PURPOSE OF JOB: The Project Officer's primary responsibilities are aimed at leading on country level project management (technical, operational and financial), as well as strategic and partnership management. In addition, they will be involved in the delivery of capacity strengthening activities.

DIRECT REPORTS: multiple Project Coordinators.

Background

The Graça Machel l Trust is implementing Women Creating Wealth - Intergenerational Edition (WCW-l) in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation Through this 3-year project, supported by the Mastercard Foundation, we will reach 3,500 women across Kenya, Senegal, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, and South Africa, and create work opportunities for thousands of young Africans. In addition, we will support the creation of a more enabling environment for women-entrepreneurs to thrive.

Our impact goal is to transform Africa’s economies through a gender-responsive enterprise development system centred around women businesses to accelerate and sustain improvements in quality of life for women and youth. Under WCW - I we posit that: if women entrepreneurs receive personal, leadership and entrepreneurship capacity-strengthening; have access to a community of support, finance, and markets; and exist in an enabling environment, their enterprises will grow and transform from income generation to wealth creation. As their enterprises grow, more meaningful work will be created for the youth.

Our focus on women as catalysts for Africa’s transformation is backed by comprehensive research which shows that money in the hands of women goes a long way to addressing poverty and inequality as women typically invest more in their families and communities. As women create wealth, they are therefore more likely to contribute to the realisation of at least 6 Sustainable Development goals - zero poverty; zero hunger; good health and wellbeing; gender equality; decent work and economic growth.
