Background
The low middle income classification of Congo Brazzaville has led to a decrease in funding from international development partners and necessitated advocacy with national governments for domestic resource mobilization and leveraging, while the full potential of partnerships with the private sector has yet to be explored.
In this regard, a majority of partnerships and funding opportunities are likely to emanate from the country. However, while exploring the potential with Government for leveraging domestic resources for children, there is also a need to sustain advocacy with the private sector and the international donors and to find alternative and new funding schemes to mitigate the impact of the financial crisis on Children's well-being and the realization of their rights.
This will require additional human resources given limited capacities in the country office.
Purpose of the Position
Under the leadership and general guidance of the Representative, the incumbent will be accountable for developing, managing, coordinating, implementing and monitoring a partnership strategy and associated products and activities.
The primary objective of this function is to develop new holistic funding opportunities or partnerships with the public and the private sectors (financial and non-financial) in support of the Programme priorities.
