Senior Programmes & Partnerships Officer

Amref Health Africa is the largest Africa-based international health development organisation. We work to bring about lasting health change in Africa.

Amref Health Africa’s Headquarters are in Nairobi and Amref works in 35 countries to improve access to healthcare and to help create an environment that is conducive to good health. Amref’s programmes focus on: child health and nutrition; communicable and non-communicable diseases; health financing; maternal, newborn health; neglected tropical diseases; sexual and reproductive health and rights; and water, sanitation and hygiene. Our programmes align with our Global Strategy objectives: to increase primary healthcare access for all, and to address the social determinants of health, such as access to education, gender, and the impacts of climate change.

Amref Health Africa UK is an independent UK-registered NGO that exists to support the programme and policy activities of Amref Health Africa. With a UK-based Board of Trustees and staff team, our main purpose in the UK is to develop and manage partnerships with UK donors who want to support Amref’s work in Africa.

The Senior Programmes & Partnerships Officer (SPPO) is a key post in the Amref UK restricted income team and will play an integral part in our strategy to increase restricted income and deliver impactful programmes across sub-Saharan Africa.

In this role, you will manage a portfolio of projects and relationships with key partners that provide funding for our programmes – demonstrating an efficiently seamless end-to-end approach to programme and donor management. You will build on and develop existing relationships with these funding partners to increase income through larger funding amounts covering longer periods and take forward new funding opportunities that arise from our existing partnerships, supporters, and networks.

You will provide project management and technical support across several health projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, including in the design of new projects, proposal writing, programme and financial management of current projects, supporting monitoring and evaluation of programmes and managing relationships with Amref technical and in-country teams in Africa.
