Pretoria, South Africa Foreign & Commonwealth Office Full time

Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

**Main purpose of job**:
Many countries, including middle-income countries still face considerable challenges such as youth unemployment, climate change, high and persistent inequality (including gender inequality) and digital exclusion, which can lower long-term growth prospects.

Access to the internet is a powerful catalyst to prosperity, reducing poverty and building inclusion - with a 10% increase in internet access linked to 3% growth in GDP, and a range of social and economic benefits. A key UK priority is to facilitate wider and more affordable, safer and more secure digital access for excluded and underserved populations, harnessing the power of digital inclusion and transformation to tackle poverty, build prosperity and enable millions of people - especially socio-economically disadvantaged populations - to benefit from digital services and opportunities.

The British High Commission in South Africa delivers a portfolio of activities to support the broad-based and inclusive growth needed for poverty reduction. Our strategic priorities within the Economic Growth team include supporting trade and investment, improving business environment and economic reform, driving productivity in key sectors through education, employment and skills development, improving digital access, support for entrepreneurship and MSMEs and sustainable urban development. This role will be expected to oversee policy and programme activity that delivers against our priorities for digital access, digital inclusion, digital policy and regulation and digital connectivity.

**Digital Access programme**:The Digital Access Programme (DAP) aims to address the fundamental constraints to digital inclusion through a multi-pillar cross-government structure. This role will focus on the delivery of the ‘Models and Enablers’ pillar, which is the lead component (Pillar 1) of this centrally-managed multi-country FCDO-DSIT partnership. This pillar focusses on testing and validating innovative, sustainable and scalable models for affordable connectivity, and on promoting digital skills, locally-relevant digital content and digital services for excluded or underserved communities; this is supported by key enablers of digital inclusion such as improving the relevant policy and regulatory environment, and enhancing the capacity of key institutions. This role will also support the co-ordination and coherence of the Digital Access Programme across the British High Commission, working closely with Cyber and UK-South Africa Tech Hub colleagues (as Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 of the DAP), and liaising with the DAP central teams in London.

The DAP will also help deliver the UK’s commitment to support implementation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), especially SDG 8 “decent work and economic growth” and SDG 4 “Quality education” 1”, but also SGD 1 “No Poverty, SDG 5 “Gender Equality” and SDG 10 to “reduce inequalities”, besides helping achieve the internet connectivity target under SDG 9 (“Industries, Innovation and Infrastructure”).

**Role and Responsibilities**:
The Digital Access Programme Officer will support the design, implementation and management of the programme in South Africa - working with the team at post and with the cross-departmental programme team in the UK. The role presents a unique opportunity to contribute to advancing the UK-South Africa relationship on digital inclusion for development and prosperity at a time when these issues are of increasing importance on the international agenda.

**Digital Access Programme Management (Pillar One ‘Models and Enablers’)**
- The post holder will build relationships with the implementing partners to ensure delivery is monitored in coordination with the DAP central team. This will include pre-empting risks and ensuring that programme activities deliver the expected outcomes.
- Support day-to-day coordination with the other pillars of the DAP programme including pillar 2: Cyber-security capacity building and Pillar 3: UK South Africa Tech hub - to facilitate alignment with the other parts of the Programme, design and deliver cross-pillar projects where relevant, support joint implementation of the DAP’s Country Level Implementation Plan (covering the three pillars).
- The post holder will act as focal point for internal and external communication on programme activities in South Africa, ensuring the Programme’s visibility is properly managed. The post holder will support the implementation the Programme’s communications strategy as approved by the Programme’s governance structure. The post holder will also support the organisation and delivery of key visits, related to the implementation and promotion of the relevant projects under DAP.
- The jobholder will support and contribute towards the relevant programme governance and coordination mechanisms, e.g. by working as part of the broader South Afric
