United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Donor Scoping & Engagement Consultant

Organization: Save the Children UK
Country: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Closing date: 19 Nov 2014

About Us

At Save the Children, we have a vision of a world where children from all backgrounds and circumstances have enough to eat, protection from preventable sickness and from violence, shelter and care and the education to fulfil their potential. But this is not just a vision. We have every intention of making it reality – and we have already taken the first important steps to ensure that this happens in our lifetime.

Our Signature Programmes are a vast step forward for the sector and for people across the world that are in need of sustainable change. They are innovative programmes designed to harness the powers of partnership, research and assessment to provide specific, evidence-based solutions to the intricate problems of poverty and inequality, first at the local, then national, then international level.

About the Role

The overall objective of this assignment is to conduct a comprehensive donor scoping and intelligence of funding agencies in-country and globally for both Signature Programmes and thereafter produce a report that will help in determining potential and like-minded partner agencies that Save the Children UK will target for the next five years in achievement of the strategic objectives and aspirations of the new Signature Programmes. Specifically, the consultant will lead the donor mapping process with a view to actively seeking partnerships with those donors whose priorities are in line with those of the two Signature Programmes as well as seeking to influence donor policies in areas of work that will be crucial to their successful implementation.
