Movement building
We are hiring to fill a vacancy for the position of Programme Officer, Solidarity and Care. To fill this position, we are looking for a highly motivated person who is innovative, passionate about women’s rights in Africa, excited about African feminisms and embraces African women’s rich diversity.

As part of our new strategy, AWDF is building on our approach of strengthening the movement and funded partners to a more transformative and de-colonised approach which gives feminist and women’s rights activists, organisations and collectives in Africa the ownership and space to make transformative choices and impact their communities across the continent.

The Programme Officer is responsible for supporting the implementation of AWDF’s Solidarity and Care strategy to strengthen and uphold African women’s and feminist organisations and movements. The role will work under the leadership of the Programme Specialist – Solidarity and Care. The Solidarity and Care unit follows a cross-cluster operational model and the post-holder will therefore work with and be supported by various clusters, units and teams across the Programmes Department.

If you have experience in contributing to a programme and portfolio of work with identified entities, particularly individual activists in a strategic, inclusive, feminist, trust-based, collaborative and responsive approach for longer-term support, we’d love to hear from you.
