Job Description
Job Title: Deputy Chief of Party/ Programs
Department/Country: Mali
Position Type: Full Time
Job Location: Sévaré, Mopti Region
Reports To: Project Chief of Party and CRS/Mali Head of Programs
About CRS:
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) carries out the commitment of the Bishops of the United States to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas. Our Catholic identity is at the heart of our mission and operations. We welcome as a part of our staff and as partners people of all faiths and secular traditions who share our values and our commitment to serving those in need.
Background:
CRS is seeking a Deputy Chief of Party/ Programs (DCoP) for the anticipated five-year USAID/Mali Conflict Mitigation Program (CMP), expected to build on the current USAID/OTI Mali Transition Initiative’s activities that supports broad-based, inclusive, and participatory democratic processes. With this project, USAID will strengthen targeted Northern communities’ resilience to conflict and radicalization by working with Malian government actors and local communities to address priority development and reconciliation needs. The project will likely include quick impact activities that respond to community needs through tangible development investments and that challenge the worldview of individuals susceptible to extremism; this small grants component will seek to reduce the isolation of target communities and increase the legitimacy of both local and central Malian government institutions through meaningful civic engagement and to strengthen the resilience of at-risk groups against violent extremism. Likely project objectives will be to: 1) Improve citizen perceptions of Malian government actors in targeted areas; 2) Strengthen communities’ social and economic resilience to negative external influences; and 3) Improve the role and voice of women and youth in political and peace processes in Mali.
