Job Description

_Background/IRC Summary:_ The International Rescue Committee IRC
responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive
and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein,
the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced
to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 28 U.S.
cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and
struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

Position Summary:

IRC is seeking a Project Coordinator in Tanzania for a five-year project,
“PlayMatters”, funded by the LEGO Foundation. This position will be a part of
the larger PlayMatters initiative to increase play-based learning
opportunities for nearly 1 million pre-primary and primary school aged refugee
and host community children impacted by the humanitarian crises in East Africa
and living in Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania. This project aims to build
children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative skills through
play in their homes, schools, and communities and will be implemented in
partnership with War Child, Plan International, Ubongo, Behavioural Insights
Team and Innovations for Poverty Action.

The Project Coordinator for Tanzania will be responsible for coordinating
across these partners and IRC staff to ensure the project delivers high impact
programming for children. In addition, the Project Coordinator will be
responsible for ensuring design and implementation of project activities
engages other key stakeholders required to achieve results such as government
officials, the UN and other humanitarian coordination actors, as well as other
implementing agencies outside of the consortium. The Project Coordinator will
ensure that the project achieves the expected results in Tanzania and is
implemented in accordance with the donor agreement, donor regulations, and
internationally recognized quality of assistance standards. The Project
Coordinator will report both into the IRC Country Program senior management
team as well as into a PlayMatters Senior Regional Management Team based in
Uganda. The Project Coordinator will jointly work with the regional management
and technical team to also ensure a coordinated and cohesive program approach
across Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania to jointly learn and ensure results
across the two countries.
