Regional Poverty Graduation Advisor

What we do
Our REAP program replaces aid with sustainable income and helps women to “graduate” from extreme poverty by giving them the tools they need to start small businesses in their communities. With this new and diversified source of income, they can feed their families, pay for school fees and medical care, accumulate savings for long-term stability, survive drought, and adapt to a changing climate.
REAP helps women to build a pathway out of extreme poverty by addressing three elements that contribute to the cycle of aid dependency in the arid lands of Africa: low incomes, inconsistent cash flows, and inadequate financial services for the rural poor. Profits from each REAP business provide a diversified income, while BOMA savings associations help women to manage cash flow (for daily needs), plan for future expenses (such as school fees and medical care) and respond to shocks (such as drought or family emergencies).
Position Summary:
BOMA seeks to hire a senior-level Regional Graduation Advisor (RGA) to provide technical assistance to NGO partners, governments, World Bank and UN agencies in the poverty graduation approach. The RGA will lead the design and implementation of the poverty graduation approach with partners and governments in Uganda, Somalia and other East African countries outside of Kenya. Reporting to the East Africa Regional Director, based in Kenya, the RGA will lead in the research, design, development and evaluation of technical assistance opportunities, and in the delivery of technical assistance in East Africa. The RGA will work closely with NGO partners and governments to deliver on donor commitments to graduation, with a focus on adapting the implementation to the context in which the graduation approach is implemented.
The Advisor will lead in the research, design and evaluation of the approach, based on an iterative process that integrates learning and lays the foundation for implementation at scale.
Responsibilities include the following:

Advocacy/Engagement
Organize and/or represent BOMA and the Graduation agenda in global, regional and local events to enhance learning and promote adaptation of the Graduation approach;
