About BRAC International:
BRAC International (BI), a leading non-profit organisation, is on a mission to empower people and communities facing poverty, illiteracy, disease and social injustice. Our vision is a world free from exploitation and discrimination, where everyone has the opportunity to realise their potential. We design proven, scalable solutions that equip people with the support and confidence they need to achieve their potential.

Programme Development
  • Work closely with country teams to continuously assess the context, needs, and opportunities, designing innovative youth programs to expand BRAC International’s portfolio across different countries.
  • Participate in the project design process—both proactively and in response to calls for proposals—and contribute to the concept note and proposal development, including budget preparation for youth and integrated programs.
 
Support for Grants Management
  • Participate in and support country teams during the grant kick-off process and regularly engage in grant review meetings involving youth empowerment interventions to ensure effective project implementation.

Other Responsibilities

  • Assist country teams in developing and maintaining strong relationships with key government stakeholders, donors, partners, and other relevant actors.
 
Safeguarding Responsibilities
