchers, colleagues and partners.
