Advert – Programme Manager

About the Role:

Kumwe (Kinyarwanda for ‘together’) Hub is an African focused innovative finance and impact investment arm within Save the Children. We support the growth, success and sustainability of local businesses who are having a positive impact on children. We back these businesses through an array of technical support, resources, and services. These include providing a safe space for start-ups to pilot new approaches within Save the Children’s existing programmes, providing advice to businesses on their operations and impact, and providing finance through grants, loans and investments.

To further support local businesses, we take active steps creating market ecosystems which can benefit children, for example by setting up businesses in refugee settings, and helping vulnerable groups to pool resources and procure services for their community.

The Programmes Manager will play a crucial role in leading Kumwe Hub’s largest single project to date (over $500K). This is not a standard development project; instead it is a heavily innovative programme. There is only a very limited project plan in place, and the role holder will need to liaise with key programme stakeholders before building and delivering a plan based on their thoughts and suggestions.

The title of the programme is ‘Bridging the Digital Divide’. It aims to address challenges that refugees are largely left behind in the digital revolution. This lack of connectivity is a key barrier to accessing livelihoods opportunities as refugees are effectively barred from finding work in the digital economy. The role holder will be responsible for developing a plan to deliver internet services to refugee settings in a sustainable way – possibly through creating a market-based system where refugees group together to pay for services from local private sector actors.

The programme will involve a great deal of refugee community interaction, buy-in and collaboration, working hard to understand the needs in the community and possible opportunities to address those needs. While the programme is highly agile in nature it will roughly follow the key stages below:

Phase 1

In-depth needs assessment with refugees (approx. 3 months).
Market dialogue with possible providers (3 months).
Call(s) for applications to interested parties (2 months).
Contracting and customization of solutions (4 months)

Phase 2

Piloting the solution (10 months).

Phase 3

Dissemination and close-out phase (2 months).

There will be a significant emphasis on Monitoring Evaluation Accountability and Learning (MEAL), with the role holder expected to conduct research themselves and liaise very closely with MEAL colleagues in the camps settings, in Kigali and remotely with colleagues in Norway.

In helping Kumwe Hub deliver this project, the role holder will be helping to build sustainable business led eco-systems which could transform refugees’ access to the web (and the associated benefits therein). More broadly they will be helping Kumwe Hub achieve its vision of delivering a transformational new approach across Save the Children. They will be ‘shaking up traditional aid delivery’ and showing how a more locally-led, sustainable approach to development can be implemented.

A conceptual and theoretical understanding of innovation and agile project management.
