2012 NGO Jobs- Head of Kenya and the Horn of Africa programme


BACKGROUND: 
Saferworld is an independent non-governmental organisation that works internationally with governments, international/regional organisations and local civil society - especially in fragile contexts - to prevent violent conflict and contribute to long term recovery and stability. Since our establishment in 1989, we have been active internationally to encourage and support effective policies and practices through advocacy, research and policy development, and through supporting the actions of others. We have made significant progress on a range of conflict prevention issues such as promoting effective and more accountable security and justice sector development and supporting initiatives to tackle the spread and misuse of small arms and light weapons.
Saferworld has developed its work both at the international level across these themes and in countries affected by conflict or insecurity. We engage in over 15 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In addition to our headquarters in London, we have staff based in Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Nepal, Kosovo, Brussels and Vienna.
Saferworld has worked in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus upon the Horn of Africa region. We have well-established programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia and Sudan.  The regional  programme office is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and from where we oversee operations in Somalia/Somaliland. We also have an office in Kampala (Uganda) where the Head of S/Sudan and the Great Lakes programme is based and in Juba, South Sudan.
Job Purpose:    
The Head of Kenya and the Horn of Africa programme is responsible for the design and delivery of all Saferworld’s work in the region, promoting conflict prevention and cooperative approaches to security and justice. The current focus is on the Kenya and Somalia country programmes; developing interests in Ethiopia and at the sub-region; and–together with the Head of S/Sudan and the Great Lakes programme–developing broader regional interests and acting on strategic opportunities for new engagements where they occur.  The post holder will contribute regularly to Saferworld’s organisational learning and strategy development as a member of the Organisational Management Team.
