DESCRIPTION
Background: DAI in partnership with TetraTech is implementing a long term EU-funded project in Malawi titled Technical Assistance to the Government of Malawi to support the implementation of Public Finance Management Reforms (“Chuma Cha Dziko”). The overarching goal of this project is to support more efficient and effective use of public resources, thereby contributing to Malawi’s economic growth and development. The project purpose is to facilitate behaviour change and improve public sector performance in the following areas: public procurement and contract management, payroll and pension management, commitment control and debt management, parastatal financial management and oversight, and domestic revenue mobilisation policy. The project runs until May 2024.
THE ROLE:
DAI is recruiting for a Team Leader position starting November/December 2020 to be based full-time in Lilongwe, Malawi.
1. The Team Leader will use change management principles to enhance the implementation of PFM reforms and will guide the approach adopted by other Key Experts so that they each play a role in facilitating behaviour change.
2. The Team Leader will be in charge of overall project coordination and quality control of project deliverables across all key result areas.
3. The Team Leader will also work closely with key Government departments and related donor programmes. Project results should be achieved by building ownership of the theory of change, using diplomatic skills to foster close partnerships, and using participatory approaches in planning and implementing interventions.
