This role is central to DRC’s localization strategy that aims to increase access to humanitarian funding for minority rights groups and ensure a more representative and inclusive humanitarian response.
The Partner Capacity Building Specialist is responsible for the implementation of the grants compliance and fundraising aspects of the capacity building project with the overall goal of supporting local NGOs to apply for institutional funding, meet donor compliance requirements, manage grants, and increase funding opportunities. This will be done by supporting capacity-building needs assessments, developing and carrying out formal training, on-the-job training, and mentorship to the staff of local NGO partners. This is not a traditional grant management role: instead, it has the aim of working with national organizations to apply for and manage their own funding streams without them acting as implementing partners for DRC.
The post holder must be dedicated to supporting national organizations to strengthen grants management and fundraising and passionate about capacity building. The position will be based in Galkayo with significant field travel.
