    Description

    Job Title:
    Programme Officers (2)


    Organisation:
    Africa Human Capital Development Plus (Africa HCD+)

    Location:
    Abuja, Nigeria and Freetown, Sierra Leone

    Date: 20th March 2024

    Apply by: 3rd April 2024


    BACKGROUND


    Africa HCD+ is a platform funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and will have the capability to serve as an African voice for advocacy, accountability, and transparency on HCD.

    It seeks to accelerate political commitments, decision-making and funding for key priorities towards realising SDGs #1-6 in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    It aims to incubate regional advocacy and technical assistance hub on Human Capital Development towards increasing African Government's commitment, funding, and accountability to HCD.

    The platform, through increased HCD advocacy, focuses on five pillars:
    (i) Health and Health Security; (ii) Nutrition and Food Security; (iii) Education, Skills Development, and Labour Participation; (iv) Entrepreneurship, Financial Inclusion, and Digital Transformation; and (v) Gender transformative HCD.

    Also, HCD sits across multiple Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in many African governments. Hence, there has not been any organisation that holds an integrated vision for HCD.

    This makes an HCD-focused institution like the Africa HCD+ highly critical to further supporting the HCD agenda on the continent.


    HCD+ focuses on four strategic objectives:
    (i) Creating transparency on the HCD performance across the continent; (ii) Advocating with heads of state and decision-makers to make HCD a priority; (iii) Ensuring effective coordination and collaboration with stakeholders and decision-makers; and (iv) Selectively driving the implementation of flagship programmes in education, health, and economic inclusion. The programme has since commenced its activities in Abuja.
