Contract

This is a UNV National Specialist contract. This kind of contract is known as National UN Volunteer. It is normally only for nationals. More about UNV National Specialist contracts.

The Rwanda Country Office (RCO) raises approximately USD 12 million annually from public and private donors and increasingly contributes to leveraging funds for the government in social sectors. In an increasingly competitive environment, the RCO needs a full-time professional to maintain its fundraising capacity, diversify its donor base, and maintain good donor relations. The Country Office prepares around 60 donor reports annually and, with the shift of the new Country Programme (CPD 2025-2029) to more upstream work, is likely to have to diversify its donor base.

Under the supervision of the Chief of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) and overall guidance of the Deputy Representative, the incumbent will be accountable for supporting the implementation of the Country Office’s resource mobilization strategy and monitoring of UNICEF’s partnerships and donor reporting. The duties and responsibilities detailed below will be accomplished in coordination with the programme sections, the Budget Officer (NO-B), and the Communications, Advocacy and Partnership (CAP) team. The post is crucial to accomplishing the RCO’s significantly increased volume of work in resource mobilization and donor reporting.

Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, has experienced remarkable rejuvenation and stability, evident upon arrival in the city. While motorcycle taxis are the fastest mode of transport, they're not recommended without your own helmet, though some provide helmets. Standard taxis, marked with yellow stripes, are another option, with many operated by Kigali Taxi Service or Kigali Airport Taxis. Public transportation is affordable and efficient, with new and well-maintained buses available, and prepaid cards can be purchased at bus stations. Rental cars are also available due to significant investment in infrastructure, leading to minimal congestion. Accommodations in Kigali are readily available and meet relevant standards, with recreational facilities like swimming pools also accessible. Shopping options include various shops and markets offering essential items, imported goods, home furnishings, electrical appliances, and vehicle spare parts. The city boasts both public and private health facilities, such as King Faisal Hospital and Legacy Clinic, equipped to handle emergencies and affiliated with CIGNA insurance. Kigali is considered exceptionally safe, with emergency numbers like 999 for police, 111 for fire fighters, and 112 for general emergencies, and 113 for traffic accidents. The UNV Programme offers monthly living allowance covering basic needs like housing, utilities, transportation, and communication. The purpose of the allowances and entitlements paid to UN Volunteers is to enable them to sustain a secure standard of living at the duty stations in line with United Nations standards without incurring personal costs. The allowances are in no way to be understood as compensation, reward, or salary in exchange for the UN Volunteer’s service.
