World Vision

The escalation of conflict in Ukraine has forced more than 5 million people – mostly women and children – to flee to neighbouring countries. With the escalating crisis, the needs are growing by the hour. More than half of Ukraine’s children have either fled for safety within the country or are living as refugees.

Since the conflict started, our teams have been on the ground assessing and responding to the urgent needs of those searching for safety. We are working to support internally displaced people in Ukraine as well as refugees in Romania, Georgia and Moldova.

Here’s where you come in:

As the Partnership Manager, you will spearhead partnering processes and elements of capacity development for World Vision’s Ukraine Crisis Response partners (LNGOs, INGOs and government) in three countries where World Vision is currently responding: Ukraine, Romania and Moldova. You will target not only the operational capacity of partners to deliver projects on-time and on-target, but also deliberately build the organisational capacity of partners to deliver accountable, holistic programming, demonstrating the highest standards of governance and employing strong internal control systems.

You will develop partner-specific capacity development plans; be responsible for the provision of technical support to and monitor partner improvement across a number of development areas. You will develop and implement training modules along a whole host of capacity areas in an effort to improve both the organisational and operational capacity of implementing partners. You will develop and maintain partner grading system, actively tracking partner uptake of new skills and abilities.

Requirements include:

  • Degree in relevant field (Development, Social Sciences, International development/ International relations)
  • 10 years of experience in the field of development issues, compliance management or auditing, partnering, and humanitarian emergency affairs in conflict and post-conflict settings.
  • At least 5 years experience in program reviews, and provision of support to WFP, EU USAID-OFDA or any UN Partners (or direct undertaking of implementation through partners)

  • Good English languages skills, Ukrainian or Russian is an asset
