Anticipatory Action and Innovative Finance Programme Manager
Full Description
**Are you based in Malawi and passionate about Action and Innovative Finance? Danish Red Cross is looking for a Programme Manager to help manage our progammes, provide support to Malawi Red Cross Society (MRCS), and support the development and growth of the portfolio in Malawi to ensure that vulnerable communities are protected and less affected by disasters and crisis.**
Malawi is one of the world’s least developed and poorest countries. About 85% of the population live in the rural areas, and the majority of smallholders depend on rain fed agriculture. Vulnerability is thus widespread and not concentrated to any specific part of the country. Malawi is prone to recurrent flooding and droughts and, as a result of climate change, the frequency of these hazards is predicted to intensify, thus putting extra pressure on already vulnerable communities.
The Anticipatory Action and Innovative Finance Programme Manager is a team member of the International Department of Danish Red Cross (DRC). The overall purpose of this position is to support the Malawi Red Cross Society (MRCS) in development, management and successful implementation of the Anticipatory Action (AA) and Innovative Finance initiatives.
The Anticipatory Action and Innovative Finance Programme Manager reports to, and works in close coordination with, the Danish Red Cross Country Manager, also based in Lilongwe, who is responsible for the overall management of DRC's programme portfolio in Malawi.
**Main responsibilities of the Anticipatory Action and Innovative Finance Programme Manager include:**
- Work closely with the MRCS counterparts and Consortia partners to establish and maintain an effective programme management system and to ensure progress of the projects as per project document, logframe, budget, action plans and donor requirements.
- Support the further development of innovative financing solutions for Disaster Risk Management in Malawi.
- Work close with MRCS Finance team and DRC Finance staff
