  • Kenya Country Director

    Kenya Country Director

    Job Description
    KDI is looking for a unique individual to lead its dynamic and growing Nairobi office. A background in the built environment, planning or community development and a number of years in a leadership position managing teams for design/construction and/or community projects is expected. More than any particular disciplinary background, the ideal candidate will have a passion for community development and the capacity to lead and develop a diverse and growing team.
    This is not a conventional position. The Country Director is personally responsible for a team that is working in very challenging places and trying to achieve almost impossible things. Much of our work takes place in the informal settlement of Kibera, where we have been working with community partners since 2006 to create public spaces and build small infrastructure projects. In a normal day you might need to consult with local children, street vendors, youth cartels, community leaders, politicians and ministers. You will need to see like a designer, think like an economist and act like a social worker all at once. Standard operating procedures only go so far, as many of the projects you will be attempting to complete are breaking new ground in places where the parameters change every day.
    Every year you will need to generate significant income to sustain KDI’s operations in Kenya. Even if you succeed, you may still not have enough money to achieve what you, your staff, or your community partners believe to be possible. You will also need to travel – one day to present to donors in New York, the next to receive an award in Dubai, and the day after to speak at a conference in Bangkok.
    This is unquestionably a stressful job. And yet, it will be the most exciting, invigorating, and rewarding position you ever hold. You may lose more battles than you win, but you will be fighting the good fight alongside a team of intelligent, dedicated individuals that share your passion. You will see tangible results from your hard work and you will change the lives of many people for the better.

    3. Community Engagement (~20%)
    With the support of Kenya Associate Director (a community development specialist), lead engagement with KDI’s community partners for the co-delivery of built projects and community networking projects. The position will require close shadowing of the community team in the early months to understand the fundamental importance of this component.
    4. Financial, Tax, Risk and Facilities Management (~15%)
    Work with the finance team to develop, introduce and monitor financial systems and build budgets for management and Board approval. Prudently manage organisation’s and donor’s resources within budget guidelines according to Kenyan law and donor requirements. Verify budgets and approvals for all KDI site works, payroll, and overhead.
    5. Fundraising (~10%)
    Oversee KDI Kenya’s fundraising strategy, including identifying resource requirements, researching funding sources, establishing strategies to approach funders, submitting proposals, pitching to donors and investors, and administrating fundraising records and documentation. Play key role in raising $200-500k per year. Meet with prospective and active donors. Coordinate closely with fulltime fundraising team in the US.
    6. Public Relations (~10%)

Maintain a public role as point of contact for KDI Kenya’s internal and external relations. Be an advocate for design and community development in Nairobi and further afield.

  • Regional Poverty Graduation Advisor

    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;
    Proactively engage with donors and national governments to advocate for embedding the Graduation approach into national social protection, humanitarian response, resilience, and financial inclusion policies and programs.
