Program Manager II at Catholic Relief Services

Posted on Wed 17th Aug, 2022 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an international non-governmental organization supporting relief and development work in over 99 countries around the world. CRS programs assist persons on the basis of need, regardless of creed, ethnicity or nationality. CRS is a global leader in agricultural livelihoods programming, and promotes resilience building in impoverished, disaster-affected, and climate change-impacted areas around the world. CRS re-established presence in Nigeria in 2000 and currently works in 32 of Nigeria’s 36 states, focusing on agriculture and livelihoods, health, and emergency programming.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Program Manager II

Location: Yola, Adamawa
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Background

  • For more than 10 years, the Lake Chad Basin (LCB) crisis – impacting the areas bordering Lake Chad in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon - has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, torn apart communities and families, constrained livelihood opportunities, destroyed infrastructure, and dismantled local government’s ability to respond to the needs of its citizens.
  • To respond to the urgent resilience/recovery needs of the people affected by the LCB Crisis, CRS has initiated the Stabilization and Reconciliation in the Lake Chad Region (STaR) Project, a 5-1/2 year, 25-million Euro program generously financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KfW (German Development Cooperation).
  • STaR will target approximately 170,000 households across the four target countries of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, enabling communities and individuals to feel more secure and cohesive; to improve their livelihoods; to be more resilient in facing shocks; to use non-violent means to address conflicts; and to be more optimistic about the future.
  • The program will contribute to the rehabilitation/re-establishment of basic services and livelihoods and strengthen the capacity of communities and local governments to sustainably manage their resources; to reinforce their social cohesion; and to build more resilient households and societies.
  • In Nigeria, the STaR Project Phase II will be implemented across four Local Government Areas in Adamawa State and will be managed out of the STaR project office in Yola, Adamawa through Sept 14, 2024. Negotiations with the donor for another Phase III duration extension are underway.

  • You will oversee the accounting, costing and billing and monitoring project costs and manage submissions of tenders, providing technical and practical experience where necessary.
  • You will play a lead role in representation of CRS and the STaR project with the Church; civil society and local government actors/institutions in Adamawa.

  • Collaborate with Head of Office, Yola to lead local representation for CRS to the Church and state/local government in Adamawa, ensuring Church and government authorities are regularly updated on CRS work in Adamawa and that CRS activities align with local Church and host government strategies/initiatives, where possible.
