2012 Job opportunities in Kenya - Programme Manager
DDG- Programme Manager
Kenya
Background
Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a part of Danish Refugee Council (DRC). DRC has operated in Kenya since 2005, and DDG is now looking to establish operations in Kenya. DDG has operated in the region since 1999 (Somaliland) and has armed violence reduction programmes in Somaliland, Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan and Uganda.
DDG’s armed violence reduction (AVR) approach encompasses the following elements:
• Strengthening institutions and enhancing capacity for addressing safety needs
• Addressing immediate threats to life and limbs by explosive remnants of war
• Addressing small arms as a tool of violence
• Building capacity for conflict management and peace
• Strengthening relationships between security providers and communities
The AVR approach is currently implemented on the national level and on the community level. On the national level DDG seeks to support the authorities with small arms management, and supporting peace building and security sector reform initiatives. The Community Safety approach is rooted in a participatory process, where DDG assists target communities to assess their safety and security situation, define and prioritize their safety and security needs and identify resources to address these needs.
DDG will assess the needs and existing strategies on both national and community level, and develop activities that complement what is being done already. DDG therefore look for a Kenyan Programme Manager to lead the starting up of DDG’s activities in Kenya.
Responsibilities
The Programme Manager (PM) is responsible for developing a feasibility study in Kenya, focusing on implementing DDGs Community Safety activities in Turkana or another relevant location in Kenya. The PM is to conduct both field trip, desk study and liaise with relevant stakeholders in ensuring that DDG’s intervention is relevant and complementary to existing activities and strategies.
The PM is also expected to take lead in developing proposals, fundraising and thereby to create the funding base for the programme. Implementation is expected to commence ultimo 2012.
