World University Service of Canada (WUSC) is a leading Canadian international development organization that works with and through its southern partners to promote sustainable development. Founded in 1957 and currently working in more than 20 countries worldwide with an annual budget of approximately $45 million dollars, WUSC fosters youth-centered solutions for improved education, economic, and empowerment opportunities to overcome inequality and exclusion. We believe youth have the potential to provide for their families, build strong communities, and create positive social change for future generations. Globally, WUSC has a network of higher education institutions, civil society organizations, private sector partners, professionals, students, volunteers, faculty, and community leaders that can be leveraged to support our work.
**DREEM project**:
WUSC, through the DREEM project, plays a unique role as a **technical assistance and strategic learning partner **to the Mastercard Foundation and its partners. The DREEM project contributes to the Foundation’s commitment to meaningfully include refugee and displaced youth in their Scholars Program and Young Africa Works strategies.
The DREEM project focuses on two key pillars:
**a. Higher Education Inclusion**:
a. **Support Scholars Program (SP) partners **and staff with the knowledge, capacity and networks to meaningfully recruit and serve refugees and displaced youth in higher education and transition to work and to work towards more inclusive societies;
**b. Economic Inclusion**:
a. **Support Young Africa Works (YAW) **country partners and staff primarily in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia and also in other countries around the continent to gain the knowledge, capacity and networks to meaningfully include and develop programming that meets the unique training and employment needs, opportunities and aspirations of refugee and displaced youth, especially young women;
b. **Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Refugees (SEOR) **to complement WUSC’s existing Learning through Education and Access to Employment Pathways
(LEAP) project and provide refugee entrepreneurs, especially young women with improved access to market-oriented business support services that improve business and employment outcomes in Kenya.
Mastercard Foundation recently approved an enterprise-wide Refugee and Displaced Persons (RDP) Strategy aiming to invest in young Africans who have faced forcible displacement—and in the host communities, they become part of—by enabling access to high-quality education and training and supporting young people's pathways to dignified and fulfilling work as employees or entrepreneurs and job creators. The Foundation also works with multiple stakeholders across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, particularly young people themselves, to address systemic barriers inhibiting the economic prospects of forcibly displaced youth.
**Job Role**:
The Senior Economic Inclusion Manager - Pan Africa will play a critical role in advancing the missions of WUSC and the Mastercard Foundation in enhancing access to educational and economic opportunities for RDP youth, with a focus on Rwanda, francophone Africa, South Sudan and other countries of expansion. This position requires a dedicated, innovative and experienced individual who can provide technical guidance on issues of displacement, lead programming and research initiatives, identify new opportunities and stakeholders for partnerships, and develop strategies in a variety of geographies on the continent that advance the delivery of the Foundation’s RDP strategy.
The Senior Manager will work closely and in collaboration with WUSC teams in Kenya and globally, the Mastercard Foundation’s regional and country teams, and the Foundation’s partners. Reporting to the DREEM Project Director15Oc, they will:
- Work collaboratively with DREEM team members to provide technical, programmatic, and coordination support to ensure the economic inclusion goals of the Mastercard Foundation under DREEM are met;
- Provides overall direction and strategic guidance for the technical advice and capacity building and advisory support for Young Africa Works partners and programming in Rwanda, South Sudan, francophone Africa and new countries of focus;
