Shaping a stronger Oxfam for people living in poverty
Country Context
A new Oxfam Country Strategy (OCS) was finalised in 2015 and a Country Operating Model (COM) in 2016. A transition process has been completed to amalgamate all existing Oxfam operations in a country under one roof. A new operating model has been introduced for Vision 2020 and will be rolled out and embedded in Ethiopia over the next 3 years. A key component of this is the establishment of an Executing Affiliate (EA) to operationalize the Oxfam programme in Ethiopia, under the oversight of the Oxfam International Country Director (OI CD). As the legally registered entity in the country, it employs in-country staff, is the asset holder, primary contract signatory with in-country donors and suppliers, manages finances and provides back office support and IT systems, and represents the Oxfam Confederation in a country. Complementing the work of the Executing Affiliate are Partner Affiliates that provide funding (restricted and unrestricted), thematic expertise and influencing capacity.
Team Purpose
The Grants Unit will contribute to secure the restricted funds needed to implement the programmes in the Country Strategy according to the donor requirements. The proposals and reports quality as well as timeliness are key areas that this unit has to ensure. On the other hand, taking into account the important work Oxfam wants to do with partners, the Grants Team will have to ensure that both, partners and internal Oxfam Staff have the comprehension and competencies to follow donor rules and regulations. If this is not the case, capacity-building plans will have to be developed. This unit will be working for the whole Ethiopia Programme that includes the long-term, humanitarian and campaigns.
Job Purpose
The Grants Manager will provide direct support to the organisation leading on the development of the fundraising strategy, identifying new donors, managing existing donor relationships, ensuring that donor compliance requirements are met and facilitating the development of new programme designs and proposals.
As a senior manager within Oxfam, the Grants Manager leads the planning, coordination, securing and management of restricted income to enable Oxfam in Ethiopia to deliver on the national country strategy.
