Working closely with the Executive Director and staff members, the Project Coordinator will lead planning, implementation, and evaluation of activities that promote NCD prevention and control, health education, policy advocacy, as well as people with NCD lived experience and community empowerment. The role requires a proactive, organized, and adaptable professional who thrives in multi-sectoral environments and is passionate about improving public health outcomes. This is a full-time position based in Kigali, with regular travel to field sites and partner institutions. It offers a unique opportunity to contribute to NCDs prevention and control national strategies and health equity efforts while building leadership experience in a dynamic civil society network.
