JOB DETAILS:

Ripple Effect has been working in Rwanda for over the last 24 years and has ongoing projects in 10 districts. Ripple Effect Rwanda is implementing one of its projects, “Ongera Amata”, a dairy development project in partnership with grant holder – RJAHS (Jersey Island) and both ICRAF and The Dairy Group, with the project funded by Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA). 

The Project Manager/Project Coordinator will take the lead in driving the project forward, serving as the face of our organisation in the process. The role involves not only ensuring the project's successful delivery and real-world impact but also managing the project team with finesse. You'll be responsible for overseeing the donor contract, aligning it seamlessly with the plan, budget, and log frame to make a meaningful difference. Join us in making a lasting impact through effective leadership and strategic project management!

The Ongera Amata project has a parallel sister project, “Amakuru ku nka z’umukamo”, which is more directly managed by Ongera Amata grant holder – RJAHS, but the two projects overlap at various steps, and therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to acquire some knowledge on the “Amakuru ku nka z’umukamo” project, to ensure that both achieve the success they deserve as a leading implementation agent in dairy in Rwanda.

About Us

Established in 1988 (as Send a Cow), Ripple Effect is a dynamic and passionate international development charity on a mission to create a powerful and lasting impact. Our vision is to see a rural Africa that is confident, thriving, and sustainable, with a growing economy and higher living standards for all. At Ripple Effect, we've honed our focus on three critical areas: Sustainable Agriculture, Gender and Social Inclusion, and Enterprise Development. Through these pillars, we're dedicated to combating poverty and nurturing a vibrant, thriving African landscape that will thrive for generations to come.

About you

As an ideal candidate for Project Manager/Project Coordinator, you will bring at least three years of experience in a management role, showcasing your strategic planning and budget management skills. Your ability to prepare compelling proposals, engage in fundraising activities, and deliver impactful reports sets you apart. Your proficiency in English, coupled with your experience in dairy development projects, milk value chain and NGO work, positions you as a valuable asset to Ripple Effect.

Your leadership qualities shine through, and you possess excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. You thrive as a team leader, builder, and developer, with a knack for strategic thinking and attention to detail. Your creativity and innovation complement your commitment to our mission, values of integrity, accountability, and compassion. If you are an initiator, self-driven, and possess a strong network, we invite you to apply.
