About Restless Development
We have operated in Uganda since 1997. Our work is guided by four goals set out by young people; (1) Voice and Democracy: We support young people to lead as active citizens and create change in their communities by influencing social and political structures and those in power with evidence-based solutions. (2) Education and Livelihood: We want all young people to have the skills, knowledge, resilience and opportunities that enable them to thrive. We take a youth-led approach to ensuring that every young person has a quality education and access to training and opportunities that set them up for life. We want all young people, especially women and girls, to be able to stay in school and be able to make a sustainable, fulfilling living when they leave. (3) Gender and Sexual Health
About the role
The Programme Coordinator will provide strategic leadership, coordination, and oversight for all activities aimed at improving youth participation in governance, accountability and decision-making processes that will lead to improved youth-responsive governance and service delivery in Uganda. This role is responsible for planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluation and reporting on initiatives that build the knowledge, skills, and awareness of youth to meaningfully engage in governance, policy advocacy, and decision-making processes.

Working closely with implementing partners, youth structures, and stakeholders, the Coordinator will ensure that all project activities are delivered to a high standard, are youth-led, and effectively contribute to inclusive and accountable governance in the region.
