The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation

Kvinna till Kvinna has defended women’s rights since 1993 — for every woman’s right to be safe and to be heard. Today, we are one of the world’s leading women’s rights organisations, working directly in areas affected by war and conflict to strengthen women’s influence and power. We work closely with over 150 local partner organisations across 20 countries to end violence against women, achieve lasting peace, and close the gender gap once and for all.

The future is equal. And together, we are change.
About the job

Kvinna till Kvinna has supported women’s rights in Liberia since 2009, with an office in Monrovia since 2011.

As Programme Manager, you will lead the daily work of the programme team and ensure high-quality implementation of two key programmes: POWER (funded by Sida) and Strengthen Her Voice (funded by UNPBF). You will manage partnerships with women’s rights organisations and activists across Liberia and ensure that our work aligns with Kvinna till Kvinna’s mandate, values, and operational plans.

While you will not have direct line management responsibilities, you will guide and support the programme officers and contribute to a positive, inclusive, and value-based team culture. You will work closely with the Country Director, Finance Manager, and other Liberia office staff, as well as with colleagues at Kvinna till Kvinna’s Head Office in Sweden.

  • Foster a positive and inclusive team culture and ensure smooth internal coordination.
